Machining company: Types of machining
In a machining company, machining, is the process of manufacturing parts by removing material. This is the task we entrust to Curiel Mechanics. In our company of machining and precision machining in the province of Barcelona, we dedicate our work to manufacture and construct for our clients quality products of first level for purposes and fields very different from society. Useful resources to go on vacation, making that dreamed Mediterranean cruise aboard an imposing ship, or know the results of the last blood analysis we did. Such simple facts in which we do not even give importance, have part of its origin in the company of machining that manufactures the nautical valve that constitutes part of the technical interior of any ship, or medical laboratory devices to perform the precise tasks of analysis.
In our business modus operandi, in addition to the construction of all these elements, is also integrated the philosophy of advice and technical assistance to support the doubts and problems that may arise in the yes of our public. Therefore, and as a form of communication, we want to talk today in our Blog, about what types of machining processes there are and give some feature about them. An instructive base, with useful information so you can know a little more about the world of machining and precision assembly, which requires these techniques for their work effectiveness.
In a machining company, there are, as in many other fields, different methods to achieve this. By using the right machinery, more conventional or the latest and latest CNC machined tools, you can get to do incredible «wonders». All of them, following three systems of execution:
- machining without chip removal
All metal parts, except castings, are at some point in their manufacture subjected to at least one metal forming operation (manufacturing processes in which the deformation is used to change the shape of the metal parts).
- machining with chip removal
As the name indicates, in machining with chip removal, the material is torn or cut with the tool giving rise to these useless waste. In this operational methodology, thinning processes are given, the first step in rapidly eliminating large amounts of material, but with little precision; And finishing, final step for the removal of the rest of the material with great precision to finish the manufacture of the piece.
In this type of machining are the majority of productions on a large scale. For some time, the computerization applied to industrial automation has made the simplest and most manual processes have evolved into cnc machining (Computer Numerical Control). Thus, we speak of machines of great versatility and highly productive, that allow to obtain complex elements finished, with a millimetric precision.
- Abrasion machining
The method of machining by abrasion is based on the removal of material by wearing the part. In this way, particles of material are dislodged, most of the time, incandescent. This process is performed by the tool par excellence of this type of machining: the grinding wheel. A way to remove material by «scratching» the surface of the piece. In favor of this technique, we could say that it requires less force to remove the material and its accuracy and surface finish are guaranteed, but on the contrary, the estimated time in production to be efficient is long.
All methods are useful according to the function they have to perform. Each machining company, according to its task, must determine what are, or will be, the methodologies to be used in the manufacture of its parts.
