Code: 10248. We offer our customers a professional metal milling service for third parties through the processing of different surfaces.

Metal milling is a mechanical manufacturing process that involves the use of a cutting tool called a cutter to remove material from a metal surface.

This process is widely used in industry to obtain specific shapes, regular surfaces or to create grooves, holes and other geometric features on metal pieces.

What are the main characteristics of milling and which tools are used:

The cutter

A cutter is a rotating tool with cutting edges on multiple sides. It can have different types of cutting edges, such as straight, helical or disc-shaped cutting edges, depending on the machining needs.

The milling machine

The piece of metal to be machined is fixed on a milling machine. The cutter is then brought closer to the surface of the workpiece.

Movements

During the milling process, the cutter and/or workpiece can be moved in different ways. Milling can involve feed, lateral and vertical movements to remove excess material.

Removing material

The cutter cuts and removes excess material from the surface of the workpiece, creating the desired shape.

Metal milling is done for several reasons, including:

Forming

To obtain metal pieces with specific or detailed shapes, such as machine components or vehicle parts.

Surface finish

To improve the surface finish of metal, making it smoother and more precise.

Creating holes and grooves

For making holes, grooves or other geometric features in metal pieces.

Dimensional tolerances

To obtain precise dimensions and specific dimensional tolerances on work pieces.

The maximum dimensional characteristics of the milling pieces that we can accept are:

- Width: 1500 mm.

- Length: 4000 mm.

- Height: 2000 mm.

- Mass: 8000 kg.

Milling is a fundamental process in metalworking and is used in a wide range of industries, including machinery manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and many others.
