Behind this futuristic term, there is a long history, which still describes the core of the development of computer-controlled machine tools. The established method of CNC machining includes the production of geometrically complex components with the support of special machines, which automatically implement the previously programmed specifications with high precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"The_principle_and_function_of_CNC_machining\">The principle and function of CNC machining<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The numerical control is in addition to the human component in CNC machining the factor that is probably the most important. These powerful helpers are three or five-axis milling machines that run through fully automated programs and produce a component. Depending on the desired component, the work steps defined in the routine include the removal of material that is not required or the production of a thread while maintaining the applicable standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The production of an object is based on 3D objects, which first have to be transmitted to the machine via a computer. As the process progresses, skilled workers must, for example, check both cutting speed and feed rate against the CNC computer calculations before manufacturing according to plan can take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px;text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"What_is_the_CNC_machining_process_like\">What is the CNC machining process like?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"1_Prepare_semi-finished_products\">1. Prepare semi-finished products<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Raw material, so-called semi-finished products, is required\u00a0for CNC machining.\u00a0These are mainly\u00a0bars\u00a0for turning and\u00a0saw cuts\u00a0in the form of plates for milling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the quantity, material, and size, the semi-finished products are either cut to size in our factory\u00a0or purchased from an\u00a0external material\u00a0dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"2_Set_up_the_CNC_machine\">2. Set up the CNC machine<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up the CNC machine is a basic requirement for CNC machining.&nbsp;To be able to produce CNC parts, the&nbsp;clamping of the semi-finished products&nbsp;and the&nbsp;tools&nbsp;such as milling cutters, drills, lathe tools, etc. must be prepared.&nbsp;The&nbsp;choice of clamping&nbsp;is mainly made depending on the geometry of the semi-finished product and the contour of the finished part to be achieved.&nbsp;Other factors are the machining paths of the tools on the workpiece in the machine and the forces expected during machining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of&nbsp;complex components&nbsp;in particular, for example, during milling, it may be necessary to prepare special clamping jaws beforehand.&nbsp;This requires a lot of experience and good preparation.&nbsp;The geometry of the turning or milling tools can be measured either with a tool presetting device or directly in the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"3_Program_CNC_machine\">3. Program CNC machine<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The machining program, the so-called\u00a0NC program, specifies how a finished <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamrapidtooling.com\/cnc-machining-parts-c-9.html\">CNC part<\/a> is produced from the semi-finished product using the prepared tools.\u00a0Depending on the complexity, the time required for programming varies between a few minutes and several hours.\u00a0Editor programs\u00a0and\u00a0CAM software\u00a0(Computer Aided Manufacturing software) can help to significantly speed up and simplify the programming effort.\u00a0Every work step can be programmed digitally with the help of a 3D model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about programming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"4_Adjusting_the_CNC_machine\">4. Adjusting the CNC machine<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the CNC program has been created and read in by the machine, the first component can be manufactured.&nbsp;Here, the NC program is run for the first time under the supervision of an employee.&nbsp;Any errors in the program can be corrected or corrections can be made, for example with drilling depths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"5_Production_release_through_quality_inspection\">5. Production release through quality inspection<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the production of the first component, the dimensions are&nbsp;checked using the&nbsp;technical drawing.&nbsp;For this purpose, various common&nbsp;measuring and test equipment&nbsp;as well as different&nbsp;measuring machines&nbsp;are used in our measuring room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"6_Manufacture_CNC_parts\">6. Manufacture CNC parts<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When all the preparation work steps have been successfully completed, the production of the CNC parts\u00a0begins.\u00a0The\u00a0production\u00a0time of the components is determined by various factors.\u00a0Essentially, the material determines the time required for machining.\u00a0The requirement for a certain surface quality also influences the production time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px;text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"what_does_CNC_machining_do8211which_type_of_component_is_generally_suitable_for_CNC_machining\">what does CNC machining do&#8211;which type of component is generally suitable for CNC machining<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The processes of milling and turning are very flexible CNC manufacturing processes with great freedom of design of the components. Especially in metalworking, these are used from prototypes to large series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"Surface_quality_criterion\">Surface quality criterion<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Typical\u00a0mean roughness values\u00a0for CNC machining are in the range of\u00a0Ra 0.8-3.2 \u00b5m.\u00a0Values \u200b\u200bsmaller than Ra 0.8 \u00b5m are also possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following factors have\u00a0an influence on the surface roughness: cutting values\u00a0during machining,\u00a0cutting\u00a0material and its cutting geometry and state of wear,\u00a0machining\u00a0properties of the material, and\u00a0use of cooling lubrication.\u00a0Compared to 3D printing, which is also becoming more relevant for small batch sizes, significantly higher surface qualities can be achieved with machining.\u00a0Untreated &#8220;unfinished&#8221; surfaces in 3D printing amount to about Ra 6-15 \u00b5m, depending on the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"Criterion_quantity\">Criterion quantity<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to many assumptions, CNC machining can be economical even for small to medium-sized quantities.\u00a0For small to medium quantities,\u00a0\u00a01-1,000 pieces are usually meant.\u00a0Basically, since the machine has to be set up once at the beginning of production, the costs per CNC part decrease as the number of pieces increases.\u00a0The one-time set-up of a CNC machine for manufacturing processes in the field of machining is compared, for example, with forming processes such as casting significantly lower.