Cnc Machining

CNC Machines and Computer Numerical Control

At Anco Precision Inc., we’ve spent over 40 years mastering the art of CNC machining, a cornerstone of the modern manufacturing industry. CNC, or Computer Numerical Control, is a process where pre-programmed computer software dictates the movement of factory tools and machinery. This technology is behind the precision cutting, drilling, milling, and more, which we at Anco Precision execute with unparalleled accuracy.

The Machining Process

Our CNC machining process utilizes CAD/CAM software for designing and prototyping with precise control. Every task from cutting to drilling is performed with automation, enhancing both efficiency and precision. Thanks to CNC technology, complex surfaces that are extremely difficult to manage with manual machining can be accomplished effortlessly, making it a preferred choice for Anco Precision Inc. and our diverse clientele.

Toolpath Programming and Machine Tools

In our workshop, toolpath programming goes hand in hand with the sophisticated machine tools we operate. These range from 3-axis machines for simple geometries to advanced 5-axis CNC machines capable of executing the most intricate designs. This versatility allows us to serve various sectors, from aerospace to medical, by providing tailor-made solutions that meet and exceed expectations.

The Applications and Advantages of CNC Machining

CNC machining has revolutionized the manufacturing industry. Its precision, repeatability, and speed lend itself to a vast array of applications—from creating singular custom parts for local inventors to batch production for global industries. The advantages are clear: reduced labor costs, minimal errors, and the ability to produce complex designs that are not possible with manual machining.

The Flip Side: Disadvantages of CNC Machining

While the benefits are numerous, it’s important to acknowledge the limitations and disadvantages of CNC machining. The initial setup costs of CNC machinery and software can be high, and the technical know-how required to operate these machines means a steeper learning curve for new operators. However, at Anco Precision Inc., we see these challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation in the field.
