Machining

Machining refers to the process of precisely removing material from a workpiece to obtain the desired shape, size, and surface finish.Machining can be mainly divided into two categories: manual machining and numerical control (NC) machining. Manual machining is the method of processing various materials by mechanical workers manually operating mechanical equipment such as milling machines, lathes, drilling machines, and sawing machines, which is suitable for small - batch and simple parts production. NC machining is when mechanical workers use NC equipment for processing, including machining centers, turning centers, electrical discharge wire - cutting equipment, thread cutting machines, etc. Most machining workshops adopt NC machining technology. Through programming, the position coordinates (X, Y, Z) of the workpiece in the Cartesian coordinate system are converted into program language, and the CNC controller of the NC machine tool controls the axes of the NC machine tool by identifying and interpreting the program language, automatically removing material as required to obtain a finished workpiece.The machining process includes five - axis machining, ceramic machining, chemical NC machining, electrical discharge machining, electrical discharge drilling, NC titanium processing, emergency construction/on - site processing, casting processing, grinding, micro - machining, plastic processing, turning, thread processing, Swiss turning, etc. Machining is one of the most important manufacturing processes, which is crucial for producing parts with high precision and complex shapes.
