CNC Machining Additional supporting technologies

Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machining is a digital manufacturing technology that generates high-precision parts with impressive physical properties straight from a CAD file. The CNC machining is mainly designed to make functional products and tools. However, the efficiency of the machining process can be enhanced if some extra technologies and accessories are used.

Here are some of the parts that you might need to add:

CAM or CAD Software

A conventional CNC machine can produce tools and products with slight variations. However, in the manufacturing of this kind, precision is crucial. To eliminate these small variations in CNC milling, CAD or CAM software can help. This software is installed on a computer to generate identical products and tools. You can get this software from Stoney CNC, which is delivered and installed ready for use. We align with Vectric and Fusion 360 as the preferred CAM solution with our CNC systems.

Full Screen Display - Intuitive HMI

The display screen or HMI (Human machine interface) provides the machine with the various specifications and setup screens needed, especially when dealing with the graphic simulation of the tools or any information related to the operation in general. A good quality screen helps a lot to empower the visualisation tools when engaging with the CAD CAM And CNC control technologies.

Rotary Table - or 4th axis

The rotary table enhances the efficiency of the CNC machine because it rotates the workpiece for precise machining. Moreover, milling processes are not always static; they tend to move depending on the designs that you wish to produce. A rotary table can also be called a 4th axis system whereby the 4th axis rotates the part or workpiece. This allows long narrow parts to be made much more efficiently.

Pallet Changer - full workpiece swap in swap out

Removing and placing a new workpiece to the CNC milling machine manually not only wastes your time but also exposes the person doing it to serious safety risks. To eliminate such risks, Stoney CNC can install a pallet changer for you that will remove and replace workpieces automatically to save your time and protect you and your technicians. We can supply paralell process systems that allows you to load workpiece’s onto one fixture while a second fixture is machining.

Spindle Coolant System

Since the CNC machine is a mechanical process relying on cutting tools to slice and cut the workpiece, it can generate a lot of heat during its operation. Overheating of any machine or process is not good news because it could affect the healthy operation of the machine and the tool workpiece interaction, and therefore will effect the production process, sometimes catastrophically. To minimise your losses, Stoney CNC can install a spindle coolant system for you to cool and lubricate your production process. Typically this is a FOGBUSTER system mounted to the spindle location so as to allow direct flow of air and spray to the cutting tool .

At Stoney CNC, you can get a wide range of CNC milling systems from entry-level machines to full production machines. Here, you will get impressive CNC machines that are stable, capable of delivering high-cutting performance in a wide range of applications. Moreover, the machines are built professionally to deliver high-quality standards.

If you are looking for high-quality CNC machining extra parts, Stoney CNC is the right place for you.
