Core Machining Technologies
Turning
- Process Overview: Turning involves rotating a workpiece on a spindle while a cutting tool removes material to create cylindrical parts with varying shapes and sizes.
- Applications: Shafts, bushings, and components requiring rotational symmetry.
- Materials: Steel, aluminum, brass, and exotic alloys.
Milling
- Process Overview: Milling uses rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece, producing complex shapes and features.
- Applications: Precision parts, gears, and components requiring intricate detailing.
- Materials: Stainless steel, titanium, composites, and plastics.
Grinding
- Process Overview: Grinding uses abrasive wheels to remove material and achieve tight tolerances and smooth finishes on surfaces.
- Applications: Tool and die components, aerospace parts, and high-precision molds.
- Materials: Hard metals, ceramics, and heat-treated alloys.
Advanced Machining Technologies
CNC Machinings
- Process Overview: CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining uses computer-controlled machines to automate and optimize the machining process for high accuracy and consistency.
- Applications: Complex geometries, rapid prototyping, and production of custom components.
- Materials: Virtually all metals and plastics.
EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining)
- Process Overview: EDM utilizes electrical discharges to shape conductive materials into complex forms, maintaining tight tolerances without direct contact between the tool and the workpiece.
- Applications: Dies, molds, and components requiring intricate shapes and fine details.
- Materials: Hardened steel, titanium, and tungsten carbide.
Waterjet Cutting
- Process Overview: Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure jet of water mixed with abrasive particles to precisely cut through a wide range of materials.
- Applications: Thick metals, stone, glass, and composite materials.
- Materials: Steel, aluminum, granite, and ceramics.
