Industries utilizing high-precision CNC machining

CNC machining is the process of controlled metal removal that transforms a piece of material into a finished product. CNC machining encompasses many different manufacturing processes, including milling, turning, drilling and tapping. Computer numerical control (CNC) machining particularly involves the use of computer programming and electromechanical equipment to manipulate and precisely position machining tools.

Multi-axis CNC machines are capable of machining extremely complex surfaces and intricate geometries, and in general, CNC machines can achieve extremely high tolerances and precision, while also interfacing well with computer-aided design (CAD) technology. In many cases, CNC machining is the only viable manufacturing method to efficiently and economically produce certain types of parts.CNC machining methods are versatile and reliable and can be used in a wide range of industries. In this article, we will present you with specific examples of applications.

1. CNC machining in the aerospace industry

CNC machining is widely used in the aerospace industry, which often requires high tolerances, complex geometries, and materials that cannot be processed using other manufacturing methods. CNC-machined aerospace parts are often mission-critical in this field, so the highest levels of precision and accuracy must be achieved.

Tolerances as small as 0.00004 inches are not uncommon, and there are often stringent requirements for flatness, roundness and cylindricity that can only be achieved through computer-controlled machining. Sometimes parts are designed with geometries that are so complex that they can only be realized with 5-axis CNC machining systems.

Common examples of CNC machined aerospace parts include

Landing gear components

Titanium shrouds

Bushings

Wings

Manifolds

Stator components

Magnesium Gearbox Housings

Electrical connectors

Aerospace CNC machining can use many different materials; aluminum, stainless steel, brass, nickel, bronze, ceramics, plastics, magnesium, titanium, and other high-performance alloys are all common materials.

2. CNC machining in the communications industry applications

High-tolerance CNC machining is also frequently used in the telecommunications industry. Like aerospace components, telecom parts are often involved in mission-critical applications where failures are absolutely unacceptable. Achieving this level of reliability often requires the use of parts with extremely tight tolerances.

Geometries can be extremely complex and parts may require surface contouring to achieve tight tolerances. A combination of milling and turning may be required to produce the final product. Materials commonly used in this industry include aluminum, stainless steel and brass. This is why CNC machining is required to achieve the precision needed for these applications.

Here are a few examples of communications parts that often require CNC machining:

Access panel frames

Heat sinks

Corrugated speakers

Microwave tower parts

Amplifier housings

RFI Shielding Equipment

3.Versatility of CNC machining

CNC Router machining is often the ideal solution for specialized parts in critical industries that require high precision and accuracy. In addition to the parts listed above, common CNC machined parts are found in a variety of sectors and markets, including cardiac implants, earrings, automotive custom injectors, bio-implantable devices, gears, golf putters, and custom robotic components. CNC machining is an excellent choice for any type of part that requires extremely tight tolerances or involves very complex shapes and geometries, and is commonly used in transportation, sports, medical and robotics, as well as many other specialty applications.
