Frequently asked questions about CNC machining centres:
What is a CNC machining centre?
CNC machining centres, such as a CNC machining centre for metal, are machine tools. With at least 3 and up to 5 simultaneously controlled and driven axes, the machine enables the fully automatic machining of highly complex workpieces such as injection moulds or cutting dies. Programming is done either manually via a monitor on the machine or by transferring data from a CAD drawing. CNC machining centres are also suitable for the series production of components in furniture making and other industrial operations.
What are CNC machining centres used for?
CNC machining centres are used to process precise and complex workpieces made of various materials fully automatically. Depending on the design and tools used, they are suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, light and non-ferrous metals, plastics and wood. They enable machining by milling and drilling, as well as turning depending on the equipment. A CNC machining centre for metals is used in mould, tool and jig making, in model making and in the manufacturing industry. These machines can be used to produce a wide variety of components and parts for different applications, such as components for aircraft, automobiles or medical devices, either individually or in series.
What advantages do CNC machining centres offer over simple machine tools?
A significant advantage of CNC machining centres over machine tools with fewer machining options is the higher productivity. By adding up to two additional axes, CNC machining centre manufacturers have significantly increased functionality. If necessary, a CNC machining centre equipped with a rotating table can also be used to perform simple to sophisticated turning operations. Another advantage of CNC machining centres are the usually automatic tool and workpiece changers. These components significantly shorten the chip-to-chip times on the machines of various CNC machining centre manufacturers, thus increasing productivity.
For whom is it worth investing in a CNC machining centre?
Investing in a CNC machining centre is always worthwhile when high-precision parts with complex geometries have to be produced on a regular basis. If series-produced components are required for production, then the purchase of a CNC machining centre is usually also worthwhile. Since high-quality CNC machining centres require high investments, the purchase should be carefully calculated. Before buying, it should be considered whether the functionality of a 3-axis machine is sufficient or whether - also with a view to the future - a machine with an additional 4th or 5th axis is better required.
