Machining
With our flexible machinery, we can handle a wide range of machining projects. For parts that require CNC-based machining in the manufacturing process, we can offer milling, drilling and tapping.
How machining is done
In machining, we create detailed and precise components in a wide range of materials. With advanced machines and a team of experienced employees, we can perform milling, drilling, threading and other precision machining operations according to your specific needs.
Machining is a key method in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, tool and mould making. It is often used to achieve the accuracy required for technically advanced components and to meet high tolerance and quality requirements.
Techniques in metal cutting
There are many different machining techniques, some of the most common being milling and threading. The choice of technique depends entirely on the design and material of the component. It is important to make the right choice to ensure that the component has the required properties.
In addition to CNC machining, we also offer welding, surface treatment and press braking, so that we can manufacture customised sheet metal products to your specific needs.
Milling
Milling is a machining method where a rotating cutting tool or cutter removes material from a workpiece. Depending on the design of the cutter and how it is used, we can produce different types of surfaces and shapes.
Some common milling methods are face milling for flat surfaces, roll milling for grooves and contours, and face milling for deeper grooves and pockets. The technique is very useful in the manufacturing industry, especially when it comes to creating complex shapes and details in sheet metal. At Stans & Press, we can perform milling using computer-controlled CNC machining.
Threading
Threading is a form of machining used to create threads, i.e. helical grooves, on the top surface of a material. Threading is used to join different components together, for example by creating a bolted joint. This can be done in a number of ways - using taps, threaded pipes or CNC machines. The choice of method depends on the properties of the material, the dimensions of the thread and the tolerances that apply.
Multi-operation machines at Stans & Press
In our machine park, we offer two different multi-operation machines for cutting CNC machining. They are advanced machine tools with automatic tool change that performs milling, drilling and tapping operations as part of the manufacturing process. Our multi-operation machines are:
- HAAS VF-2 with work table (X Y Z) 762 x 406 x 508 mm
- HAAS VF-6 with work table (X Y Z), 1626 x 813 x 762 mm
Latest CNC milling machine in our fleet
The latest multi-operation machine in our fleet is the Haas VF-6. It is a milling machine used for CNC machining in a variety of industries, such as toolmaking, automotive, aerospace, and medical. Some common tasks a Haas VF-6 can perform are:
- Milling: We can create smooth and flat surfaces or complex shapes and contours on your components by means of face milling, end milling, roll milling and profile milling.
- Drilling and threading: The machine can be used to drill holes with great precision and to create internal threads in holes and external threads on cylindrical surfaces.
- Specialised processing: The Haas VF-6 also offers capabilities such as circular milling, 3D machining of complex shapes, and high-precision machining for tight tolerances.
The Haas VF-6 is equipped with automatic tool changing, which facilitates batch production and minimises downtime. The machine is designed to handle a wide range of high-precision materials, such as steel, aluminium, titanium, plastics, and composites.
