CNC
Milling for High-Speed Machining at Deerfield Machine
Parts
Deerfield Machine Parts (DMP), a leading job shop in New Jersey, utilizes Computer
Numerical Control (CNC) to manufacture parts that precisely match customer
specifications as well as assembly or subsystem requirements. As a contract
machining company, DMP understands the necessity of accuracy as well as speed
for maintaining an edge in today's market. CNC milling reduces the number of
manual steps and simplifies the process of creating complex curves and 3D structures
for precision and custom machined parts. Investing in CNC Milling has enabled
DMP to perform production manufacturing for high-volume jobs as well as smaller
runs at a competitive price and high quality.
What Does CNC Milling do for
Production Manufacturing?
State-of-the-art CNC milling machines
perform complex precision machining operations through
relatively simple processes that include slot cutting,
drilling, threading, milling, and more. With CNC
machining, DMP has dramatically decreased the frequency
of manual errors as well as the time required to
alter a machine to produce specific parts. DMP's
commitment to technology results in shorter runs
and faster turnaround as well as greater flexibility
in how a part is positioned during the machining
process. Today, CNC milling operators use files created
by CAM software, which allows assembly to run directly
from design to manufacturing. The result is consistency
in dimension, shape, and size for the entire job,
regardless of volume.
How does CNC Milling Work?
As a milling technique, CNC functions
via a design that is specified on a computer with
CAD tools. This technique uses a computer program
written in a notation called G-code. During CNC milling,
the computer translates the design into instructions
on how the drill needs to move to create desired
shape. The drill moves up and down or can tilt at
an angle, while the table typically moves the part
laterally.
The language of computer numerical
control specifies the movements that the drill and
table must make. Because CNC technology utilizes
advanced high performance software programs, a greater
degree of accuracy is achieved. High spindle speed
serves two advantages: First, CNC milling provides
shorter production times due to fast digital servo
control and high spindle speeds as well as optimum
tools and accessories. Second, through a precision
drive system and high frequency spindle speeds, these
centers are ideal for high-speed machining.
With CNC automation, Deerfield Machine
Parts is capable of producing both large and small
volumes of high-quality CNC milled parts for customers
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware.
CNC technology has allowed DMP to produce parts for
industries that include automotive, agriculture,
and government. We are constantly evaluating the
latest technology and purchasing the best equipment
to keep our production processes as up-to-date as
possible. |
