CNC multi-axis turning is an automated manufacturing process that can use multiple cutting tools simultaneously, making it efficient, accurate, flexible, and safe. Industries can only generate parts and components if they maximise the right manufacturing processes. One of the processes they can take advantage of is turning, a machining process wherein a workpiece rotates on a lathe while cutting tools remove some of its material to create a desired shape or surface finish. The cutting tools used during this process can move in various directions relative to the workpiece. The process of turning can usually be done manually. But the […]

The machining industry takes advantage of many processes to effectively produce a wide range of parts and components. One of these processes is Electrical Discharge Machining or EDM. EDM is a machining process where electrical discharges are utilised to shape and remove material from a workpiece. It can generally generate parts and components with tight tolerances, which cannot be achieved through conventional machining methods. Even prototypes can be manufactured out of EDM. The Working Principles of EDM The EDM process involves a workpiece and an electrode, which are both submerged in a dielectric fluid made of oil or deionised water. […]

Computer numerical control (CNC) machining is a popular manufacturing process for different materials, including plastics. The machines used for this process can be controlled by computer programs, which utilise accurate and precise measurements to cut and shape materials into specific shapes and sizes. Generally, CNC machining can produce highly accurate and repeatable results, making it an ideal choice for creating plastic parts and components. Here are some of the most common CNC machining processes that industries can be used for plastics: Milling Milling is a CNC machining process that can be used for plastics. This process involves cutting the workpiece […]

Manufacturing businesses often utilise machining processes like turning, milling, and drilling to generate parts and products their clients need. They even cater to the production of prototypes to ensure their clients can first see their prospective products. The previously stated machining processes can be done manually by professionals experienced in operating machining tools. However, since technology has advanced significantly, manufacturers now utilise computer numerical control (CNC) machining to produce high-quality parts and prototypes. CNC machining can be beneficial to manufacturing businesses as it is efficient. Through software, the tools used for machining can already move on their own and process […]

Manufacturers and fabricators often rely on various processes to machine metal workpieces. Some of these processes are turning, milling, drilling, shaping, boring, and sawing. One common thing about these processes is they remove materials from workpieces to generate parts for tools, machines, and other products used by many industries. Upon machining the workpieces, some of these parts and products should undergo more processes before they are sent to various industries and sold to their clients. One of the processes that should be done to newly machined parts and products is surface grinding. Quick Overview of Surface Grinding Surface grinding is […]
