Machining?
Machining is a production method used in the processing of metal and other materials. This method is generally used for shaping and machining metal parts and produces metal chips. Machining includes various sub-processes and generally covers operations such as turning, milling, drilling, grinding.
The advantages of machining include high precision, excellent surface quality, wide material options and the ability to achieve large production quantities. However, the disadvantages of this method are can include sometimes long processing times, high costs and complexity. Machining is used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, energy, defence It is frequently preferred in sectors such as industry. With technological developments, CNC (Computerised Numerical Control), it has become possible to achieve higher precision and efficiency through the use of machines.
Turning:
The turning process involves turning a material on a lathe on a rotating spindle, allowing a cutting tool to form a shape on the material. This method is generally used to produce cylindrical parts.
Milling:
Milling involves the movement of a rotating cutting tool on a workbench fixed on a material to create the desired shape. This method is widely used to produce flat surfaces, grooves and complex shapes.
Drilling:
Drilling is used to make holes in the material. In drilling, holes are drilled into the material, usually using a rotating drill bit.
Grinding:
Grinding is used to smooth, polish or shape the surface of material within a certain tolerance. The grinding process often plays an important role in the production of precision parts and the improvement of surface quality.
