CNC machining processes utilize computer-controlled machine tools to remove excess material from blanks and workpieces to produce parts with tight tolerancing. CNC milling uses rotating cutting tools that travel along various axis to mill or cut away materials from the workpiece. This process offers a wide range of possibilities for shaping and detailing a part, including changing the geometry and dimensions of the part, adding slots and fine details, including drilling, tapping, boring, and cutting holes of all types. Because all CNC processes use instructions derived from the original design file, the machines can reliably create small or large production runs of virtually identical parts. 

Precision CNC Milling Services From SMI

CNC milling is a popular option and SMI can work in a variety of mediums, including billet, extrusions, forgings, and castings – some of which start at near net shape that reduce machining time and material waste.

SMI can utilize a wide range of materials in our CNC milling services. Options include various metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, steel and stainless steels, as well as different plastics, including ABS, Delrin, nylon, and UHMW. Our precision milling capabilities include these techniques:

  •     Boring
  •     Countersinking
  •     Decking
  •     Drilling
  •     Pocketing
  •     Profiling
  •     Reaming
  •     Slotting
  •     Tapping
  •     Thread Milling
  •     And more

In our machine shop, we use many different advanced technologies to achieve finished products. We utilize CNC controls and 4th-axis CNC machines, indexers, pallet changers, and vacuum work holding fixtures, among others. Our team of engineering and production specialists has the experience and the expertise to create high-quality machined parts with milled features.

Precision CNC Turning Services

While CNC milling processes use a rotating cutting tool on a fixed workpiece which moves is moved along multiple axes, precision CNC turning processes rotate the workpiece around the axis of a spindle and move a turret of stationary cutting tools (non-rotating) across multiple axes to produce various shapes or features in the final product. CNC turning is a cost-effective and fast solution for creating high-volume productions of complex parts with intricate geometries. This process also follows instructions derived from the product’s design file to control the movement of both the tools and the workpiece, producing a highly accurate product that meets all product specifications within tight tolerances.

Precision CNC Turning Services From SMI

We offer an extensive array of CNC turning processes in our machining shop. We use state-of-the-art machine tools with integrated CAM programming systems, automated parts catchers, bar feeders, and CNC controls so the production run is automated for increased precision and speed. Available CNC turning techniques include:

  •     CNC boring
  •     CNC drilling
  •     Contouring
  •     Cutting and parting
  •     Facing
  •     Forming
  •     Grooving
  •     Knurling
  •     Straight turning
  •     Tapering
  •     Threading (internal and external options)

These techniques are utilized on a wide range of metals and plastics. Our production staff is experienced with creating aluminum, bronze, brass, copper, steel and stainless steel parts, as well as components made from various metal alloys and plastic polymers.
