How do CNC machines work?

December 26, 2022

What is a CNC machine? Scrolling through your social media, you have probably come across videos of machines carving materials into various shaped objects in a precise and soothing manner. These are called CNC machines. Although they can work quite effectively as ASMR videos, their main purpose has nothing to do with helping you fall asleep.

What does a CNC machine do, then? Considering their presence and utilization in the various fields, they do quite much!

Dating back to as early as the 1940s these machines have been indispensable for industrial manufacturing. Thanks to their speed which can not be provided by live operators, it has been possible to mass-produce the materials we use in our daily life. From router machines to waterjet cutters, CNC machining is used in various forms and there is not only one type of CNC machine but three. The most common one is the CNC milling machine and engineers love them. Some programmers even make home CNC machines! However, although these versatile machines are quite handy, they have their shortcomings as well.

These machines have been in our lives since the industrialization of the world and do not seem to be going anywhere soon. If you are wondering about how these machines work and what their ups and downs are.

We highly recommend you watch this video to satisfy your curiosity and do not forget to unmute the video as merely watching the relaxing visuals can make you sleepy.

Edmund Optics® utilizes a wide range of CNC machining equipment including ultrasonic machining and high speed cutting (HSC) technology from DMG MORI® for the machining of complex optical component geometries. CNC machines offer the highest amount of precision and flexibility when it comes to fabricating components beyond basic shapes. Our true 5-axis precision machine centers have the capability to machine lightweight structures and high aspect ratio components with specialty bevels, precision holes and inserts, and mounting interfaces. In addition to optical glass, we can machine a wide range of demanding materials including ceramics, corundum, tungsten carbide, and even composites. Some high-tech materials, such as Tungsten Carbide and composites, cannot be machined using conventional machining and can only be shaped using ultrasonic machining.

8 laser cutting machines in action

Interesting Engineering

November 24, 2022

Have you ever seen the laser cutting process in action? Watching it is mesmerizing and oddly satisfying as the lasers cut through the sturdiest of elements.

In this video, we bring you some of the best, most exciting laser cutters out there including metal cutters, engravers, and fiber laser cutters.

There’s the fastest laser engraving and cutting machine that moves at 170 in/s (432 cm/s) with 5g acceleration. There’s a laser cutter that can cut through 0.8-in (2-cm) acrylic in a single pass and engrave a 256-level grayscale image.

There are fiber laser beams that can be focused to shorter diameters thanks to their shorter wavelengths. There are also laser cutters that move at 118 in/s (300 cm/s) cutting 11 holes per second.

Have any of these laser cutters peaked your interest? Do you want to see how they work? Do you want to learn more about the science, technology, and engineering that went into creating these devices? Then, do not miss this video.

CNC Milling Machine

Homemade CNC Machine! (6 months of work in 8 minutes)

Action BOX

October 30, 2022

We designed and built our own DIY homemade industrial grade CNC milling machine to use for personal projects. This homebuilt machine is made from epoxy granite and has an 8 horse power spindle, servo motors all around, and an automatic tool changer. The machine weighs over 3000kg and works perfectly. All designs are my own and 100% original.

We built this machine to help us produce better quality molds for our homemade plastic injection machine. Building this DIY CNC machine at home taught us a lot about milling machines as well as the physics at play, and we hope you find this video enlightening as well.

Fiber laser cutting machine

How does the CNC Fiber laser cutting machine work? – Factories

Factories

October 25, 2022

In recent years Fibre optic laser cutting machines have become the driving force behind the global production of sheet metal parts. WATCH NEXT VIDEO: https://youtu.be/-6JLYbaj520

The growing variety of products and smaller machines have forced manufacturers to move away from traditional methods of profiling with dies in favour of this modern fibre laser technology.

Modern laser cutters enable very high cutting performance while maintaining the ability to cut single parts and small or large batches without having to invest in expensive equipment.

Unlike the older generation of CO2 lasers, fibre lasers consume much less energy, and thanks to the shorter wavelength, the laser beam can be focused to a smaller diameter, which allows for faster cutting speeds.

Today we will see what solutions Poland manufacturer – Kimla are producing with this fibre technology.
