CNC Milling Process Overview #
CNC milling is a subtractive manufacturing process that removes material from solid blocks using rotating cutting tools. Unlike traditional methods, CNC machines follow precise, pre-programmed toolpaths to create complex shapes with tight tolerances—ideal for manufacturing CNC billet parts.
The Milling Process #
Using custom NC code, tools move at high speed into a clamped workpiece, ensuring repeatability and precision. At DMS, we utilize Haas 3-axis and 5-axis milling machines to handle everything from simple shapes to complex multi-surface parts.
Why Choose DMS CNC Milling? #
- Minimizing machining and setup time
- Maximizing dimensional accuracy
- Increasing production efficiency for high-volume orders
Our approach ensures faster turnaround, better part quality, and lower production costs, whether for prototyping or full-scale production.
5-Axis CNC Machining: Flexibility and Precision #
Our DMG MORI 5-axis CNC machines combine 3 linear axes (X, Y, Z) with 2 rotary axes, offering unmatched flexibility and precision. This configuration allows for machining of complex, intricate parts with greater accuracy in a single setup, reducing repositioning time and improving part quality.
How 5-Axis CNC Machines Work #
By utilizing rotary axes in conjunction with linear axes, 5-axis machines access every surface of the workpiece for efficient, precise machining. This eliminates the need for multiple setups, increasing throughput and reducing errors.
Types of 5-Axis Machining #
- Continuous 5-Axis: Simultaneous movement of all axes, ideal for complex geometries with tight tolerances.
- Indexed 5-Axis: Rotary axes are used step-by-step for simpler shapes, reducing complexity.
Key Advantages #
- Reduced setup time: Machine multiple sides in one go
- Improved accuracy: Fewer handling errors and better tool access
- Higher efficiency: Faster cycle times for high-precision parts
5-axis technology is widely used in industries like aerospace, medical devices, and automotive for its precision, reliability, and efficiency in producing high-quality, repeatable parts.
