CNC Machine

 

CNC machines are a manufacturing tool we rely on in nearly every industry today. These machines come with a series of tools that can be prefabricated, sold as a package, and used as a precision manufacturing tool.

CNC machining is most commonly used for metal materials and plastic parts manufacturing. Inside, a CNC machine includes several lasers, jets, grinders, drills, and routers that can be automated into a program that creates components for products and sometimes finished products.

CNC can also be integrated with non-cutting tools such as filament welders and electronic assembly tools. These tools can be customized to suit each client's needs and then programmed to fill the needs of a specific part or line or amended for additional work. 

 

How does a CNC Machine Work?

CNC machines in their prefabricated format are sold as a package with all the tools required for a company to make their product or product line. The machine can be assembled and set up with the tools, but the company often will be responsible for programming each operation in the CNC program.

The machine is programmed by picking out tools and then operating them along a 3d axis that can be defined within the program the machine runs. At a basic level, a CNC will pick out a tool using the program, move it to a point on an x,y, or z axis and then perform an operation with the material inside that axis. It could be drilling a hole, removing a section of material to cut out a form, or laser etching a serial number along a point on a piece placed on the work table. Programs in CNC machining can be amended as required to suit the needs of multiple projects.

 

A Modern Approach to Programming:

If you have older CNC machines at your company, you have likely gotten used to user interfaces that need advanced training or programming experience. Newer CNC machines from our company have support for CAD-based software, ensuring you can streamline the programming process. Operators can troubleshoot machine programs and easily import further and complete instructions faster. CNC machines of the past often used outdated programming tools, files, and languages that are not necessary today.

With an investment in our machines, you can enjoy having a modern and optimized process for setting up any CNC operation. It can reduce delivery time and ensure maximum flexibility when switching between jobs on machines. Investing in modern tools will keep your company competitive and help you improve your capabilities. We believe in outfitting our machines with the best software to ease setting up a new device on your shop floor and ensure you can get up and running faster.

A Greener Approach to Manufacturing:

CNC machining with a modern CNC machine is a quality choice for meeting environmental targets. Our CNC machines are designed to help you meet these ecological standards with efficient and sustainable manufacturing processes. Our machines run highly efficiently with designs that reduce power consumption and coolant use. The precision programming tools we have on board save more material and cutting tool wear, ensuring you can manufacture any product with less waste.

Our modern CNC machining approach and multiple operations on the same machine reduce raw material waste. It ensures you can produce components or completed products more efficiently than before.

We also design our machines with improved catch basins and tools that can offer maximum protection for operators while collecting waste materials that can be sold for scrap and reused to produce new products. Our machines run clean, ensuring fewer emissions than many older manufacturing tools. We install advanced filtration systems to remove particulates, improving the environment of your manufacturing facility and emissions produced by your company.

Our designers aim to allow our customers to make their company greener while improving efficiency with a modern CNC machining tool. Contact Yangsen to learn more about what our CNC machining resources can do to reduce your emissions. 

 

Assembling and Running CNC Machines From Our Team:

CNC machines will require shipping from their manufacturer, assembly, and configuration. The components are all produced off-site and then reassembled into a working CNC machine at the location where it will be working. The on-site engineers will be responsible for configuring the axis, performing maintenance, and ensuring the machine runs efficiently.

After the machine has been assembled and configured, engineers can create a series of instructions for the CNC machine to follow. These instructions can include parameters for changing tools, drilling, or cutting at various positions on the machine's axis table. M language and G code for operations will guide every operation of the device and ensure that the positioning and speed of all components remain safe for the type of material in the machine and prevent damage.

The programs for modern CNC are often completed with the help of CAD. Engineers can build a drawing of the component or completed part they want to assemble and then translate the operations to meet the element into a G code. The operations will translate the processes that need to be completed and the speed, selection, and positioning of each tool in the CNC machine to keep operators safe and prevent scrap.

The CNC program will need to be run in a test program to complete a prototype, and operators and engineers will often need to work in tandem to create more efficient programs that can reduce waste while improving speeds.

