The CNC milling machines are tools that are mostly used for machining work. There are several uses for milling machines. They operate by chip removal through the movement of a rotating tool with several cutting edges, called a milling cutter. Depending on the quality of the machine and the milling cutters, the result will be better or worse, in terms of precision or burr. of burrs.
This milling process can be used to machine a wide range of materials, which can be used in a wide variety of sectors. Below we will give you a summary of all the uses of a CNC milling machine, or at least the ones we most frequently come across at Pérez Camps.
Some of the sectors that use CNC milling machines are listed below. In brackets, some of the customers who have purchased our milling machines and use them for all kinds of purposes.
As you can see, it is not only carpentry or sign making that are the uses of a milling machine, as you might think at first. Sectors such as aeronautics or even education (with digital manufacturing) also require CNC milling machines.
For CNC prototyping (machining of industrial/thermoplastic parts such as master models and resin moulds) these materials are often milled:
On the other hand, for CNC cutting, e.g. of boards or panels, these materials are often used:
Materials such as aluminium, which has great versatility, may seem easy to mill with any sharp, polished tool that rotates at high speed. However, to achieve professional, quality finish a CNC router and the ideal tools.
Strive for perfection through your milling machine's uses and your customers will reward you with maximum loyalty and word-of-mouth recommendations - a job well done always pays off!
