Durham, NC Production Machining and Milling: What is Milling?

Milling is the most common type of CNC machining in Durham, NC. It is a versatile production machining process that can perform various kinds of cuts on a part. In the production machining and milling process, a CNC milling machine utilizes a spinning cylindrical cutter to proceed along multiple axes and create holes, slots, and details in material to turn it into a mechanical vehicle, part, or other finished product. The CNC milling machines used in our Durham, NC production machining and milling process operate on multi axis range of motion, in addition to right angle capabilities, to assist you in getting rapidly created designs, parts, and products out the door. Call us with any questions about the Durham, NC CNC milling process at 573-646-3996 or reach out to us online.

The CNC milling machines we utilize in our facilities near Durham, NC are:

• 2 axis machines for Durham, NC production machining and milling can cut holes and slots in the x- and z-axes (horizontal and vertical) and only in one direction.
• 3 axis machines for Durham, NC production machining and milling add the y-axis. This is our most popular milling machine. It cuts vertically and in any direction, yet a circular or spherical object will need to be done one half at a time because it’s impossible to cut from below.
• 4 axis machines for Durham, NC production machining and milling add the capability to rotate the x-axis, similar to our lathes.
• 5 axis machines near Durham, NC for production machining and milling add the capacity to rotate both the x- and y-axes. This is our most versatile milling machine, permitting us to shape virtually anything.

Durham, NC Production Machining and Milling: What Are CNC Milling Machines Used For?

CNC milling machines are especially handy in three specific production machining and milling situations near Durham, NC:

1. Drilled Holes

   Drilling creates a hole and tapping adds threads. Drilling focuses on both the depth of the hole and the diameter, measurements that are useful further on in the production machining and milling process. Through and tapped holes are the most familiar way to assemble parts.

2. Bored Holes

   Boring permits parts to be assembled properly and tightly, achieving precisely tight tolerances for diameter. Enlarging an existing hole using a drill and boring bar with a cutting tool forms a precise inner cavity within a part, also useful further along in the production process.

3. Flat Surfaces

   CNC milling puts flat surfaces on a workpiece, creating a finished sealing surface so flat that possible leak issues are almost eradicated.

The Roberson Machine Company CNC milling machines, much like our other CNC machines, operate on tight tolerances. For longer production machining and milling runs, we set most of our CNC machines on a 0.005” tolerance or rely on swapping the machine if we run a tighter tolerance. On shorter runs, our CNC machines can cut as precise as 0.001,” or about a fourth of the width of a human hair.

Durham, NC Production Machining and Milling: What Are Some Other Uses of CNC Milling Machines?

While we utilize CNC milling machines for Durham, NC customers in the aforementioned industries, they can also be functional for shorter production machining and milling runs in the following categories:

• Cabinets
• Woodworking
• Furniture
• Instruments
• Prototyping and modeling
• Sculpture
• Aluminum machining
• Signs
