CNC machining - our competences in brief
CNC milling
Our 3-axis and 5-axis CNC milling machines form the core of the department. Their high level of precision and flexibility allow us to handle complex jobs where the customers make heavy demands for tolerances, surface finish, etc.
Our primary production consists of prototypes and small series. Our machines are connected to MasterCam where all programs are made. The most recent investments have been made in automation, such as pallet exchanger, robot solutions and large tool hoppers. This allows us to run many more unmanned hours.
.
CNC turning
This department consists of 3 Gildemeister lathes with Heidenhein Plus IT control and 1 Mazak multitasking machine. Jobs can be moved fluently between the machines as they are all connected to MasterCam where all programs are made. This minimises the risk of errors and reduces setup times for new and repeat orders.
The 3 Gildemeister machines have rotating tools and one machine also has a Y-axis. Mazak Integrex has a full 5-axis head and a large tool hopper. The machines allow items up to Ø650mm in all materials.
.
Finishing of cast items
We have much experience in demanding CNC finishing of cast items in aluminium and magnesium. We mainly finish prototypes and small series. Our setup for finishing cast items has been optimised for this.
To ensure the best possible result, all of our precision machines are fitted with probes to allow probing of all cast items to find the best fit before initiating the CNC machining process.
Measuring and documentation
After CNC machining, we can offer measuring and documentation of the items. For this, we have a Wenzel LH87 Premium with a working area of 1500x800x700mm and others.
