CNC MILLING

XXL CNC MILLING AT NORDMARK 

At Nordmark we have taken the CNC milling process to another level, seeing that we provide CNC milling solutions from one of the most experienced workshops in Denmark. At the company headquarter in Sæby we offer state-of-the-art CNC milling solutions, as well as turning solutions based on the largest lathes for the wind industry. Nordmark offers solutions on all four locations in Skagen, Sæby, Hedensted and in Cuxhaven in Germany. The location in Cuxhaven is designed for XXL large-scale milling, where the combination of capability, technology, lifting and crane capacities allow us to meet market demand. 

UNDERSTANDING THE CNC MILLING PROCESS

CNC milling is the process of machining where rotary cutters are used to remove material by advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This is done by varying direction on one or several axes, and it is one of the most common ways of machining custom parts to precise tolerances.

The CNC milling process utilizes computerized controls to operate and manipulate machine tools which cut and shape stock tool which cut and shape stock material. In addition, the process follows the same basic production stages which all CNC machining processes do, including designing a CAD model, converting the CAD model into a CNC program, setting up the milling machine, and, finally, executing the milling operation.

Depending on the type of milling machine employed and the requirements of the milling applications, as the tool cuts into the workpiece, the machine will perform one of the following actions to produce the necessary cuts on the workpiece.

1. Slowly feed the workpiece into the stationary, rotating tool

2. Move the tool across the stationary workpiece

3. Move both the tool and workpiece in relation to each other

Once the milling operation is completed, and the part is produced to the custom-designed specifications, the milled part passes to the finishing and post-processing stages of production. At Nordmark we handle all stages of the process, from design consultancy to manufacturing, surface treatment, quality and efficient logistic solutions – with buffer storage and ready-to-assemble parts delivered on-time across Europe.
