CNC Machining: Your Guide to Understanding the Types

November 4, 2022 by Mark Allinson

CNC machining is an important process in the manufacturing industry that involves using computers to control automated cutting and milling machines, which carve out parts from large blocks of raw materials like metal, wood, and plastic.

In this article, we’ll discuss CNC precision machining, how it works, and its advantages over other machining methods, such as hand or machine tools. We’ll also cover some advanced uses of CNC machines that aren’t always obvious to first-time users.

Let’s get started. [Read more…] about CNC Machining: Your Guide to Understanding the Types

How to Get CNC Manufacturing Process Right in Your Shop

July 21, 2022 by David Edwards

When talking about CNC manufacturing process, you must understand that a manufacturing process consists of various operations performed sequentially, adding value to the final product.

Therefore, a typical CNC workshop involves more than one machine performing different operations.

Unlike traditional machines that required a separate operator to handle the operation, CNC machines provide an automated operation, thereby eliminating the need for extra hands in your shop. [Read more…] about How to Get CNC Manufacturing Process Right in Your Shop

Effects of CNC Machining on Surface Roughness in Fused Deposition Modelling Products

July 15, 2022 by Mai Tao

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is a 3D printing technology that uses melted plastic filament to build up objects layer by layer. FDM parts are typically made from thermoplastic materials such as ABS, PLA, or PC.

Once the object is printed, it can be finished using various methods, such as sanding, painting, or machining. CNC machining is one of the most common ways to finish an FDM part.

It involves using computer-controlled cutting tools to remove material from the surface of the object until it reaches the desired shape and size. [Read more…] about Effects of CNC Machining on Surface Roughness in Fused Deposition Modelling Products

Applied Automation Technologies wins software contract with leading aircraft manufacturer

January 26, 2022 by Mark Allinson

Applied Automation Technologies has secured what it describes as “a major software contract” with a leading North American aircraft manufacturer.

The agreement involves the integration of AAT’s CAPPSNC software to directly interface with controllers on large CNC machines to provide dimensional metrology data for CMM reports, adaptive work offsets, and adaptive tool offsets for 3-5 axis closed-loop manufacturing.

Ray Karadayi, president and CEO of Applied Automation Technologies, says: “This CAPPSNC software is truly Factory 4.0 smart manufacturing technology because it is using metrology information throughout the manufacturing process for adaptive control.” [Read more…] about Applied Automation Technologies wins software contract with leading aircraft manufacturer

Why is CNC Machining Essential to the Robotics Industry?

January 18, 2022 by Mark Allinson

There is an increasing need for robots in all industrial areas. Thanks to technological advancements, robots are not ideas that exist only in movies.

These days, you can find robots everywhere, from airports to factories. Many manufacturing companies use robots due to their efficacy and speed in performing complex tasks.

Moreover, a robot will cost you less than how much you would pay for manual labor. All you need to do is provide effective servicing that will ensure the structure and functioning of your robot stays operational. [Read more…] about Why is CNC Machining Essential to the Robotics Industry?

The Importance of Plastic Machining – How Impactful the Process is

June 21, 2021 by Mai Tao

One of the principal credits of plastics materials is their capacity to be shaped into a completed segment with no requirement for resulting work to be done.

Convoluted shapes, openings and undercut highlights can be formed into the segment utilizing tooling and shaping methods. Anyway this includes some significant downfalls of tooling cost.

Trim apparatuses and shaping hardware utilized in the different plastic embellishment measures are constantly hand made oddball manifestations. They can frequently require many months to fabricate with a resultantly significant expense. [Read more…] about The Importance of Plastic Machining – How Impactful the Process is
