CNC Machining

CNC Turning and Milling

Milling and turning are two important operations within CNC machining. They support machining operations to ensure the construction of components with precise specifications, and with a certain type of internal or external surface. Both CNC milling and turning have sub-operations that allows for the creation of different industrial components. RPM Manufacturing meets the component requirements of industrial customers by providing end-to-end CNC turning and milling services.

RPM’s CNC machining plays a crucial role in manufacturing precision components for various industries. Let’s delve into the specifics of CNC milling and turning services:

CNC Milling Services
Milling is a fundamental CNC machining process that involves using a rotating cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece. Unlike drilling, which is primarily used for creating holes, milling allows for lateral material removal. Here are some key points about CNC milling:

1. Types of Milling Tools:
   • Axial Milling: In axial milling, the cutting tool has teeth on the tip of the cutting head and removes material along the workpiece’s axis.
   • Lateral Milling: In lateral milling, the teeth are perpendicular to the circular cutting head, allowing material removal in different directions.
2. Equipment and Capabilities:
   • RPM Manufacturing utilizes state-of-the-art machinery, including 5-axis milling equipment and live tooling options.
   • Live tooling enables multiple operations without changing tools, reducing production time.
   • CNC milling ensures precision components with excellent surface finishes.
3. Materials

CNC Turning Services
CNC turning is ideal for creating cylindrical parts, such as shafts. Here’s how it works:

1. Process:
   • The metal part rotates while the cutting tool moves axially.
   • The automated system controls the cutting tool, shaping the workpiece by removing bits of swarf (metal chips).
2. Operations:
   • CNC turning can perform turning, boring, threading, and other operations.
   • Skilled machinists use CNC lathes to achieve precise results.
3. Capabilities:
   • Maximum Length: Up to 3845 mm
   • Maximum Diameter: Up to 950 mm
4. Materials:
   • RPM offers a wide range of materials, including aluminum, brass, steel, and more.

Benefits of CNC Milling and Turning:

1. Cost Savings:
   • Automation reduces labor costs.
   • Efficient production leads to cost-effective solutions.
2. Quality and Compliance:
   • Adherence to ISO, RoHS, ASME, ANSI, and Mil-Spec standards.
   • Precision machining ensures consistent quality.
3. Time Efficiency:
   • Complex components can be manufactured quickly.
   • Live tooling minimizes downtime during operations.
4. Exact Specifications:
   • CNC turning machines accommodate various tools, meeting customer requirements1.
     Whether you need intricate parts or straightforward components, CNC milling and turning services provide the precision and efficiency required for industrial applications.
