Precision Metal Works provides CNC Machining services to companies across the nation. We have been CNC Machining since 1986.
CNC Machining is a process that involves the use of computers to control machine tools. Tools include lathes, mills, routers and grinders. It may look like a normal PC controls the machines, but the computer's unique software and control console is what's really used in CNC machining.
CNC machining is used in manufacturing both metal and plastic parts.
A CAD drawing is created, and then a code is created that the CNC machine will understand. The program is loaded and an operator runs a test of the program to ensure there are no problems.
This is an important step because any mistake with speed and tool position could result in an unusable part or a damaged machine.
There are many advantages to using CNC Machining. The process is more precise than manual machining, and can be repeated in the same manner over and over.
Because of the precision possible with CNC Machining, this process can produce complex shapes. CNC Machining is used in the production of many complex three-dimensional shapes.
It is because of these qualities that CNC Machining is used in jobs that need a high level of precision or very repetitive tasks.
