About Machining Centers
Machining centers are machine tools that are used to automatically repeat operations on a workpiece. Common operations include drilling, reaming, tapping, milling, and boring. Most machining centers are numerically controlled. A CNC machining center uses computerized numeric control (CNC) to manufacture complex parts in metal or other materials. Typically, a CNC machine center uses a program which conforms to the EIA-274-D standard, commonly called G-code. A drill center automates the drilling of holes in a workpiece. A milling center automates the cutting, shaping, finishing, or working of products manufactured in a mill. In facilities that use lean manufacturing practices, machining centers can be an integral part of workcell design.
