CNC Machining is a
manufacturing process in
which pre-programmed
computer software dictates the
movement of factory tools and
machinery.
Plasma Cutters
In a plasma cutter, a plasma torch cuts the material. The process is foremost
applied to metal materials but can also be employed on other surfaces. In order
to produce the speed and heat necessary to cut metal, plasma is generated
through a combination of compressed-air gas and electrical arcs.
Electric Discharge Machines
Electric-discharge machining (EDM) — alternately referred to as die sinking
and spark machining — is a process that molds workpieces into particular
shapes with electrical sparks. With EDM, current discharges occur between two
electrodes, and this removes sections of a given workpiece.
Water Jet Cutters
In CNC machining, water jets are tools that cut hard materials, such as granite
and metal, with high-pressure applications of water. In some cases, the water is
mixed with sand or some other strong abrasive substance. Companies often
shape factory machine parts through this process.
Water jets are employed as a cooler alternative for materials that are unable to
bear the heat-intensive processes of other CNC machines. Due to their cooler
nature, several sectors like the aerospace and mining industries rely on water
jets, where they use them for carving and cutting, among other functions.
Companies also use water jet cutters for applications requiring very intricate
cuts in material, as the lack of heat prevents any change in the material’s
intrinsic properties that may result from metal on metal cutting.
