CNC Machining

CNC Machining Overview

CNC machining is a process where a computer computer controlled machine uses a spinning cutting tool, called an 'end mill' to remove material from raw stock to create a finished part. At Angelbotics, we use our CNC machine mainly to produce gussets to hold our robot together, however we have used it numerous times to machine parts for our manipulator. This coming season, we hope to utilize our machine to drill holes in the tubes we use to build our robot's frame out of, since it takes a sub-optimal amount of time to drill that many holes with our human-operated milling machine.
