Machines Used for Roughing
Roughing is a critical step in machining because it helps prepare the workpiece for subsequent finishing operations while improving the overall efficiency of the production process. Excess material is removed from the workpiece during this phase, typically using larger cutting tools or high-speed machining techniques. The primary goal of roughing metal is to quickly remove the bulk of the material, shaping the workpiece closer to its final form.
Since they have robust designs and can handle heavy cutting operations, horizontal milling centers are ideal for precise roughing applications. The horizontally oriented spindle allows the machine to remove material efficiently from the workpiece. Many horizontal machining center models can make aggressive cuts and easily handle rough surfaces or irregular shapes.
Trevisan Machine Tool specializes in designing and building horizontal milling centers that work well for roughing and other machining processes like drilling, contouring, boring, tapping and facing. These centers combine all the benefits of a standard horizontal milling center and a traditional lathe into one streamlined solution.
CNC Machining Centers for Precise Roughing
We stand out from other machine manufacturers by offering horizontal milling centers with several facing head sizes and multiple turning diameters to meet your production requirements. Our equipment lineup includes models that can work as metal-roughing machines, including the DS600 RAM, which features two separate 100-horsepower spindle motors to handle your most demanding roughing jobs.
Our milling centers are practical and efficient solutions for operations wanting to improve production speeds by minimizing the number of setups. The facing and contouring heads can handle various milling functions, including heavy-duty roughing and fine finishing. By using the same CNC machine for multiple machining processes, operations can optimize production speed and minimize setup time while ensuring dimensional accuracy and surface consistency.
Advantages of Selecting Trevisan for Rough and Finish Machining Solutions
Choosing Trevisan Machine Tool for high-performance metal-cutting CNC machines allows you to experience benefits like:
- Improved efficiency: The ability to perform various machining functions on the same machining center without requiring manual intervention reduces setup time, minimizes material handling and maximizes production efficiency.
- Enhanced accuracy: Horizontal milling centers with facing heads are precise and can maintain consistent accuracy and repeatability throughout many machining phases, resulting in consistent part quality and dimensional accuracy.
- Cost savings: Consolidating multiple machining phases into a single equipment solution helps reduce costs associated with maintaining and purchasing numerous machines, plus the labor requirements to operate them.
- Flexibility: CNC machining centers can be equipped with multiple cutting tools and tool changers, allowing them to perform several machining operations and produce a wider variety of machined products.
- Improved workflow: Utilizing a single machine for various functions ensures a smooth workflow and helps prevent bottlenecks in production, as there is no need to move the workpiece between different equipment.
