Custom CNC Precision Parts Processing CNC Machining Part CNC Turning Brass Parts

CNC machining, short for computer numerical control machining, is a subtractive manufacturing

process that utilizes a fusion of computerized controls and machine tools to systematically remove

layers from a solid material block.

The programmed instructions for desired metal cuts are aligned with specific tools and machinery,

orchestrating the machining process in an automated manner.

Product Details

Brass is renowned for its exceptional machinability, making it an excellent choice for CNC machining.

Its versatility and desirable properties extend its application across various industries, including

plumbing, electrical, and medical.

Brass offers impressive durability and is favored for its ease of workability. Its adaptability and

simplicity in machining make it a prevalent choice for producing parts across a wide range of

applications.

Brass Finishing and Post-Processing

360 Brass has a shiny yellow finish that varies depending on surface roughness.

It can be hand-polished to increase its sheen, or media blasted for more of a matte texture.

Applications of CNC Brass Parts

CNC turning machines exhibit impressive versatility in the production of various parts with

different complexities.

Some examples of parts that can be efficiently made using CNC turning include:

1. Shafts and Axles:
CNC turning is well-suited for the production of long, cylindrical parts like shafts and axles,

commonly used in industries such as automotive and aerospace.

2. Bushings and Bearings:
Precision-made bushings and bearings, crucial for reducing friction and facilitating smooth

rotational movement in mechanical assemblies, can be manufactured using CNC turning.

3. Connectors and Fittings:
CNC turning enables the production of connectors, fittings, and couplings utilized in plumbing,

hydraulic systems, and electrical applications.

FAQ's

1. What are the minimum and maximum dimensions you can machine?

Our CNC machining services encompass CNC milling (3-axis, 3+2-axis, and 5-axis) as well as

turning. For 3/3+2-axis CNC milling, we can machine parts with dimensions up to

2000 x 1500 x 200 mm (78.7 x 59.0 x 7.8 in.).

In the case of 5-axis milling, the maximum part size is 650 x 650 x 300 mm (25.5 x 25.5 x 11.8 in.).

For CNC turning, we can handle parts with a maximum diameter of 431 mm (17 in.) and a length of

990 mm (39 in.).

Recommended minimum part dimensions are approximately 10 x 10 x 10 mm (0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 in.),

and feature dimensions should not go below 0.5 mm.

It's important to note that our platform has a limitation of a maximum part size of 1000 mm (39 in.).

If your project requires dimensions beyond this limit, please contact our sales team to discuss your

specific needs.

2. How much does CNC machining cost?

The cost of CNC machining is influenced by factors such as complexity, quantity, and lead time.

For an accurate assessment, the best approach is to submit a 3D CAD model, allowing us to provide

an interactive quote along with design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback.

Notably, our use of proprietary software and automated fixturing processes eliminates upfront

non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs. This streamlined approach makes purchasing quantities

as low as 1 to 200 parts cost-effective.

While prices may be comparable to or slightly higher than 3D printing, CNC machining offers

superior material properties and surface finishes.

3. What's the general surface texture of CNC milled and turned parts?

In the realm of CNC machining, the general surface texture of as-machined milled parts typically

exhibits a roughness of approximately 3.2μm (1.6μm for relatively new machines).

On the other hand, turned parts can achieve a finer surface with a roughness of 0.8μm.

Notably, this level of surface quality is attained without the need to adjust the machining speed.
