CNC milling · Hamilton, Scotland
CNC milling, up to 700 mm cubed.
Five CNC machining centres in one Hamilton facility, three of them horizontal machining centres with pallets. Milled components up to 700 × 700 × 700 mm and 750 kg, in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The largest listed axis travel is 1,050 × 900 × 1,000 mm.
What it is
Prismatic parts, cut from the solid.
In CNC milling a rotating cutter removes material from a fixed component, along axes controlled by computer. It is how blocks, housings, plates, brackets and other prismatic parts are made.
On a horizontal machining centre the spindle lies on its side and the component is clamped to a square pallet: 630 × 630 mm on the Kitamura H630 and the DN Solutions NHP 6300, and 500 × 500 mm on the Kitamura H500i. The other two machining centres have tables.
All CNC machinery is DNC-linked and programmed offline in EdgeCam multi-axis manufacturing software. The quality management system behind the work is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by BSI under certificate number FM 11369.
Our CNC machining centres
