Metal machining on CNC machines at New Standard is an automated manufacturing process in which software controls tool movements to precisely remove excess material from a workpiece. CNC machining enables the production of high-precision parts based on a digital model, ensuring repeatability, high processing speed, and the ability to manufacture complex shapes that cannot be achieved on manual machines. CNC equipment at New Standard operates according to a pre-programmed process, performing milling, turning, drilling, grinding, and other operations with minimal operator involvement.
CNC Metal Machining | Main Technological Operations
CNC machines are used to process workpieces made of low- and medium-carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and its alloys, copper, bronze, brass, titanium, and special alloys designed for extreme operating conditions.
Main Types of Machining
- Turning — manufacturing cylindrical and conical parts, as well as cutting threads (the workpiece rotates while the cutting tool removes material).
- Milling — creation of complex contours and surfaces using face, end, or form milling cutters.
- Grinding — achieving the required dimensional accuracy, surface smoothness or roughness, and removing surface defects.
- Drilling and reaming — forming holes of a specified diameter and quality.
- Laser cutting and engraving — high-precision cutting, marking, and application of text or images on metal surfaces.
- Bending and stamping — shaping sheet metal under pressure to achieve the required form.
- Broaching and slotting — manufacturing keyways, splines, and internal and external profiles.
- Electrical discharge machining (EDM) — removing metal by electrical discharges to obtain highly accurate and complex shapes.
- Finishing operations — anodizing, polishing, application of protective coatings, and other surface treatments.
Workflow: CNC Metal Machining
- Requirement definition — the customer provides drawings, layouts, or models; our specialists prepare the technical specification and approve it with the client.
- Design — engineers develop a 3D model of the part using CAD systems.
- CNC programming — the completed 3D model is converted into a control program for CNC machines.
- Production setup — the operator installs the workpiece and tools and performs equipment setup.
- Machining — the CNC machine runs the program in automatic mode, producing the part in accordance with the approved technical specification.
- Finishing — required finishing and final machining operations are carried out.
- Quality control — inspection of geometry, dimensions, and technical parameters of the product.
- Shipping — delivery of finished parts to the customer via any convenient courier service within Ukraine.
