Ivanovo Mechanical Plant provides metal turning and milling services of varying complexity. The service involves machining metal blanks using cutting tools or a milling cutter. The cutting tool is gradually fed against a workpiece secured in a special chuck and rotating around its axis. Coolant is applied to the machined surface to reduce the thermal load. The water cools the material, preventing deformation caused by critical overheating. It also improves cutting quality.
Milling is a method of machining metal and other materials using a milling cutter fitted with special teeth. As the cutter rotates rapidly, it removes excess material and gives the workpiece the required shape.
The technology allows both internal and external surfaces to be machined. The ways in which parts can be secured and cutting tools brought to them are limited by the design of the particular machine tools. Different attachments and cutting methods make it possible to machine grooves, cut threads, remove layers, cut off sections, create pockets or steps, and ream and bore holes. Parts can be given cylindrical, conical or even contoured shapes of varying complexity. The most common raw materials are metal blanks — tubes and rods made of various metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper.
Milling can be used to create three-dimensional parts and produce slots, cavities, recesses and holes. It is used both as a standalone operation and as part of a larger manufacturing process for complex products.
