CNC Machining Center Technology Moving Forward

CNC machining centers continue to grow in popularity due to their flexibility in applications and the ability to process multiple materials, including composite panels, solid wood, plastics and other non-ferrous materials.

The trend toward mass customization is also fueling this demand. “Very few companies these days produce huge production quantities anymore, resulting in the need for flexible, easy to set up and changeover CNC machines,” said Jeff Conger, Weeke product manager at Stiles Machinery Inc.

Bill Blackmon, Busellato product manager for Casadei-Busellato, agreed. “The economic downturn has forced more and more companies to accept jobs that involve smaller and smaller quantities or custom products. CNC machining centers are essential to producing these products with the short lead times, high quality and lowest cost demanded by today’s customer,” he said.

“Machining centers capable of performing multiple operations on the workpiece are the best way to handle the smaller batch sizes associated with mass customization,” agreed Larry Tolbert, sales representative for Solid Wood Systems. “It becomes very inefficient to move parts between various machines, adding additional setups at each machine,” he said.

Michael Cassell, North American CNC product manager at Holz-Her US also noted, “The repeatability, reduced set-up time, the ability of the machine to run in pendulum process and the parametric capability of software are solid reasons for the use of CNC machining centers for customized processing.”

“The trend toward just-in-time manufacturing comes directly from consumer demand for custom products,” added Cesare Magnani, sales manager at Biesse America. “Due to their great flexibility, efficiency and precise quality machining in manufacturing custom products, CNC machining centers present the perfect answer to the manufacturing challenges that just-in-time production brings into factories. More and more manufacturers are looking to the CNC to replace traditional manufacturing solutions that were designed for high-volume standardized productions,” Magnani said.
