Precision CNC Machining or Computer Numerical Control Machining -- Features
• CNC utilizes G-Code instructions to operate the machine tool. These G-Code files are created by CAM software.
’ΔΆ During precision CNC machining, computer network cables are used between design and manufacturing equipment providing programmable precision when creating complex parts with curves or complicated 3-D structures.
• Consistency and quality is achieveable to precise specification.
’ΔΆ Precision CNC machining provides a reduced number of errors in part runs for original equipment manufacturers.
• CNC machines may be programed to perform many operations one after the other.
’ΔΆ Precision CNC machines can run over night without attention from an operator. Problem detection gives CNC machines the ability to call the operator's mobile phone if there is a problem.
Precision CNC Machining of Parts
• Lathe machine tools are used to fabricate original equipment manufactured precision metal component parts when the cutting tool removes metal, much as a wood lathe removes wood, to produce the finished screw machine product. But this process is controlled mechanically rather than manually.
• Milling is used in manufacturing comples shapes using a rotating cutter which moves about the spindle axis but remains stationary while the metal piece being cut moves creating the cutting action.
• Punch press operations drilling out holes in a metal part and grinding metal parts may also be controlled by CNC operations.
Precision CNC Machining of Parts for Original Equipment Manufacturers -- Benefits
• Ashley Ward uses 11 Swiss made Hydromat Rotary Transfer Machines capable of operating up to 16 stations and 27 CNC Lathes/Mills.
• Ashley Ward expertise lies not only in the precision CNC machining processes that we utilize, but also in the numerous in-house secondary operations that we perform, such as metal gear hobbing, centerless grinding services, spline rolling, broaching, Hydromat rotary transfer machining and induction heat treating services.
’ΔΆ Precision CNC machining of parts from Ashley Ward utilize robotic welding and sub-assembly services.
