Facing on a milling machine is the process of cutting a flat surface perpendicular to the axes of the milling cutter. This process removes the material by rotating the facing tool in the counterclockwise direction as the table feeds the work piece across the cutter. Face milling can be achieved with an end mill, but is often done with a face ...
Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material [ 1 ] by advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This may be done by varying directions [ 2 ] on one or several axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. [ 3 ] Milling covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large ...
Indexing head. Indexing head and tailstock set up on a milling machine's table. An indexing head, also known as a dividing head or spiral head, [1] is a specialized tool that allows a workpiece to be circularly indexed; that is, easily and precisely rotated to preset angles or circular divisions. Indexing heads are usually used on the tables of ...
Multiaxis machining. A 5-axis water jet cutter and a part manufactured with it. Multiaxis machining is a manufacturing process that involves tools that move in 4 or more directions and are used to manufacture parts out of metal or other materials by milling away excess material, by water jet cutting or by laser cutting.
Computer-aided manufacturing. CAD model and CNC machined part. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) also known as computer-aided modeling or computer-aided machining[1][2][3] is the use of software to control machine tools in the manufacturing of work pieces. [4][5][6][7][8] This is not the only definition for CAM, but it is the most common. [4]
By 1943 they were one of the three largest milling machine manufacturers in the United States. [3] In 1965 the company was a leading automated tool maker, and had annual sales of more than 47 million dollars. They manufactured more than 100 different boring and milling machines. They merged with the Rockwell-Standard corporation in 1965. [4]
