FAQ :
What is the difference between a CNC milling machine and a machining centre?
A used machining centre differs from a CNC milling machine in its level of automation, versatility and productivity. Whereas a CNC milling machine is mainly dedicated to milling operations, often with manual or semi-automated tool changes and simpler cycles, a machining centre incorporates an automatic tool changer, advanced cycle management and, depending on the configuration, additional axes for multi-sided machining in a single clamping. The result is reduced downtime, improved repeatability and the ability to produce both large and small series with a high level of precision. From an industrial point of view, the CNC milling machine remains relevant for targeted needs or low-speed workshops, while the machining centre is a strategic production tool, designed to optimise machine time, quality and part cost over the long term.
