What is CNC turning and milling?
At ANKRO, we have machines that can mill and turn simultaneously within a single clamping.
CNC turning works as follows: the bar stock rotates while a cutting tool removes the excess material. We mainly use this to make round parts such as shafts, bushings, and flanges. Think of components for hydraulic systems, for example.
CNC milling works in exactly the opposite way. The bar stock remains stationary and the tool removes the material by drilling or milling. You can see that a milling cutter moves along the bar stock, so the material does not rotate. This is how housings, gears, and parts with recesses are created.
What is special about our approach? At ANKRO, we have machines that perform both processes in a single clamping. These machines can both turn and mill, and this is set up so that it is done in the correct order. In addition, everything remains in the same clamping, which improves accuracy.
