High Precision CNC Machining Parts Brass CNC Machining Parts Milling CNC
Component Parts
CNC machining, which stands for computer numerical control machining, is a subtractive
manufacturing technique that involves the integration of computerized controls and machine tools.
This combination is employed to methodically eliminate layers from a solid material block.
Programmed instructions dictate the desired metal cuts and correspond to specific tools and
machinery, enabling the automated execution of the machining process.
Product Details
Brass, an alloy composed of copper and zinc, is a highly sought-after material for various
components. Its exceptional dimensional accuracy, sturdiness, durability, and resistance to
corrosion make it a widely demanded choice for copper-based products.
We specialize in the production of a diverse range of brass turned parts, including sensor
components, heat transfer elements, conductive elements, connectors, and more.
Our advanced CNC lathes and automatic lathe processing facilities enable us to
precision-machine brass parts with tight tolerances and surface finishes tailored to customer
specifications.
Additionally, we subject the parts to rigorous heat treatment and chemical plating processes,
enhancing their mechanical properties and wear resistance to ensure optimal performance in
accordance with the functional requirements of our customers' products.

Applications of CNC Brass Parts
1. Woodworking Industries:
CNC machining is extensively employed in the woodworking sector, particularly for the production
of wooden furniture. This application offers significant time and cost savings compared to manual
carving, enabling the creation of furniture with intricate geometries that might otherwise require
the expertise of a master woodworker.
2. Lettering and Engraving Systems:
CNC machining is utilized in applications where heavy-duty material removal is not necessary.
Instead, engraving tools are employed to mark patterns or text onto the surface of a part.
This versatile application is used for artistic purposes or for serializing parts.
3. Electrical Industry:
The electrical industry relies on CNC machining for a diverse range of applications.
This includes machining component mounting holes into printed circuit boards and creating
aluminum or copper heat sinks for heat-generating electrical components.
CNC machining ensures precision and efficiency in the production of crucial electrical parts.
4. Pharmaceutical Industry:
CNC machines play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry, manufacturing precise
equipment used in the production of pharmaceutical products. Applications range from extremely
precise metering pumps to ingredient-dispensing nozzles and packaging components.
5. Food and Beverage Industry:
CNC machining is integral to the fast-moving consumer goods industry, contributing to the
production of custom material-handling machinery. CNC-machined parts play a crucial role in
enhancing the efficiency and precision of these machines.
Additionally, CNC machining is involved in the creation of injection molds for food packaging,
ensuring high-quality and precisely molded packaging for food and beverage products.

FAQ's
1. CNC Machining Parameters: A Brief Overview
Machining parameters in CNC are primarily established by the machine operator during the
generation of G-code. Key parameters include the build size and accuracy of CNC machines,
distinguishing them notably from 3D printers.
CNC milling systems boast a substantial build area, with the capability to machine parts up to
2,000 x 800 x 100 mm (78” x 32” x 40”). Meanwhile, CNC turning systems specialize in machining
parts with a diameter of up to Ø 500 mm (Ø 20’’).
Precision and tight tolerances are hallmarks of CNC machining. Achieving accuracy levels surpassing
half the diameter of an average human hair (± 0.025 mm or .001’’) is well within the capabilities of
CNC machines. In the absence of specified tolerances in the technical drawing, operators typically
machine parts with an accuracy of 0.125 mm (.005’’).
2. How much do CNC machining materials cost?
The cost of CNC machining materials is diverse and depends on the chosen material, with variations
in prices based on their physical properties. A wide range of materials is available for CNC machining,
each carrying a distinct price tag.
Aluminum 6061 stands out as the most economical choice for producing metal parts. If affordability
is a priority, ABS is the most budget-friendly option. The ease of machining also influences costs,
as seen with stainless steel.
Due to its hardness compared to aluminum, machining stainless steel is more challenging,
contributing to an elevated total cost.
3. How long does delivery time and quotation take?
The delivery time for parts is categorized based on complexity:
Low-complexity parts: 2-3 days
Moderate-complexity parts: 2-5 days
High-complexity parts: 5-15 days
Quoting time is dependent on the design complexity:
Simple designs: 1 business day or faster
Moderate to complex designs: 3+ business days
