CNC milling – to achieve the best results from your tool
When we manufacture tools, CNC milling is a part of the production process used to cut and create flat and shaped surfaces on a tool component.
As Northern Europe’s leading tool manufacturer, we make world-class tools and prototypes. We work with several methods to achieve the best results when the tool is to take its physical form. One of these methods is milling. At Lidhs Tooling, we work with CNC milling (Computer Numerical Control), which means that the milling machine is computerised.
CNC milling is part of our toolmaking process, used to cut and create flat and contoured surfaces on a tool part. With CNC milling, the milling program is programmed in a CAM program to determine how a component should be processed. The milling program then controls the milling machine automatically. The workpiece is made by cutting into the material with rotary tools.
Lidhs Tooling’s machinery pool contains six milling machines with a working area of up to 3,200 x 2,100 x 920 mm. These machines allow us to mill the components of a tool and help other industrial companies in Sweden with subcontracting.
Intelligent machining for a sustainable toolmaking processWe work with intelligent machining using state-of-the-art machinery to make tools At Lidhs Tooling, we were ahead of the game in acquiring state-of-the-art machinery and becoming digitised. In 1973, we acquired an erosion machine – a machine that was highly advanced at the time. A few years later, the…
EDM for advanced forms with high precisionWhen we manufacture tools, wire EDM is a part of the production process. Wire EDM is used to cut metal with an electrically charged brass wire. At Lidhs Tooling, we got off to an early start with wire cutting machines in our tool manufacturing, acquiring our first EDM machine…
