Precision CNC milling is a VIP service we launch for some buyers who have extremely high demands for precision and quality of parts. The biggest advantage of this service is that we can manufacture micron-level, ultra-precision, near-zero tolerance parts for you.
WHAT IS PRECISION CNC MILLING?
This refers to the use of people using CNC mills to create small tolerance parts. In the CNC machining industry, when the word “precision” is mentioned, people will naturally think of “tolerance”. When CNC machines are used for custom-machined parts, tolerances are often used to express the deviation between the physical dimensions of the custom-machined part and the dimensions specified by the customer. It is worth noting that the machining accuracy of CNC machine tools will directly affect the tolerances of parts. Milling machining precision parts not only requires experienced employees to operate but also requires the use of special CNC machines.
Precision machining means a high-cost CNC machining budget. Therefore, we generally do not recommend that customers have too high precision requirements for parts, as this will only increase CNC processing costs. In the CNC machining industry, although there is a saying of 0 tolerance, CNC parts with 0 tolerance almost do not exist. We love this industry and are happy to accept the extreme challenge of 0 tolerance, but considering the customer’s budget, we do not recommend the abuse of precision manufacturing. In addition to CNC milling, our CNC machining services also include CNC turning, laser engraving, EDM, CNC plasma cutting, etc. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the difference between precision milling and ordinary milling.
- Unlike the milling cutters used in ordinary milling machines, these CNC-machined high-precision parts require specially customized milling cutters, which are usually made of special materials and have extremely high cutting forces.
- The equipment used for high-precision milling is different from the equipment used for ordinary CNC milling, and its functions are also different. For relatively simple flat parts, a 3-axis CNC milling machine can be used, but for super complex special-shaped parts, a 5-axis CNC milling machine must be used.
- CNC precision milling is much more difficult than ordinary CNC milling, which usually requires a very experienced CNC machinist to operate.
- high cost. Since ultra-precision milling is a very challenging task, it requires a lot of investment, not just time and money, but also manpower, materials, equipment, etc.
- Precision-milled parts are often non-standard parts with unique uses and are usually only suitable for low-volume manufacturing.
CNC precision milling often means high-cost CNC milling services and tight tolerance. This manufacturing method is often used to manufacture ultra-precision electronic instrument accessories, medical device accessories, etc. Among the high-precision CNC machining service options we provide you, CNC milling is not the only solution. If your budget is limited, you can also consider mold processing, metal stamping, sheet metal, and other manufacturing methods.
