M-CNC have always invested in the latest technology and our CNC vertical machining centres are no exception. We have 3 axis and 5 axis CNC machining, and are also capable of 9 axis machining.
Our 3, 4 and 5 axis CNC machines include high performance spindles, Renishaw laser tools, part probes and thermal compensation. These machines have planned maintenance programs to minimise downtime, and we can put work onto another machine if needed. Our internal processes are carefully designed to ensure maximum capacity and superbly efficient production levels.
Placing your trust in M-CNC Engineering means every project benefits from….
We have multiple machines with simultaneous 5-axis capability, multiple ten pallet automatic part changers, and 120 tool capacity. This allows for one hit, lights out machining – perfect for larger volumes. We also cater for one-off and development parts, along with small volume production runs.
Our secure, Cyber Essentials Plus Certified network of vertical machining centres is supported by offline programming (CAD-CAM) using Hypermill, SolidWorks and Catia.
M-CNC have a skilled tooling engineer who manages the tooling for every job. We are at the forefront of tooling technology, guaranteeing our customers the most accurate, repeatable and cost-effective solutions to their manufacturing requirements.
We also have dedicated tooling storage and hold large volumes of tooling – so we always have a spare on hand. Dedicated jigs and fixture storage with job specific applications are kept in a modular vertical storage carousel.
Our production scheduler uses advanced scheduling software linked to our ERP system, enabling us to give our customers real-time updates on the progression of their job throughout the manufacturing process.
CNC milling is a type of CNC machining. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, meaning a computer controls the milling machine – allowing custom design and ensuring a highly precise finish.
CNC milling is a process where the cutting tool rotates in the spindle and cuts the material from the billet. It is a type of machining favoured in many industries for its consistency, accuracy, and scalability.
The process starts with a CAD drawing (computer-aided design), which is used to control and direct the outputs of the CNC milling machine. In general, the part stays clamped to the bed and the tool moves, with the multiple axis moving simultaneously.
The different types of axis are:
High quality and precision
CNC machining tools are designed to create complex 3D shapes with an unparalleled degree of accuracy. The computer-led design and manufacturing process negates the need for manual input. The automated process allows pinpoint precision for even the most complex shapes.
Versatility and uniformity
CNC milling machines are extremely versatile and can be used to machine a wide range of parts. Every single part is produced to this same level of accuracy, ensuring perfect uniformity across large volumes.
High production capabilities
Using CNC machine milling reduces the labour involved in production, and maximises the output. CNC machines are capable of precise, fast automation (depending on the complexity of the part being manufactured).
