How Many Techniques of the Most Common CNC Machining?
Dec 01, 2021
CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process and technologies that remove material from a raw substance to create the desired piece.
Types of the most common CNC Machining:
Turning
Turning is a technique of manufacturing cylindrical parts with different sizes. Turning is done around an axis, and there are multiple axes that can be used to machine a part. Etone Technology can use 3, 4 or 5 axis machining to create the desired shape.
Milling
Milling is a technique where a rotating cutting surface is used to create holes that are not necessarily circular or to create unique designs. A milling tool uses multiple blades on a rotary cutter, that is used at an angle with the axis of the tool. Milling can create more unique and diverse patterns and shapes while removing material from the workpiece.
Grinding
A rotating grinding wheel moves against the surface of a piece to shape it. The function is somewhat similar to milling, though grinding does not employ cutting tools.
Drilling
This category consists of two-edged rotating devices that create round holes parallel to the axis of rotation.
Cutting
Devices such as saws and shears are typical examples of cutting implements. They are often used to cut material with predetermined dimensions, such as sheet metal, into a desired shape.
Boring
Boring is a process usually implemented in the finishing of a workpiece, where holes that were previously cut are enlarged. The initial holes may be made through drilling. Unlike drilling, boring uses a single point cutting tool.
