What Is CNC Milling?

CNC milling requires specialised machinery as not all CNC machines have the capability to process and cut metals in this way. Unlike cheaper methods such as laser or plasma cutters, CNC milling can produce very high-quality results and is ideal for creating fine details and complex shapes.

The CNC Milling Process

During milling, the product stays stationary while the spindle moves, allowing it to shape the finished product. This is one of the most commonly-used processing technologies at Weimi Hardware and we have a total of 72 CNC milling machines, able to produce parts up to 850x500mm in size. Our machines include vertical, horizontal, and gantry milling machines, allowing us to produce hardware for a number of industries, including the automotive, construction, and medical industries.

Depending on the milling method, the cutter can produce a variety of results including shapes with flat surfaces, grooves, spiral designs, and lots more! Due to the high cutting speeds, we are also able to increase productivity whilst maintaining accuracy, consistency, and the high-quality results our clients always receive from us. The automatic tool change function of the CNC milling machines can also reduce positioning errors as it minimises the need to re-clamp the products during processing.

Five-Axis Milling

As precision machining is becoming more common, requirements and specifications for work are becoming increasingly demanding! This is why our CNC machines have as many as four or five axis (instead of the standard three) to improve the quality of our work as well as enable us to complete complex designs in less time. A five-axis milling machine is able to co-ordinate up to five simultaneous processes - dividing the workload on larger projects and enabling us to work on curved or irregularly-shaped surfaces at the same time as horizontal, smooth surfaces.
