CNC milling
CGP has nine vertical milling machines, all of which are networked to our PC workstations and CAD/CAM packages.
Working with a wide variety of materials such as hardened steel up to 65rc, stainless steel, pre-toughened P20 and P20 high hard (Toolox 44), aluminium, cast iron and even Model Board, creating your design is our speciality.
Using high precision tooling we have machined a diverse range of jobs, from manifold casting rigs for car engines to models of window opening mechanisms for tractor cabs.
All machines have auto tool changing capabilities with magazines up to 40 station. This is ideal for "lights out" machining, as we can program paths in the day and leave the machine to finish the parts over night. All that is then required is de-burring and clearing away any swarf.
Our machines are capable of speeds up to 18000rpm and feed rates of 14mpm allowing us to take advantage of all modern cutters and drills when working with any material. 6 of our CNC mills also have coolant through spindle (CTS) fitted which allows for even faster material removal rates and processing times. Our high spec controls with optional high speed contouring softwares help to create superior part finishes
