  1. The Steel Artist: CNC Machining Technology

  2. CNC machining has become a crucial part of economic growth. This automated subtractive manufacturing process plays a critical role in the fabrication of crucial machine parts. For example, the process crafts precise brake systems for automotive. • It’s also this process that’s used in fabricating aeroplane propellers and landing gears among other components. • Other industries that have embraced CNC machined parts include: • Mining • Manufacturing • Healthcare • Agriculture www.highfieldgears.co.uk

  3. People aren’t just embracing CNC machining technology for the sake of it – this advanced manufacturing technology comes with many benefits. For example, CNC machines can create precise tools with intricate patterns even for hard workpieces. www.highfieldgears.co.uk

  4. Moreover, it can produce huge volumes of complex components within a short time. Simply put, CNC Machining in Manchester and anywhere else improves productivity while reducing costs. • At this point, you could be wondering how this technology fabricates steel workpieces to produce the precise final tools required. Well, you should stick around to understand how this manufacturing process works. • The Equipment and Its Critical Components • At the heart of the CNC machining technology is the equipment itself – This equipment crafts those precise pieces. This machine has many parts – the crucial parts include the spindle, the control panel, and the worktable. • It’s in the control panel that the instructions that control the operation of the machine are input. Different types of machines enable movement in different axes. www.highfieldgears.co.uk

  5. For example, a 2-axis equipment allows movement in the X and Z axes. Because it’s a simple machine, it can only craft simple tools. • Amachine you’ll find almost anywhere is the 3-axis one which allows movement of the spindle in the X, Y, and Z axes. • To create even more intricate parts and internal geometries, a 5-axis CNC machine is used. In addition to the X, Y, and Z axes, it also allows movement in the A and B axes. • The complexity goes on and on as there are machines with 12 axes. As the axes of movement increase, the more advanced the machine gets, and the easier it is for it to produce complex and precise parts. www.highfieldgears.co.uk

  6. Programming of the CNC Machine • Most of the CNC machining processes are automated. The machine operation of the machine is controlled by a set of computerised instructions. • First, the machinist creates a model of the tool required using a CAD program. It’s this model that determines the features of the final tool including the dimensions, the curves, and other intricate patterns in the tool. • CAM software then converts the instructions into CNC machine-readable format. • Only a proficient CNC machinist understands how to design the model and create the instructions. That’s why you should work with professional machinists. At Highfield Gears, we have everything you need – expert machinists and advanced CNC equipment. www.highfieldgears.co.uk

  7. Examples of CNC Machining Processes • The machine begins to fabricate the workpiece. It’s the instructions you input that determine the direction, speed, and duration of movement of the spindle and the workpiece. www.highfieldgears.co.uk

  8. The machine fabricates the workpiece through different processes, which include: • Drilling to create holes • Milling to create intricate patterns • Turning to fabricate cylindrical workpieces • Other processes that help to create these tools include roaming and boring. The workpiece is refined to perfection before it’s removed from the machine. • CNC technology continues to improve, and more is yet to come. For example, with the advancement in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, there is bound to be more automation in this field. • Moreover, the machines will become even more advanced which means their precision will improve further. Regardless of the changes that happen in this industry, one thing is for sure – you can rely on Highfield Gears for your CNC Milling in Manchester or anywhere else. www.highfieldgears.co.uk
