CNC Milling Machines are available for both Horizontal and Vertical Milling. Both machines have similar tools and the ability to move in the same 3 directions.

Mold is one of the important tools for industrial production. There are many types of molds and materials. Among them, aluminum molds are very popular among enterprises because of their high precision, long service life, easy processing, and multiple recycling. Aluminum molds are commonly made of 2-series, 5-series, 6-series, and 7-series aluminum sheets. 6061 aluminum plate is one of the commonly used mold aluminum plates, which belongs to aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy and has good castability and corrosion resistance. And 6061 aluminum plate is widely used in the manufacture of high-end precision molds because of its excellent surface flatness and excellent performance.

The versatility of Milling machines allows them to be used in a variety of industries and for a variety of designs. The process is best suited as a finishing process to already machined objects, however can also create custom design objects from start to finish.

Once the CNC milling process has commenced, the cutting tools rotate at speeds of thousands of RPMs. The machine will generally perform one of the following actions to produce the finished object:

Computer Numerical Control or CNC is essentially a code representing instructions for the precise movement of machines to produce high precision items. The production stages are similar for all CNC Machining processes and include:

There are a number of different milling machines and their number of movements is dictated by the number of axis it has. Milling machines have between 2 to 5 axis and all are computer operated, no manual operation is required.

6061 precision ground aluminum sheet has consistent dimensions and a smooth surface finish. This special precision board can be used for almost the most common projects. Including but not limited to the manufacture of aircraft components, mold and fixture making, semiconductor manufacturing, machining of precision machinery and equipment, and general engineering applications.

Improvements in digital technology and CNC Milling Machining means the working process is much more effective and efficient, with a high level of accuracy. Some milling machines can achieve tolerances up to and greater than +/- 0.005.

Milling is the process of cutting and or drilling a piece of material such as metal. The machine uses a rotating tool and a milling cutter, which is held in a spindle and can vary in size. Larger tools will generally move slower and remove more material , whereas smaller tools will move faster however remove less material.
