Enhancing the Industrial Importance of CNC Turned Components

Successful and productive manufacturing is highly dependent on the quality of machine tools and components being used. One of the major hindrances of production is usually equipment break down resulting to frequent interruptions in processing. In response to this challenge, engineers and managers have resorted to use of the highest quality components of machines in an effort to reduce the frequency of breakdowns.  The use of the Swiss type CNC machines has been a major breakthrough for them because these machines are able to eliminate secondary processes and achieve high quality machining.

Some important quality features of these machine turned parts include;

• Resistance to oxidization; this is a crucial element because most wear and tear results from corrosion. Parts manufactured using the CNC technology are high quality and the materials exhibit resistance to damage hence longer life.
• Higher performance related to reduced mechanical wear and tear.
• Durability; this result from mechanical strength of the components and resistance to various forms of corrosion.
• Precise dimension; this is a key process in manufacturing of equipment components. Poor machining results to incorrectly fitting parts which can lead to damage of other components of the machine.  

 

Swiss CNC equipments have the ability to machine parts of very small diameters up to 20mm. What is more interesting is that they can perform so many operations simultaneously thus increasing the efficiency of the production process. These equipments can machine various materials including stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and even alloy steel.

Investment Casting Parts is used in lost wax process results in production of high precision items and components that result in accurate shapes and parts. This form of molding process reduces the level of machining required and results in durable and dimensionally accurate components.

A wide variety of items can be manufactured through this investment process. Some of the advantages of this process include ability to produce intricate formations, extra smooth surfaces are obtained, production of unmachinable parts and can be a replacement to die casting. This method is used heavily in the airline industry and even power generation and auto motive sectors in making of gears, turbines, impellors, special rods and metallic items requiring very high precision.

This is a value addition process done by manufacturers where by a particular machine component is comprised various parts. Some sub assembly parts include die castings, pressed parts and even moulded parts, done according to customer specifications.

This is a process of forcing liquid metal, on high pressure into a mold/ cavity created using steel dies. Die cast products are made using non ferrous metal like Zinc, copper, aluminum, magnesium or even lead.

The quality of machine components is a major factor in engineering and one that must be handled cautiously. Use of CNC made machine components largely reduces the risk of machine failures and disruptions in production processes. Swiss type automatic CNC machines are the best for ensuring quality components are produced.
