What CNC Manufacturers UK Provide
CNC Milling
CNC Milling is an extremely versatile machining process that employs computer-controlled machines to craft intricate parts from a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. The workpiece is securely fixed onto a machine bed while a rotating cutting tool removes material to shape the part.
This process can operate across multiple axes (x, y, and z), allowing for the creation of detailed features such as slots, holes, pockets, and contours. With advanced CNC milling machines, we can produce highly detailed and intricate parts with remarkable accuracy, all within a streamlined process that reduces lead times and optimises efficiency.
The Types Of CNC Milling Machines
At Sotek Engineering, we use a diverse range of CNC milling machines, each suited to specific project requirements:
Horizontal Milling Machines: With a horizontal spindle, these machines move along the x and z axes, making them ideal for large or heavy components.
Vertical Milling Machines: Featuring a vertical spindle, these machines move along the x and y axes, perfect for creating a wide variety of shapes and components.
5-Axis Milling Machines: These machines can move along five axes, allowing for the production of highly complex and detailed parts.
Gantry Milling Machines: With a fixed bridge, these machines move the cutting tool along multiple axes, making them ideal for large or intricate parts.





The Applications Of CNC Milling
CNC Milling is essential in industries that require highly accurate components, such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and defence sectors.
These industries rely on the precision, speed, and versatility of CNC milling machines to produce parts that meet the most exacting specifications.
The Benefits Of CNC Milling
CNC Milling offers numerous advantages, including:
- Reduced Defects: Fewer manual processes lead to fewer errors.
- Improved Efficiency: Faster production speeds result in shorter lead times.
- Energy Efficiency: Optimised machine usage reduces energy consumption.
- High Precision: Consistent accuracy and tight tolerances are achieved.
- Lower Costs: Automation helps to reduce labour costs.
- Enhanced Safety: Automated systems increase operator safety.
- Minimal Waste: Efficient material usage results in less waste.

CNC Turning
CNC Turning is a process used to create cylindrical or conical components by rotating the workpiece against a cutting tool. The lathe machine moves the cutting tool along the material’s surface to shape it into the required form.
CNC Turning is ideal for producing parts with complex contours and is widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical.
The Features Of CNC Turning Machines
Bar Feeders: These devices automatically feed raw material into the machine, enhancing efficiency and removing the need for manual loading.
Driven Tooling: This enables additional machining functions, such as drilling, tapping, and milling, expanding the scope of features that can be added to the part.



The Applications Of CNC Turning
CNC Turning is frequently used in the manufacture of parts for the automotive, aerospace, medical, and defence sectors.
The flexibility, precision, and speed of CNC turning machines make them ideal for producing both simple and complex parts with exceptional accuracy and speed.
The Benefits Of CNC Turning
The many benefits of CNC Turning include:
- Versatility: Suitable for a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced material waste and shorter cycle times lower overall production costs.
- Improved Safety: Less manual operator involvement leads to a safer work environment.
- Increased Production Speed: Faster operations reduce lead times.
- Enhanced Precision: Tight tolerances ensure a high-quality finish.
