In the realm of manufacturing, the CNC machining process, denoted by computer numerical
control machining, is a subtractive method that integrates computerized controls and machine
tools.
Its fundamental principle involves the removal of layers from a solid material block.
The programming specifies the desired cuts in the metal, coordinating with the corresponding
tools and machinery to execute the machining task in an automated manner.
Product Details
CNC machines excel at cutting a wide range of materials, including aluminum, bronze, copper,
ceramics, plywood, various steel types, stone, wood, zinc, and numerous engineering materials.
This versatility makes them perfect for crafting prototypes during product development.
With CNC milling, you can easily fine-tune and make precise adjustments until you achieve the
desired final product, offering accuracy and efficiency throughout the manufacturing process.

Specialist Industries
CNC turning machines excel in precision craftsmanship, fabricating a wide spectrum of parts with
diverse complexities. Among these are shafts and axles, pivotal components in industries such as
automotive and aerospace.
The precision extends to the production of bushings and bearings, crucial for reducing friction and
ensuring smooth rotational movement in mechanical assemblies. CNC turning further facilitates the
creation of connectors, fittings, and fasteners like screws and nuts, serving applications in plumbing,
hydraulic systems, and across various industries.
The technology is also applied in the manufacturing of valves and valve components, contributing to
fluid control systems. Additionally, CNC turning is instrumental in crafting tooling components,
including inserts, toolholders, and bodies, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in machining operations.
In the automotive sector, CNC turning is harnessed for producing engine components, pulleys,
brackets, and specialized parts.
Company Profile
FAQ's
1. Do you offer reverse engineering services or suggest cost saving measures?
We offer reverse engineering services, allowing us to extract design and engineering information
from a wide range of manufactured components. Our expertise goes beyond mere reproduction
– we can aid in designing your part, recommending optimal raw materials, and selecting the
most efficient machining protocols and finishing steps.
With the end-use of the part in focus, we often identify minor design adjustments, material
changes, or tolerance modifications that can potentially reduce the cost of your part without
compromising quality or performance.
2. Can make design drawings for me?
Unfortunately, we don't offer an independent product design service. However, for all approved
orders, we provide a Design for Manufacturing review. This involves collaborating with our clients
to enhance their 2D and 3D drawings, ensuring better manufacturability, resolving design conflicts,
and reducing production costs. Learn more about preparing your CAD drawings for manufacturing.
3. How do I know my design will be kept confidential?
Rest assured, we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your design. We are willing
to sign and uphold any non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement. Additionally, our factory strictly
prohibits the taking of photographs of a customer's product without explicit permission.
Ultimately, our reputation is built on years of working with numerous unique designs, ensuring that
no proprietary information is ever disclosed to third parties.
4. What formats of the files can you accept?
We can accept most of the 3D file formats like SolidWorks (.sldprt)/ ProE(.prt) / IGES(.igs) /
STEP (.stp). We can also use 2D drawing (.pdf) or AutoCAD (.dwg) for quote against the parts with
simple structure. All the other files formats are not listed above but can be read in AutoCAD/ProE/
SolidWorks/ will be also fine for us.
