Machining Precision Aerospace Parts

The term CNC, short for computer numerical control, characterizes the technology at the core of

CNC machining, a process where machining operations are guided and managed by a computer.

This computerized approach enables the efficient production of parts with heightened speed,

accuracy, precision, and the capability to achieve intricate geometries beyond the reach of manual

machining.

Moreover, CNC machining diminishes the reliance on manual labor for machining tasks that would

traditionally be performed by humans. While individuals are not directly involved in the physical

machining of each part, their involvement is pivotal in programming and operating CNC machines

to ensure the smooth execution of every operation.

Typical Applications of CNC Turning

CNC turning services are indispensable in several key industries, with a significant impact on

transportation sectors like aerospace, automotive, mass transit, rail and locomotive, military,

and trucking.

Within these realms, CNC machines are instrumental in crafting essential transportation equipment,

ranging from headnuts and gear blanks to bearing blocks, levers, axles, and rotors.

In the construction industry, CNC machines are harnessed to produce robust bolts and screws,

crafted from materials like stainless steel and aluminum, crucial for handling heavy-duty applications.

Furthermore, CNC turning services are pivotal in the manufacturing of diverse auto parts,

encompassing engine components like cylinder heads, connecting rods, and camshafts, transmission

parts including shafts and rings, as well as suspension components like sway bars, control arms,

and tie rod ends.

The aviation sector also benefits significantly from CNC turned parts, utilizing them for the

customization and production of probes, joint connectors, fasteners, and engine and aircraft

components, often opting for titanium due to its resilience to extreme temperatures.

FAQ's

1. Factors Influencing CNC Machining Costs:

The cost of CNC machining a part is influenced by several key factors, including:

1. Material: Variations in material costs arise as some materials, such as aluminum, are more

cost-effective to machine than others like Inconel due to increased tool wear and slower cutting

speeds.

2. Complexity: Parts with intricate features incur higher machining costs. Complex surface shapes,

for instance, are notably more expensive to machine compared to flat surfaces.

3. Tolerances: Stringent dimensional tolerances escalate machining costs. Specifying unnecessarily

tight tolerances on non-critical features can contribute to increased CNC machining expenses.

4. Surface Finish: Achieving mirror finishes necessitates specialized tooling and machining

strategies, extending machining time and subsequently increasing costs.

5. Quantity: Low-volume production inherently comes at a higher cost per part than large-volume

production. This is because initial setup and programming costs are distributed over a greater

number of parts in large-volume production.

2. How long does delivery time and quotation take?

The delivery time for parts is determined by their complexity. Parts with low complexity typically

have a lead time of 2-3 days, while moderate complexity extends the lead time to 2-5 days.

High-complexity parts may require 5 to 15 days for delivery. Quoting time varies based on design

complexity, ranging from 1 business day (or faster) for simpler designs to 3+ business days for

more intricate ones. For an assessment and quote for your design, please feel free to reach out to

our team.

3. How quickly can I get my parts?

We can produce quality parts in as little as two weeks if complete 2D and 3D CAD models are

provided. However, more intricate parts with special features may require additional time.
