CNC cutting is a processing method that applies CNC technology to achieve the precise control over tolerances during the processing process, creating products with optimal finishing and high productivity. CNC metal cutting stands out as the most widely adopted method in mechanical processing enterprises. This article will help you have a clear understanding of two CNC cutting methods: CNC wire cutting and CNC plasma cutting.
CNC involves the use of computer programming to control metal processing machinery and equipment. Metals processed through CNC methods achieve a surface quality that satisfies the strict requirements of the market. Businesses choose CNC machining over traditional techniques due to its numerous benefits:
Common types of materials used in CNC cutting methods include corrugated iron sheets, iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and steel. Based on the surface requirements of the product, the shape, size of the part/mold, the processing facility will choose the appropriate CNC method:
Wire cutting machining (EDM) is a machining method that corrodes metal with electrical sparks through 2 electrodes including Anode (part) and Cathode (tool), controlled by programming method. The cutting wire is controlled to move along the contour of the Descartes XY coordinate system, entering from the outside of the workpiece or being threaded through a pilot hole through the thickness of the workpiece.
CNC wire cutting is classified based on the material of the cutting wire:
Wire cutting is suitable for processing thin, simple parts that can stack material sheets on top of each other for 1 precise cut. Mold details, mortars and pestles with square and sharp edges or complex curves, and high frequency gaps are prioritized for CNC wire cutting. The quotation of CNC wire cutting method depends on quantity, complexity, surface requirements, and tolerance requirements. In Hanoi City, there are some reputable CNC wire cutting service providers such as CNC-Vina, Tidco, Emetech etc.
CNC plasma cutting is the process of using a high-velocity jet of ionized gas (plasma) to create energy to cut conductive materials. Based on different requirements of the cutting surface, manufacturers use different gas flows:
Some applications of CNC plasma cutting:
CNC cutting has become a highly popular method in metal processing, representing a significant portion of the production volume for mechanical processing businesses. In the past, we often depended on pre-made products that sometimes failed to meet specific requirements or needs. Today, on-demand processing has effectively addressed this issue.
