Machining
The term "machining" covers various operations, including turning, milling, drilling, grinding and many more.
This process is essential in the manufacture of a wide range of industrial products, from simple parts to complex machine components.
Machining plays a crucial role in producing high-quality components for sectors including aerospace, automotive and mechanical engineering.
Turning
Turning is a machining process in which the workpiece rotates while a cutting tool moves linearly.
This technique is commonly used to produce cylindrical or conical shapes, such as shafts, flanges and drums.
Vertical turning
Vertical turning is a form of turning in which the workpiece is positioned vertically. It is ideal for the precise machining of large and heavy components that are difficult to machine horizontally.
Milling
Milling is a machining process that uses rotating, multi-tooth cutting tools to remove material from the workpiece. It can be used to produce complex shapes, grooves and surface finishes, including keyways.
Boring
Boring uses a special tool, known as a boring head, to enlarge and finish circular holes. It is often used for the precision machining of bores in machinery.
Cylindrical grinding
Cylindrical grinding uses a rotating grinding wheel to reduce or finish the diameter of a workpiece. It is commonly applied to cylindrical objects for precise dimensional control.
Broaching / Slotting
Broaching or slotting is a machining technique used to create complex, precise shapes in metal workpieces.
In machine repair, this technique is often used to machine internal profiles such as keyways, gear splines and other complex recesses.
