CNC turning and milling

Would you like to have complex plastic products manufactured with meticulous precision? ANKRO is also the right place for CNC turning and milling. Our machines combine both techniques in a single clamping, which other parties have to do in several steps. Curious about what CNC turning and milling means for your project? Feel free to contact us for tailored advice.

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.

Curious about what we can make for you? Our possibilities may go further than you think.

What is the difference between CNC turning and CNC milling?

The difference between CNC turning and milling lies in the movement. In turning, the workpiece rotates, while in milling, the milling cutter moves. But the real power lies in combining both techniques.

Other companies in the market often have to process your product in different machines. First turning in one machine, then moving to another for the milling work. With each transfer, you lose a little accuracy and control.

We work differently. Our advanced machines can perform CNC milling and turning directly after each other. Your product stays in place while we shape it.

This method allows us to create much more complex, advanced products: it is precision work. From medical components with internal channels to plastic valve blocks. From electronics housings to shipbuilding components.

CNC turning and milling is a specialism

As experienced CNC turners and millers, we know what matters. The following factors make all the difference, especially when it comes to high-quality products:

  • Precise tolerances: Important for sectors such as the medical or food industry.
  • The right plastic: Every project requires different materials. POM for strength, PA for flexibility, PTFE for chemical resistance, PEEK for high temperatures.
  • Smart processes: Years of experience have taught us how to optimize cutting speeds and tool selection for each type of plastic. This ensures a good surface finish and accurate dimensions.
  • Customization per order: No two projects are the same. We adapt our working method to your specific requirements.

Our expertise is reflected in various industries. From food to medical, and from maritime to the analytical industry.
