Norfolk, VA Production Machining and Milling: What is Milling?

Milling is the most common type of CNC machining in Norfolk, VA. 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 move along various axes and create holes, slots, and details in material to turn it into a mechanical part, vehicle, or other finished product. The CNC milling machines utilized in our Norfolk, VA production machining and milling process operate on multi axis range of motion, in addition to right angle capabilities, to help you get rapidly created parts, designs, and products out the door. Give us a call with any questions about the Norfolk, VA CNC milling process at 573-646-3996 or reach out to us online.

The CNC milling machines we utilize in our facilities near Norfolk, VA are:

• 2 axis machines for Norfolk, VA production machining and milling can cut slots and holes in the x- and z-axes (horizontal and vertical) and only in one direction.
• 3 axis machines for Norfolk, VA 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 spherical or circular object will need to be worked on one half at a time because it’s impossible to cut from below.
• 4 axis machines for Norfolk, VA production machining and milling add the ability to rotate the x-axis, similar to our lathes.
• 5 axis machines near Norfolk, VA for production machining and milling add the ability to rotate both the x- and y-axes. This is our most versatile milling machine, allowing us to shape virtually anything.

Norfolk, VA 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 Norfolk, VA:

1. Drilled Holes

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

2. Bored Holes

   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. Boring allows parts to be assembled tightly and properly, achieving precisely tight tolerances for diameter.

3. Flat Surfaces

   CNC milling puts flat surfaces on a workpiece, creating a finished sealing surface so flat that potential leak issues are nearly eliminated.

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 swapping the machine if we run a tighter tolerance. On shorter runs, our CNC machines can cut as precise as 0.001,” or nearly a fourth of the width of a human hair.

Norfolk, VA Production Machining and Milling: What Are Some Other Uses of CNC Milling Machines?

While we operate CNC milling machines for Norfolk, VA partners in the previously mentioned industries, they can also be handy for shorter production machining and milling runs in the following categories:

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