Production Machining and Milling Minneapolis, MN. Roberson Machine Company has the skill, experience, and machinery to get the job done, regardless if you have a design concept knocking around in your head that is begging for a captive audience and a practical work plan or you have a particular part or piece of material that needs to be refined or milled in Minneapolis, MN.

Give Roberson Machine Company a call today at 573-646-3996 or contact us to get an instant quote on your production machining and milling project in Minneapolis, MN.

Applying CNC (Computer Numerical Control), our savvy specialists maneuver our production machines by programming tool paths based on the geometric schematics of the final material. The final work piece is based on a

  • Cartesian coordinate design from a CAD (Computer Aided Design) model. A CNC machine runs on this set of CAD and CAM programmed code. The CAD software designs the models and assemblies that the CAM software translates into G-code that drive the CNC machine’s tools to turn those designs into physical parts.

    Using CNC for our production machining and milling allows Roberson Machine Company to ensure that our capacities are customizable and changeable based on the work plan near Minneapolis, MN.

    Our CNC machines can cut almost any foam, glass, wood, rigid plastic, metal alloy, and other composite materials with high precision, accuracy, and repeatability — easily turning out thousands of components that are indistinguishable — making CNC production machining and milling parts appropriate for the following industries near Minneapolis, MN:

    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:

    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.
