Milling is a machining process consisting in chip removal through the action of a rotating tool: the milling cutter.

A little more detail...

This operation technically involves several steps: from roughing to finishing. Basically, and intuitively, in the first steps the cutter is programmed to quickly remove a significant amount of material.

Towards the end of the process, machining is fine tuned to focus on accuracy: the residual stock is removed to achieve the best compliance with the desired result, in terms of both dimensions/tolerances and surface roughness.

Among the most important parameters, in addition of course to strict compliance with expected results, there are also cutting speed in line with the hardness of the material, and tool feeding rate according to the density of the material, for an optimal result.

In detail

Among the most important parameters, in addition of course to strict compliance with expected results, there are also cutting speed in line with the hardness of the material, and tool feeding rate according to the density of the material, for an optimal result.

The milling operations included in our service range are generally drilling, counterboring and tapping for the application of threaded bolts, boring of bushings and milling for SAE flanges.

Our machines include specially equipped Y axis lathes to carry out the milling operations required for tapping components such as liners and stems.

Carrying out drilling and milling operations with lathes is a choice dictated by the need to streamline workpiece repositioning and consequently improve the geometric precision of the component.

The quality of our milling and drilling treatments is typically very high, so as to meet extremely strict standards, such as those required by applications where precision is a key factor.

Case history

Deep honing and drilling on design

For an application concerning the extactive and mining sector we built some hydrolic cylinders from one single S355 steel block. A kind of request pretty much difficult to comply with, which needs an accurate job.
