What are the main uses of precision machining?

It is usually a typical example of mass production in the automotive industry, aerospace parts, shipbuilding parts and the testing of new models and engines, while the main service of mass production in the mold and die industry belongs to single piece and small batch production. The role of precision machining in small batch production is a good way to save time cost, material cost and speed up product marketing cycle.

Small batch production is closely related to hand model. Hand model is the premise of small precision machining. Small precision machining is established on the basis of hand model. Precision machining can meet more personalized product customization to a great extent. In short, precision machining is essential to create key components in many demanding applications.

The finished parts produced by processing are much stricter than those produced by standard NC. This is an excellent solution to meet strict project requirements, such as tight tolerance: with the correct equipment, precision machining can produce parts with a tolerance of less than ± 0.0001 inch. Repeatability: successful precision machining means that parts must be able to repeat the same strict tolerances. Quantity: precision machining practice can meet almost any quantity of demand, from prototype to mass production and general contracting.

It can be used for precision processing of plastics, ceramics, metals, composites, steel, bronze, graphite, glass and other raw materials. A variety of tools can be used for precision cutting and complex raw material removal. These tools vary according to the raw materials. Common tools include milling machines, lathes, electric spark machines (also known as EDM), sawing machines and grinders. A more common manufacturing equipment is computer-controlled heavy machinery, which is used to remove matrix materials and form fine parts. In some cases, high-speed robots and photochemical processes can even be used to achieve the expected results of the end product.