As the process gets refined, CNC machines can continue to produce many components or finished materials each day while reducing the time it takes to create them. Dividing up each operation into separate machines and operators would make manufacturing time on many components produced by these machines nonprofitable.

Multi-Axis CNC Machining Capabilities:

These types of machines are uprooting the industry. For businesses seeking to stay competitive and complete more operations on the same machine, this type of CNC machining can offer a significant advantage over traditional CNC or older-style, single-operation machines.

Modern CNC machines come with advanced programming capabilities, which can reduce the load on engineering and programmers, and quality assurance departments. These machines can operate with tens of tools and various operations throughout a program, manipulating workpieces with greater precision. Traditional CNC machines of the past would run on three axis, but today, we have machines that can operate on up to 5 axis with rotating work tables. The added flexibility, advanced programming, and the ability to change to multiple tools to complete operations ensure that less operator intervention is needed.

The primary benefit of this type of CNC machining is that you can offer improved flexibility for any product line. Where a product might have to go across multiple machines and operators before it is completed, it could be loaded into a modern multi-axis machine and have every operation completed apart from finishing and QA. This lowered setup time and run cost lowers emissions, reduces operator errors, and leads to a higher quality product you can offer your customer for cheaper. Multi-axis machines provide better surface finishes and the ability to meet higher tolerances than older machines, and that could open your company up to the ability to work with new clients, develop new products, and improve your accuracy for maximum cost savings.

We will help you advance your manufacturing goals and access these modern tools in CNC machining.

What Else Can a CNC Machine Do?

Modern CNC machines can do far more than standard cutout tasks on three axis. Modern CNC machines come with up to 5 axis of control, allowing cutters to operate with a 180degrees of movement or more. Robotic arms can carry advanced tools that go beyond simple cutting components too.

Cutout tools today include powered water jets and laser machines that offer support for etching, final finishing, and more. The added benefit of these tools is that there is no need to change out cutting components, and waste can often be minimized further. Laser and water jet machines improve environmental efficiency by reducing loads on motor and tool functions. The improved tool life and reduced energy load offer cost improvements to any customer with products that could benefit from these forms of tooling.

Modern computerized controls keep tighter tolerances with ongoing calculations and scanning. This can eliminate the need for advanced quality control departments or comprehensive checking on each part produced. As long as the material is loaded correctly, the machine will perform consistent scanning to recreate the final dimensions in CAD software, performing ongoing scans to determine when the adequate amount of material has been taken off. Modern CNC machines are more exact with tolerances than ever before and can eliminate the need for part-by-part touch point inspection.

 

The Importance of CNC Machining:

Modern CNC machining is elevating manufacturing in many industries. It simplifies many processes in methods of production and adds precision control to multiple operations in producing a component or finished product. CNC machines can control tools like lathes, drills, routers, water jets, and lasers with high precision, helping companies do more on the same equipment.

With a CNC machine, a company can handle more capabilities for a product and take on more complex work. Modern CNC machines can also put companies in line to produce faster with auto import from CAD-based programs and multiple operations on the same equipment.

CNC machining helps us retain more scarce resources by reducing material waste. Many raw components used in electronic production and aerospace can be expensive and need more money to find. Having a form of machining that reduces waste can lead to considerable cost savings and environmental improvements for any company willing to use CNC in their facility.

The adaptability of these machines is needed in all aspects of manufacturing. Setting up a mill or lathe to perform just one production function on a project can be time-consuming. A CNC machine can take instruction from CAD-based programming and be ready to run based on the set structure of its work table. Rather than setting up a machine to perform one operation at a time, the program can outline all the operations for the project that can take place on the same CNC machine and then execute them with one short setup time. Operators can work hands-off, preparing for the next program or performing cleanup/QA tasks on previous parts run through the CNC, rather than performing consistent setups for each new operation or carrying them out manually.

Rather than investing in multiple pieces of equipment for a company to offer its services, a CNC machine can often handle the load for prototyping and mass production when outfitted with the right fixturing and proven programs. CNC machining frees up shop floor space where multiple machines would be needed previously, and this can free up resources such as power, cooling components, staff, and more. A company can do more with fewer machines when they optimize with modern CNC machines.
