Computer Controlled Milling Eliminates Human Error

Copyright (c) 2010 Nadine DavisManagement experts now agree that most employees do their best to perform their job well. Apart from the rare person who has a grudge against everyone, employees don't deliberately set out to do poor standard work. However, because humans are just that - human - mistakes will always happen. For Precision Machining Townsville companies, mistakes are costly as they cause production delays, damage to equipment and safety problems.The development of CNC engineering has revolutionised the industry by using computer technology to control the machining process, and in so doing, eliminate the human error factor in the process. CNC milling is now an exact science, and unless there is some error in the actual computer program, the operator can be assured that once the machine is engaged, the end product will be a quality one.For those whose knowledge of the CNC milling process is limited the following is some additional information about what it brings to the engineering industry:> As already mentioned, the cutting process is computer-controlled, thus eliminating much of the human error that is inevitable with the standard milling process.> The ability to perform a large number of complex cutting tasks such as slot cutting, rebating, planning and keyway cutting.> The option to use two different types of milling centres - a vertical centre and horizontal centre. As the name implies, the difference is that the cutting tool can be mounted either vertically or horizontally.> As the horizontal machine centre has a rotary table on the gears, enabling 15 degree deviation for shallow angles, it is more versatile than the vertical machine centre.> With the advent of CNC vertical milling, many of the tasks which were impossible to perform with standard vertical milling can now be done by computer control, so this is still a very productive centre.> The CNC milling process is very effective for creating complex shapes from thick blocks of metal or plastic, and is especially effective for short production runs of this type of work.Because the CNC milling process allows the cutting tool to remove material using the sides of the tool as well as the end, a wide variety of shapes and geometrics can be utilised, and the amount of material the process can remove quickly makes CNC milling very cost effective.The precision accuracy of CNC milling engenders confidence in the customer that the component or product ordered will be delivered on time and to specification. Once very expensive, the dramatic drop in the cost of computers and software has brought CNC milling within the reach of most engineering workshops. This segment of 5 Axis Machining technology has removed human error from the equation, to produce consistent quality products and on-time delivery to satisfied clients.
