CNC Machining Aluminum Sheet
Aluminum is the most widely used metal in the world. It is lightweight, strong and yet malleable. This makes it a good choice for making parts that require strength and flexibility. Aluminum is also resistant to corrosion, which makes it a good choice for marine applications
Aluminum sheets are available in a wide range of thicknesses, widths and lengths. They come in various grades of purity as well. CNC machining aluminum sheets can be done in several ways
CNC Millin
CNC milling is the process of cutting aluminum sheets by using a computer controlled milling tool with high speed spindle drive. The tool has two axes which are controlled by motors using servo motors or stepper motors to move them in different directions at different speeds. These axes are mounted on the table of the machine where they can be moved up and down along with left and right movements so that the cutter head can reach all areas of the work piece without missing any details on its surface. With this method, there is no need for any form of jig or fixture because all parts are machined directly onto their original shape with no change or addition required afterwards
