Abstract
In an example, a method for milling a sink is disclosed. The method includes receiving a metal sheet, positioning the metal sheet in a receiving assembly for a milling machine, and scoring the metal sheet via a cutter of the milling machine. The metal sheet is scored along an axis corresponding to a bend of the sink. The method also includes manipulating the metal sheet to form the sink.
Claims18
A method for milling a sink comprising:
- receiving a metal sheet;
- positioning the metal sheet in a receiving assembly for a milling machine;

A method for milling a sink comprising:
- (a) transitioning, via a controller, a cutter of a milling machine proximate to a predetermined position of a metal sheet corresponding to a bend for a sink;
- (b) causing the cutter to score the metal sheet along an axis passing through the predetermined position to form a bend line;
- (c) determining whether the sheet requires another score;
- (d) transitioning the cutter to a subsequent position of the metal sheet corresponding to a further bend line when the metal sheet requires another score, wherein the subsequent position is different from prior score positions;
- (e) causing the cutter to score the metal sheet along the further bend line;
- (f) repeating steps (c)-(e) until all bend lines have been scored;
- and
- (g) once all bend lines have been scored, pressing the metal sheet via the pressing machine, to form the sink.
