Advanced Helical Machining of Plastic Auger Components

Shared by Daniel Gregoleti
This post highlights the complex process of CNC mill-turn machining for custom auger and corrugated plastic parts in job shop environments.

Helical Profile Machining
As seen in the video screenshots, a range of CNC machines equipped with live tooling and rotary fixtures work on white plastic cylinders, producing continuous helical and wave-shaped profiles. Components such as augers and bellows are shaped efficiently, with fine plastic chips visible throughout the process.

Application of ENCY CAD/CAM Software
The programming and operation of these advanced machining routines is achieved using ENCY CAD/CAM software. The ability to handle combined rotary and milling operations allows precise shaping of challenging profiles required in versatile job shop manufacturing.

Resulting Quality and Efficiency
The workflows produce high-quality plastic components, with clean and uniform contours, demonstrating effective use of ENCY software for intricate mill-turn tasks in demanding production settings.
