Frequently Asked Questions
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. It refers to the automation of machine tools via computers executing pre-programmed sequences of machine control commands, offering higher precision and repeatability compared to manually controlled machines.
Our company provides a variety of CNC machines including CNC mills, lathes, grinders. Each type serves different purposes, suitable for cutting, shaping, and grinding on various materials.
CNC machines can process a wide range of materials. Commonly used materials include metals such as aluminum and steel, plastics like ABS and polycarbonate, depending on the project requirements and machine specifications.
CNC machining ensures improved precision, consistency, and efficiency. Automation reduces the likelihood of errors, enhances safety by minimizing human intervention, and allows for complex designs and high-quality finishes.
Choosing the right CNC machine involves considering the material, the complexity of the design, and the desired precision. Evaluate the machine’s capacity, compatibility with the material, and the type of operations it can perform (e.g., cutting, engraving).
Yes, CNC machines are excellent for prototyping as they allow quick, precise, and repeatable production of parts. Whether metal or plastic, CNC machining can create detailed and functionally accurate prototypes swiftly.
The typical accuracy of CNC machines can vary but generally ranges from 0.002 to 0.0005 millimetres. The precision depends on the machine type, setup, and material used. High-precision machines are capable of achieving extremely tight tolerances for specialized applications.
The duration of CNC machining depends on the complexity of the part, the type of material, and the specific operations required. Simple projects might take a few hours, while more complex tasks could require several days of machine time.
Size limitations depend on the specific CNC machine used. Each machine has a maximum capacity for the dimensions it can handle, which typically ranges from small, intricate parts to large industrial components. Check the machine specifications for exact dimensions.
Maintaining a CNC machine involves regular lubrication, cleaning, and inspection for wear and tear. Scheduled maintenance should include checking fluid levels, ensuring all components are tightened and aligned, and updating software as necessary. Proper maintenance extends the machine’s lifespan and ensures consistent performance.
