What is Milling?
Milling is a kind of machine tool that was invented at the end of the 19th century and is used in industrial machining. The working principle of milling cutters is machines that make shaping (drilling, surface treatment, hobbing, etc.) by removing chips from the workpiece by means of a cutting tool rotating around its own axis. Today, it is possible to see milling machines in every company that produces parts from metal or metal alloys. Thanks to the new technologies, the mills have now been replaced by the new generation mills with CNC control, and manufacturing can be done completely automatically with the help of computers and special programs (CAD-CAM).
It is a machine used in milling, chip removal and similar processes, which is one of the indispensables of industrial production and has a history of 250 years. The milling machine has a system that works when the rotating cutting tool moves to perform the desired operation on and around the workpiece surface. The milling machine is used for pool machining, finger machining, side contouring, grooving, side machining and surface machining. Of course, a special milling machine can be made according to the needs. The milling machine, which is one of the most important machines of the industrial sector, is used by tens of thousands of companies today. A milling machine can do a work that can be done by human hands for weeks within hours. This clearly shows how important the milling is for production. Milling is a king among cnc machines.
Since the milling machine is completely computer-controlled, it offers the opportunity to manufacture much faster. With the necessary information entered into the computer, the milling starts to work and starts to produce very quickly. It can be easily given as desired with the milling spindle (tip). The process of manufacturing by operating the milling tools is also called milling. According to the stopping angle of the milling spindle, there are two different milling machines as bed milling and vertical milling. Milling machines are the most important player in the industry sector for the processing of steel and making productions by giving the necessary shape.
