CNC machining (computer numerical control machining), is precision machining that's fully automated, ensuring exceptional accuracy and remarkable precision. CNC machining achieves levels of complexity beyond conventional precision machining, plus it’s cost-efficient, particularly for complex components and parts.
What do you need from CNC tooling?
- Precision (of course) — The ultimate measuring stick of every CNC machining project, precision requires more than just the right capabilities
- Reliable rigidity — A tool must maintain its shape, remain stable, and resist flexing or vibrating during cutting operations
- Solid durability — Getting long lifetime value out of a tool is a cost-control measure that affects the bottom line, making durability an important Key Performance Indicator
- Easy installation/adjustment — Being able to easily change out and adjust tooling isn’t just efficient, it makes life better for the CNC operator
Most CNC machine shops have been here: You win a project. You staff the right CNC operators. You receive the castings. You prepare a project setup cart. And then … an incomplete set of tools stops you before you get started.
