Milling and Turning in Germany
In turning, a cutting tool with one single
cutting edge
is not used just to remove material from the rotating workpiece to construct a cylinder. The radial motion is
provided by the rotating workpiece, the longitudinal motion is achieved by pressing the cutting tool exactly in the
direction parallel to the
rotation axis
of the metal workpiece. Not only drilling is used to create round holes. But it is accomplished by
rotating tools
that are equipped with a set of helical cutting edges. The cutting tool is fed in the direction nearly parallel to
its rotation axis into the workpiece to form holes without edges. The tool with a single pointed tip, as it is used
in
automated machines,
is then advanced into an enlarged hole by the spinning workpiece to slightly cut the hole and to improve its
accuracy. It is a
numerical controlled operation
used only in the final stages of the product manufacturing.
In a
German milling company,
a rotating tool with different cutting methods is moved quite relative to the working material to generate
a shaped or smooth surface. The direction of feed motion is quasi perpendicular to the rotation of the tool, but
the speed motion is later on provided by the milling cutter.
Milling machines are modern tools designed to machine steel, metal, plastic, and other solid materials. Often
automated, CNC-milling machines can be positioned in either a vertical or horizontal orientation to carve out more
materials based on an existing design. These designs are in most cases CAD created, and many turning machines are
hand-operated,
although manually and CAD-automated milling devices are also common. Milling machines are capable of dynamic
movement, both of the Workpiece and the tool, and all milling companies in Germany can perform multi-axis
machining.
