High Precision: Tolerances down to ±0.005mm (depending on machine & material).
Repeatability: Ideal for mass production of identical parts.
Material Versatility: Metals (aluminum, steel, titanium), plastics, composites, and wood.
Complex Geometries: 3D contours, deep cavities, threaded holes, and fine details.
High Accuracy & Consistency: Better than manual or conventional machining.
Fast Production: Automated tool changes reduce downtime.
Flexible Design Changes: CAD/CAM software allows quick adjustments.
Wide Material Options: From soft plastics to hardened steel.
(1) CNC Milling Uses rotating multi-point cutting tools to remove material. 3-axis, 4-axis, or 5-axis machines for different complexity levels. Applications: Engine blocks, molds, aerospace brackets.
(2) CNC Turning Rotates the workpiece while a single-point tool cuts (for cylindrical parts). Lathe machines (Swiss-type for ultra-precision). Applications: Shafts, bolts,nozzles.
(3) CNC Drilling & Tapping Creates holes and internal threads with high accuracy. Applications: PCB boards, flanges, hydraulic components.
(4) CNC Grinding/EDM/Wire Cutting Grinding: Ultra-fine surface finishing (Ra 0.1-0.4μm). EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining): For hard metals using sparks. Wire Cutting: Precision cutting of conductive materials.
