A- General
What is a CNC milling machine? A CNC milling machine is an automated machine tool
used to cut, engrave, and shape parts from various materials such as wood, metal, and plastic.
It works by using digital controls to control the position and movement of the cutting tool.
They can move according to the characteristics from 03 to 06 axes.
How a CNC milling machine works: A CNC milling machine uses computer-aided design
(CAD) software to create 3D models of the workpieces. These models are then converted into
digital code instructions (G-code) which are sent to the milling machine for execution.
Advantages and Applications of 3-Axis CNC Milling Machine: The main advantages of
CNC milling machines include accuracy, repeatability, and the ability to produce complex
parts with high efficiency. They are widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive,
mold making, and the medical industry.
Essential Components of a CNC Milling Machine: The main components of a CNC milling
machine include the work table, travel axes, cutting head, cooling system, and control unit.
Each component plays a crucial role in the overall operation of the machine.
Different types of milling machine:
We can classify milling machines as horizontal milling machines, vertical milling machines,
special milling machines, automatic milling machines and universal milling machines. Let's
take a look at the different types one by one:
- Horizontal milling machines
They are so called because the axis of the spindle is horizontal. The tool holder, placed under
the spindle, is equipped with a transverse and vertical feeding movement. Often, in horizontal
milling machines, all movements are controlled by a single electric motor, by means of a
complex transmission system.
- Vertical milling machines
These milling machines, on the other hand, have a spindle positioned vertically. The tool
holder is equipped with a feed movement and moves on two perpendicular slides.
