Types of cnc machining centers

In any workshop or company of cnc machining that is valued, but we are accustomed to imagine the atmosphere that is in it, basically we will find before a picturesque scene full of machines of cnc machining, to each one bigger, that work their pieces, according to The programming they have received. That, or if it is classic machines, not the most modern by numerical computation; The typical milling machine or manual lathe, with the operator who is responsible for executing the appropriate procedure.

The truth is that these so-called cnc machining centers have been the result of the logical evolution of the old machine tools (lathe, milling, drilling...) in a context in which demands on productivity and precision have taken over, and where the speed and saving of time, without the necessity of having to leave the task in the hands of workers, by the incorporation of the electronics; Have made these cnc machining centers the kings of precision machining companies.

Many unknowns of the subject can appreciate only cubicles with large appliances that are performing a certain task. So today in this post on types of cnc machining centers, in our Blog of the company Curiel Mechanics Barcelona, ​​​​we talk about it, the two typologies that exist of cnc machining machines, according to the way in which the piece works.

TO cnc machining center is primarily a machine operated with the help of an external power source, based on a computer-controlled automation system, capable of modifying the shape of the material, or part, to be machined, by starting small portions or chips thereof.

There are two types of machines. In the first one, the piece, or material to be worked, is fixed, attached and still to the machine, where it is the tool that moves and does the work of shaping the piece. This type of cnc machining Centers are very suitable for the work of square, or rectangular shape pieces.

On the other hand, we find the machine that does the same job, but reversing the functions. In this case, it is the part that rotates, while the tool remains fixed. This change of positions allows to mechanize other types of pieces and materials with which we want to work the forms, rather, rounded.

Being able to enjoy a variety of machines that perform the different functions of the already conventional milling machine, lathe and others, controlled by the numerical control offered by these cnc machining centers, is and must be a must for all precision machining companies. Only with the traditional machine tools, it is not possible to carry forward a company, that must be next to the avant-garde to not stop to compete. In addition to the advantages offered by these: faster, which influences the productivity of the same, Precision and flexibility, the multiplicity that allows us to work different shapes, sizes, etc., all under the control of these computers, is simply indisputable.

Having these machines that give plurality, and option, to work the materials with precision, allows companies of cnc machining, to elaborate a work respected by all. Without the work that is done in these workshops and with the help of the workers who know how to make them work, many of the daily processes that we perform, such as adjusting the belt buckle, or painting our lips, would not be possible.

The machining sector continues in complete evolution to continue improving the quality and precision of the work that it carries out today. At the moment it is necessary to take into account these centers of cnc machining, in a safe future it will be much more the plurality of machines to take into account and we will have to continue controlling that evolution to understand how the precision mechanics of the moment work.
