CNC MACHINES FOR COMPOSITES
The characteristics that make composites lightweight yet durable also make them tough to machine — unless that machine’s an Onsrud.
Our machines are engineered to handle harsh, dirty machining environments and the unique structural characteristics of composites.
Made with an Onsrud
Here are just some examples of the capabilities of our CNC machinery when it comes to composite materials:
Multi-Axis Trimming, Milling, Tapping, and Plunging
Intricate, complex composite molds
Contour Milling
Up to 5-sided Machining with a Fourth Axis
Optional Flood Coolant
Large Work Envelope for Oversized Parts
5-Axis simultaneous machining
Heavy-Duty Milling, Drilling, Tapping, and Sawing
Extra-large component machining
Full Particle / Debris Containment
Machines Built For You
Most of our machines are ideal for processing a wide range of composites: thermoformed plastic, fiber reinforced material, carbon fiber, phenolic, honeycomb, and many other innovative materials that have additives and binding agents. We’ve listed the most common models used for machining composites — many add an enclosure or opt for one of the fully enclosed machines — but if these do not meet the needs of your specific application, one of our other machines might be a better fit for your shop floor.
