Minneapolis, MN Production Machining and Milling: What is Milling?

Milling is the most common type of CNC machining in Minneapolis, MN. It is a versatile production machining procedure that can perform many different 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 slots, holes, and details in material to transform it into a mechanical vehicle, part, or other finished product. The CNC milling machines utilized in our Minneapolis, MN 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 parts, designs, and products out the door. Give us a call with any questions about the Minneapolis, MN CNC milling process at 573-646-3996 or reach out to us online.

The CNC milling machines we use in our complex near Minneapolis, MN are:

• 2 axis machines for Minneapolis, MN 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 Minneapolis, MN production machining and milling add the y-axis. This is our most commonly used milling machine. It cuts vertically and in multiple directions, 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 Minneapolis, MN production machining and milling add the capability to rotate the x-axis, much like our lathes.
• 5 axis machines near Minneapolis, MN for production machining and milling add the capacity to rotate both the x- and y-axes. This is our most complete milling machine, allowing us to shape virtually anything.

In addition to our production machining and milling services, Roberson Machine Company supplies our Minneapolis, MN customers the following:

• Microscope Parts Precision Machining
• Military Manufacturing
• Medical Brace Manufacturing
• Manufacturing Oil & Gas Industry Parts

• Precision Manufacturing

Minneapolis, MN Production Machining and Milling: What Are CNC Milling Machines Used For?

CNC milling machines are particularly handy in three specific production machining and milling scenarios near Minneapolis, MN:

1. Drilled Holes

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

2. Bored Holes

   Boring allows parts to be assembled tightly and properly, 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, just like our other CNC machines, operate on tight tolerances. For longer production machining and milling runs, we adjust most of our CNC machines on a 0.005” tolerance or rely on changing 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.

Minneapolis, MN Production Machining and Milling: What Are Some Other Uses of CNC Milling Machines?

While we operate CNC milling machines for Minneapolis, MN customers in the previously mentioned industries, they can also be handy for smaller production machining and milling runs in the following categories:

• Cabinets
• Woodworking
• Furniture
• Instruments
• Prototyping and modeling
• Sculpture
