CNC Machining/Milling Long Beach

CNC Machining in Long Beach

Computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining is a commonly used manufacturing process utilizing three, four, or five-axis milling machines, lathes, grinders, and routers. The structure of the machine may differ in whether the tool, the piece, or both move. 

CNC machining is currently used in many industries. Electronics, robotics, aerospace, medicine, and industry benefit from the high repeatability and precision afforded by CNC machining. Since the equipment can cut even the hardest metals to a highly exact degree, it becomes a very attractive option for most professionals. 

Benefits of CNC Machining

Technicians use a connected computer program to input designs and tool paths onto the project piece. The main benefits of using this method include:

• Saves money. Using the automation system means less waste and more efficiency, especially with cost.
• Convenient. The connected computer program allows for your specifications to be input once and create maximum output.
• Consistent output. There is no room for human error when using CNC machining methods.
• Accurate and precise. Similarly, the CNC machines have capabilities within +/-0.001” to +/-0.005”.
• 24/7 manufacturing power. This efficiency saves you both time and money.
• Customization. Our machines are capable of producing pieces of any size or shape.
• Scalability. Any design uploaded to the CNC computer can be produced singly or by the thousands. 

Milling in Long Beach

CNC milling differs from the general lathe in its movement. Rather than having the material attached to the spindle and moved, the mill moves both parts. The material piece and the spindle are moved using a code read by our machine, enabling complex design.

Thanks to the sensitivity of the equipment, milling can cut a variety of materials. This includes but is not limited to aluminum, hard metals, and titanium.

The Naimor Inc. mills host industry-leading machines run by experts in their field. Our employees have experience working with many different industries and as such can help you choose what best suits your needs.

Machine Types

Each piece of equipment has its speciality, but all yield excellent results. Our local shop has the following machines available for your use:

• Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM): Using electrical discharges to create the desired design, this metal fabrication process can only cut materials able to conduct electricity. 
• Lathes: A fixed cutting tool is utilized for cutting away surplus material from the spinning piece, attached to the spindle. Our lathes are especially beneficial for making reproducible pieces.
• Routers: Best for soft materials like wood or aluminum, Naimor Inc. routers are an efficient milling option.

A CNC router is a bit different from a CNC mill. One of the main differences is the operational speed. Compared to a mill, a CNC router operates at a much higher speed. This high rotational speed is what enables it to make cuts.

Another important difference is the types of material each is able to cut. A CNC mill can cut through much harder materials, including steel. This is possible because a mill relies on its torque, supported by the configuration of the axes.