\u00a0This means that small batch sizes and individual parts for prototypes in particular can be manufactured economically.\u00a0Depending on the material and geometry of the components, CNC machining can also be an economical option\u00a0for larger quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px;text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"Criterion_manufacturing_time_vs_information_on_technical_drawings\">Criterion manufacturing time vs. information on technical drawings<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The motto time is money also applies to CNC machining.\u00a0Tolerances\u00a0and\u00a0surface\u00a0quality should always be selected by TEAM Rapid&#8217;s designer only\u00a0as tightly as is really necessary to\u00a0achieve cost-effective production.\u00a0At the end of the day, who needs an adapter plate with a glossy, smooth, and beautiful surface when the component disappears into a machine at the end of the assembly and only fulfills its function?\u00a0Of course, we manufacture the components as you wish, but\u00a0we are also happy to advise you\u00a0on the selection of tolerances and surface quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"Criterion_Accuracy\">Criterion Accuracy<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest pluses of CNC machining is\u00a0precision.\u00a0Geometric deviations that can be achieved are in the\u00a0range of a few micrometers.\u00a0This means that CNC machining is clearly superior to other manufacturing processes, for example when it comes to milling and turning.\u00a0The CNC parts can therefore be used without problems in areas where precise alignment within an assembly is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"criterion_material\">criterion material<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Various metals\u00a0are suitable for CNC machining, such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and brass, but\u00a0also high-strength plastics.\u00a0In principle, a large number of materials can be used, but it is also important to note here:\u00a0The harder the material, the higher the tool wear and the lower the material removal rate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px;text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"CNC_machining_method\">CNC machining method<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"Manufacture_CNC_milled_parts\">Manufacture CNC milled parts<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Milling is a machining manufacturing process of a mostly multi-toothed tool.&nbsp;In contrast to turning, the milling manufacturing process can also be used to produce non-rotationally symmetrical workpieces.&nbsp;With CNC milling, the tool rotates and the workpiece is firmly fixed in a fixture.&nbsp;The different types of&nbsp;milling machines are divided into 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining centers depending on their movement options. Depending on the direction of rotation of the milling cutter, a distinction is made between down milling and up milling.&nbsp;The milling processes are designated according to the workpiece geometry to be produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"Manufacture_CNC_turned_parts\">Manufacture CNC turned parts<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning is a cutting manufacturing process for the production of rotationally symmetrical components. The workpiece made of machinable material clamped in the lathe performs the circular cutting movement, while the tool performs the necessary feed and infeed movements. The workpiece thus represents the body of revolution. Through this process, the material is removed from the workpiece by the tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning methods are classified as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Depending on the position of the surface in external and internal turning<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Depending on the feed direction in transverse and longitudinal turning<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the machining surface, this classification can also be further differentiated into, for example, face turning, cylindrical turning, profile turning, or similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The range of applications for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamrapidtooling.com\/cnc-turning-machining-t-58.html\">CNC-turned parts<\/a> is diverse. It ranges from rotationally symmetrical components for automation technology, hydraulics, pneumatics, and mechanical and plant engineering to the smallest CNC-turned parts for medical technology and electrical engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px;text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"Advantages_of_the_CNC_machining\">Advantages of the CNC machining<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CNC machining offers many advantages over conventional machines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also allows the machining of complex shapes (3D),<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>works economically,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>is very precise and can repeat steps exactly and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>proceeds very quickly;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since programs can be stored, many of the same parts can be mass-produced without the need for personnel;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, CNC technology can be used to develop new concepts for machines because it does not require a connection between the main drive and the feed drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px;text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"The_difference_between_conventional_milling\">The difference between conventional milling<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamrapidtooling.com\/cnc-turning-machining-t-58.html\">CNC milling<\/a> is generally distinguished from conventional milling, which is controlled manually or mechanically. In contrast to CNC milling, the feeds are regulated either by cranks or simple feed devices. The scales with verniers show which dimensions are used. Almost all milling machines that are used productively now work with optoelectronic path measuring systems, i.e. processes that allow the conversion of electronically produced data and energy into light emission and vice versa. The tools are exchanged by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px;text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"Why_choose_TEAM_Rapid_for_CNC_Machining\">Why choose TEAM Rapid for CNC Machining?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"Fast_reliable_delivery\">Fast, reliable delivery<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Test and change part designs in rapid succession and accelerate product development with express parts.&nbsp;Our automated design analysis helps identify difficult-to-machine elements before sending your design to manufacturing.&nbsp;This avoids costly rework later in the product development cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><span id=\"Feedback_on_the_feasibility_of_the_design\">Feedback on the feasibility of the design<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you request a quote by uploading your 3D CAD file, we analyze the part geometry to identify hard-to-machine features.
