Milling is the single biggest manufacturing process in our company. We perform a very wide range of milling operations, from simple milling of components weighing a few hundred grams to highly advanced 5-axle milling operations on workpieces weighing several tonnes.
One important company philosophy for many years is that all our NC operators do their own programming. Making good use of their milling expertise felt completely natural when we chose to invest in the WorkNC machining preparation software for use by our operators. In this system we generate all our three-dimensional toolpaths. Our operators also programme our 5-axle milling and high-speed milling in the same way. We currently have 5 licences for the system and 13 trained operators.
For a complete list of our machinery, see the link “Machinery list”. Examples include four 5-axle multi-operation machines, of which three are high-speed milling machines. The largest workpiece we can process with 3-axle milling is 2500 x 1200mm. In the case of 5-axle milling the corresponding maximum dimensions are 1000 x 1000mm.
