CNC for toolmaker
January 1st 2008

Expansion at toolmaker CSProducts has led to a switch from manual to CNC machining.

Prompted by an increasing demand for the fast delivery of prototype tooling and components, the company installed a 13HP/8000 rev/min XYZ Mini Mill 560 compact VMC in 2005, followed by a 15HP/8000 rev/min XYZ 710 VMC.

The 560mm X axis travel Mini Mill can accommodate workpieces weighing up to 300kg on its 610mm x 370mm table; the larger VMC with its 710mm X axis travel can accommodate a table load of 500kg on its 760 x 430mm table.

The two machines are networked, which means programs can be compiled off-line using the XYZsupplied training package as well as the machine.

Ease of programming is afforded by a Siemens ShopMill conversational control fitted to both machines. An experienced CNC user accustomed to programming using G and M codes, Robin Chisnall, founder of CS-Products, says this had more to do with demands on his time than concerns about in-house programming.
