Precision High Speed CNC Machining
BMJ Mold and Engineering provides state-of -the-art injection mold
building services to industries of all types and sizes in need of
injection molded plastic parts.
Precision High Speed CNC Machining: Computerized Accuracy
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, the most common form of CNC, is a
cutting process
for precision milling to cut cavities and cores, gears, inserts,
sub-inserts, mold bases and other metal components.
- Computer-driven accuracy to produce components that only a few years ago would have been virtually impossible with hand milling
- Precise repeatability of multiple mold copies
- Once programmed, High speed CNC milling machines can operate unattended
- Reduced production costs related to labor
Precision High Speed CNC Machining: A Brief Explanation
CNC machining (milling) is a cutting process in which
material is removed from a solid block of metal or other materials, such as:
- Aluminum
- Hardened steel
- Tool grade steel
|
- Stainless Steel
- Brass
- Copper
|
CNC milling machines are
traditionally programmed using a set of commands known as G-codes. G-codes represent specific CNC functions in alphanumeric
format.
- 3-Axis Milling / Machining - either work piece or cutting tool is moved in all three
dimensions to achieve the desired cut shape
- Material is usually removed by both the end and the side of the
cutting tool
- Cutting tool rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the table that holds the material to be cut
- Cutting tools of various profile shapes are available including:
- Wide variety of part shape and geometry possibilities
- Both 2D and 3D shapes can be produced
