CNC Machining

Aeron Pacific excels in a wide array of machining services, including

Design

The process begins with the creation of a 3D model using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. The model defines the geometry and specifications of the part.

Programming

The CAD model is translated into a set of instructions for the CNC machine. This is typically done using Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software, generating G-code that guides the machine’s movements.

Setup

The CNC machine is set up with the necessary tools, materials, and fixturing. The work piece (raw material) is securely mounted onto the machine bed.

Tool Selection

Different tools, such as end mills, drills, or lathes, are selected based on the requirements of the part. Tools may vary in size, shape, and material to suit specific machining operations.

Machining Operations

The CNC machine follows the programmed instructions to remove material from the work piece. Common operations include milling, turning, drilling, and electrical discharge machining (EDM).

Precision and Accuracy

CNC machines offer high precision and accuracy, allowing for the production of intricate and tightly tolerance parts. The programmed instructions control the movement of the cutting tools with great detail.

Multi-Axis Machining

CNC machines can operate in multiple axes, enabling the creation of complex 3D geometries. The number of axes depends on the machine type, such as 3-axis, 4-axis, or 5-axis machines.

Automation

CNC machining is highly automated, reducing the need for manual intervention. This leads to increased efficiency and consistency in part production.

Materials

CNC machining can work with a variety of materials, including metals (aluminium, steel, titanium), plastics, wood, and composites.
