Two-Step CNC Milling of Complex Metal Parts

Shared by jhc-kovo s.r.o., CNC machining
This post highlights a two-operation workflow for advanced CNC milling. As shown in the video, vertical machining centers perform complex contouring and hole operations using both aluminum and brass workpieces. Precision vises and rotary tables support varied fixturing, including 4th- and 5th-axis setups, ensuring stability and allowing intricate geometries.

Application in Job Shop Environments
The manufacturing process involves multiaxis and rotary milling, typical in job shop settings requiring flexibility and precision for custom components. ENCY CAD/CAM software is used to program and manage these operations, supporting effective production strategies.

Machining Setup and Results
Flood coolant is applied throughout, optimizing tool life and part finish on both L-shaped aluminum and threaded brass parts. The media provides a clear look at the accuracy achievable in demanding, multi-stage CNC production.
