At Advance Machining & Gear, we are experts, offering contract CNC Machining and Production CNC Machining using
CNC Lathes and CNC Mills. So what does “CNC” machining mean, and what does it
mean for our customers?
CNC stands for “Computer Numerical Control,” a process where a computer
“controller” reads code commands to automate machine tools.
The introduction of CNC machines radically changed the manufacturing industry
because with a CNC machine, curves are as easy to cut as straight lines, complex
3D structures are relatively easy to produce, and the number of machining steps
that require human action is dramatically reduced. Because of these changes, the
end product has considerable improvements in the consistency and quality of the
parts machined. In addition, not only does CNC machining automation reduce the
frequency of errors, but it also provides the CNC machinist with time to perform
additional tasks, allows for more flexibility in the way parts are held in the
machining process, and lessens the time required to change the machine to
produce different components.
CNC machining is used in a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals,
food & beverage, heavy equipment, printing, marine, prosthetics, material
handling, robotics, packaging, specialty equipment, etc. In many cases, CNC
machining has dropped cycle times by over 90 percent compared to conventional
machining.
We handle quantities from 50 to 50,000. Our CNC lathes
are capable of machining parts up to 24” in diameter, and because of the
efficiencies of our high production CNC lathes, our lead times in turning
are typically short.
Most of our CNC mills do full 4-axis milling, which is our most requested
service. If your part is smaller than a golf cart, we can machine it!
Our staff of CNC machinists have extensive years of training in CNC machining.
