Technology has had a major impact on all aspects of our lives. Increasingly, our products originate in facilities utilizing the most advanced equipment possible. From agricultural producers to machine shops, the technology works hard to ensure products emerge that meet our needs and satisfy the requirements and specifications of various agencies. CNC plays a role in providing the controls requisite for precision production machining.
What Is Production or High-Volume Machining?
This type of production involves cutting a workpiece into the specified component or required shape in a controlled manner or method. This is high-volume machining requiring exacting control of the emerging parts. Computer numerical control (CNC) is often a major component of accomplishing this in as precise and repeatable a manner as possible. Among the machining tools that the process may incorporate are:
* Grinders
* Lathes
* Mills
* Routers
Using aluminum, brass, bronze, stainless steel and steel, machine shops can produce what the customer requires in high-volumes with precision.
Benefits of CNC Precision Production or High-Volume Machining
By combining production machining with CNC, the machine shop is able to provide customers in demanding industries. The advantages to the machine shop and its customers include:
* Production of complex shapes and contours
* Exact repeatability of the shapes and/or components
* Precision of specifications
* Tight tolerances
* Speed without reducing the requisite quality
* Reduction in waste
Machine shops do not achieve such results as easily using manual machining.
Precision Production Machining
When a machine shop combines the latest form of technology with advanced methods, it allows them to address the increasingly particular demands of their customers. No matter what the customers require in terms of specifications or tolerance, the modern machine shop is able to adapt their machining techniques and equipment to provide production machining services capable of meeting the exacting demands of aerospace, medical devices, and other industries.
