CNC Milling & Multi-Axis Machining
From precision 3-axis milling to multi-axis machining, LAIRUN manufactures custom components with multiple faces, pockets, slots, contours, angled features and closely related geometric requirements. We select the machining approach according to part geometry, tolerance relationships, accessibility and production quantity, with the goal of reducing unnecessary setups while maintaining consistent feature relationships throughout the part.
PROCESS SCOPE
What Our Milling Capability Covers
Our milling capability supports both straightforward prismatic parts and components that require machining from multiple orientations. The process is planned around the drawing: which features share a datum, which surfaces should be machined in the same setup, and where additional indexing or re-fixturing is necessary.
3-Axis CNC Milling
Suitable for plates, brackets, blocks, housings and other parts where the main features can be accessed from fixed tool directions. Typical work includes facing, pocketing, slotting, drilling and profile machining.
4-Axis Machining
Useful when features are distributed around a part or when multiple sides can be accessed by indexing the workpiece, helping reduce repeated manual repositioning and maintain more consistent relationships between features.
5-Axis Machining
Applied to parts with angled faces, multi-directional features, contoured surfaces or access limitations that would otherwise require several conventional setups. The machining strategy is selected according to the actual geometry and tolerance requirements of the part.
Multi-Side & Multi-Setup Machining
For parts that still require more than one setup, datums, locating surfaces and setup sequence are planned to protect critical feature relationships across operations.
TYPICAL FEATURES & PARTS
Features Commonly Produced by CNC Milling
CNC milling is often selected when a component combines flat surfaces with pockets, slots, hole patterns, profiles or features located on several faces. Typical work includes:
- Precision plates, base plates and mounting plates
- Pockets, cavities, slots and grooves
- Steps, shoulders and controlled-depth features
- Angled faces and multi-directional features
- Contour and profile surfaces
- Hole patterns and threaded features integrated with milled geometry
- Housings, brackets, fixtures and structural machine components
- Parts requiring multiple related features across different faces
PROCESS CONTRO
What We Control During Milling
For milling work, the machining result depends not only on machine capability but also on how the part is located, clamped and sequenced. We pay particular attention to the following process factors:
致力于人工智能、数字智造深度创新和落地
Datum & Setup Control
Critical dimensions are reviewed together with their drawing datums so that locating surfaces and machining setups support the required geometric relationships.
Multi-Setup Management
When a part cannot be completed in one setup, the sequence is planned to minimize accumulated positioning error and to protect relationships between features machined in different operations.
Tool Access & Machining Sequence
Tool reach, cutter diameter, corner geometry, feature depth and machining order are considered before production to avoid unnecessary tool extension or unstable cutting conditions.
Deformation Control
For thin sections, large pockets or parts with uneven material removal, workholding and cutting sequence are adjusted to reduce distortion during machining and after release from the fixture.
