Machining

Machining refers to all cutting processes like turning, milling, and drilling. This Lexicon area helps buyers understand how these techniques work, where they're best applied, and how to evaluate technical offers more effectively.

• Component assembly

  The concept of assembly assembly refers to the professional assembly of individual assemblies or components into a finished product. The assembly assembly is often carried out in industry on optimized assembly lines in order to realize time and cost advantages. The assembly is a very wide-ranging term that is used across the industry for a variety of assembly steps. The is applied both in the small and large series, depending on the complexity of the modules. The positioning of the assembly assembly in the production process is very flexible. The assembly can be used as an earlier intermediate step or can also represent the last step for the finished end product. In industry, assembly assembly is often carried out in wage production to rely on the expertise of specialized assembly experts.

• CNC turning

  For CNC it is an automated for the production of rotationally symmetrical components. The process offers far-reaching advantages over conventional production on a rotary bench and is predominantly used in the metal processing industry. CNC lathe is characterized by a high degree of automation and convinces above all by a high repeatability as well as the possibility to efficiently manufacture even complex rotationally symmetrical geometries. The range of applications of CNC lathes is diverse and ranges from the production of CNC lathes for the automotive industry and machine and plant construction to the production of small parts for medical technology and electrical engineering. Both small and medium series and large series can be manufactured economically by CNC machining.

• CNC milling

  The CNC milling is one of the cutting and is based on the use of automated CNC machine tools that produce workpieces with high precision using modern control technology. Milling with CNC machine tools is nowadays used primarily in the metal processing industry and allows users to manufacture inexpensive workpieces with the highest demands of accuracy and complexity. CNC milling machines are able to realize cutting speeds of up to 10,000 revolutions per minute and thereby achieve economic advantages in particular in series production. The CNC milling is not limited to metal processing, but is also used in plastic and wood processing.

• Turning

  The turning is one of the most important cutting methods and is used to manufacture cylindrical components. A single-edged tool (e.g. a rotary chisel made of high-speed steel) is guided to a rotating component in order to remove successive chips and to achieve the desired geometric shape.

• Manufacturing process

  All processes for the production of geometrically determined bodies with predetermined technical properties and dimensions are referred to as manufacturing processes. In addition, material-changing methods such as hardening or soft annealing also belong to the manufacturing processes. Under the preamble of manufacturing methods, the individual methods are divided into six main groups according to their common features. These are described in more detail in DIN 8580 and categorized in subgroups and process variants. Manufacturing processes serve both for the production of semifinished products for further processing and for the production of final products.

• Milling

  Milling refers to a cutting which is used for manufacturing components with a specific geometric contour. Thanks to its high efficiency, productivity and precision, milling is particularly popular in metal-processing production technology. The milling can be used both for the processing of planar surfaces and for the production of complex, three-dimensional contours. A milling tool with geometrically determined cutting edges is used and, during the milling process, material is removed from a workpiece by a rotating circular movement. Milling can now be carried out both manually and using state-of-the-art CNC machine tools with a high degree of automation.
