CNC Machining Processes

1. Milling: Removes material using a rotating multi-edge tool. Suitable for machining planes, grooves, holes, gears, and various complex shapes.

2. Turning: Involves rotating the workpiece and using a single-edged tool to remove material. Mainly used for machining shafts, discs, and other rotational parts.

3. Drilling: Uses a drill bit to create circular holes in the workpiece, extendable to boring and tapping.

4. Grinding: Removes material using a high-speed rotating abrasive wheel, for processing high-precision surfaces on high-hardness materials.

5. Boring: Expands the diameter or improves the precision of an existing hole, suitable for high-precision holes.

6. Tapping: Creates internal threads in a hole using a rotating tap, suitable for manufacturing threaded connectors.

7. Wire EDM: Uses a charged thin metal wire to cut materials under an electric field, suitable for machining complex shapes and high-hardness materials.

8. EDM: Removes material through electrode discharge, suitable for machining complex shapes and high-hardness materials.

9. Laser Cutting: Melts and cuts materials using a high-energy laser beam, suitable for precise and complex cutting tasks.

10. Waterjet Cutting: Uses a high-pressure water stream and abrasive to cut materials, suitable for cutting various materials without creating a heat-affected zone.

11. Engraving: Uses precision tools to carve text, patterns, and other markings on the workpiece surface, commonly used for identification and decoration.

12. Heat Treatment: Involves heating and cooling processes to alter the physical and mechanical properties of materials, commonly used to improve material hardness and strength.

13. Surface Treatment: Includes painting, anodizing, and electroplating to improve the appearance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of the workpiece.
