The basic form of precision machining is to take a larger piece of material and then cut off excess parts to produce a smaller piece of material. Use material removal procedures to replace larger materials in some way. This small piece of material will be accurately located where it needs to be and can be used to successfully complete its work. Usually, it involves cutting materials to precise shapes and sizes, so multiple types of machinery are required.
Precision machining is an emerging field in the manufacturing industry, and its work affects our daily lives. With the development of manufacturing driven by technology, precision machining will produce many objects of various sizes that we use in our daily lives, and every small part of the object requires a certain level of mechanical skills.
This type of processing method is the process of cutting various materials into precise specifications. This process typically involves removing excess parts from metal components (or other materials) and reshaping them to a high tolerance level. In short, precision machining reconstructs most materials into smaller and more refined components.
What are the main uses of precision machining?
Usually, it is a typical example of large-scale production in the automotive industry, aerospace parts, shipbuilding parts, and testing of new models and engines, while the main service of large-scale production in the mold and mold industry belongs to single piece small batch production. The role of precision machining in small batch production is a good method to save time costs, material costs, and accelerate product marketing cycles.
Small batch production is closely related to hand models, which are the prerequisite for high-precision machining. On the basis of hand models, high-precision machining is established. Precision machining can largely meet more personalized product customization needs. In short, precision machining is essential for creating the most critical components in many demanding applications.
The finished parts produced by processing are much stricter than those produced by standard CNC. This is an excellent solution to meet strict project requirements, such as tight tolerances: with the correct equipment, precision machining can produce parts with tolerances less than ± 0.0001 inches. Repeatability: Successful precision machining means that parts must be able to repeat the same strict tolerances between them. Quantity: Precision machining practice can meet almost any quantity requirement, from prototype to large-scale production and general contracting.
Can be used for precision machining of various raw materials such as plastics, ceramics, metals, composite materials, steel, bronze, graphite, glass, etc. Multiple tools can be used for precision cutting and complex raw material removal. These tools vary depending on the raw materials used. Common tools include milling machines, lathes, electric discharge machines (also known as EDM), saws, and grinders. A more common manufacturing equipment is computer-controlled heavy-duty machinery used to remove matrix materials and form fine parts. In some cases, high-speed robots and photochemical processes can even be used to achieve the expected results of the final product.
