Complex component machining
Multi-Axis CNC Machining for Complex Parts
Multi-axis milling and mill-turn machining can reduce re-clamping, improve feature-to-feature accuracy and make difficult geometry more practical to manufacture.
- Compound angles, curved surfaces and deep cavities
- Multiple features accessed in fewer setups
- Better repeatability for complex prototypes and production parts
- DFM feedback on workholding, tool access and tolerance risk
Grinding, EDM and Wire EDM Services
Secondary machining capabilities complete the in-house process chain for hardened materials, tight features, difficult geometries and surface requirements.
EDM Machining
Controlled material removal for hard materials, narrow slots, sharp internal features and complex precision details.
Wire EDM
Fine profile cutting for intricate contours, narrow slots, small radii, punches, dies and hardened components.
Grinding
Grinding support precision finishing, repair work, tooling, fixtures and specialized part requirements.
DFM Support For Machined Parts
Good CNC results start before the machine is loaded. SinoCMI can review part design, feature access, tolerance strategy, material and setup planning to reduce avoidable scrap and rework.
Review Geometry
Identify deep pockets, thin walls, sharp internal corners, undercuts and difficult tool access.
Match the Process
Compare 3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis, turning, mill-turn, grinding and EDM options.
Control Tolerances
Separate critical dimensions from general tolerances and plan inspection around functional requirements.
Prepare Production
Confirm material, finish, quantity, fixture strategy, lead time and quality documentation before release.
Materials for Custom Machined Parts
Material selection affects machining stability, part weight, corrosion resistance, electrical performance, surface finish and total cost.
Production-Grade Metal Alloys
Aluminum 6061 and 7075, stainless steel 304 and 316, alloy steel, brass, copper, titanium and Inconel for demanding applications.
Engineering Plastics
PEEK, PTFE, Delrin, nylon, PC, ABS and other engineering plastics for lightweight, insulating, wear-resistant or chemical-resistant parts.
Surface Finish Options
As-machined, bead blasted, polished, anodized, passivated, plated, powder coated and painted finishes can be reviewed with the part requirements.
Inspection and documentation
Quality Assurance for Precision CNC Machining
In-house machining is more valuable when quality requirements are visible from the start. Build inspection and documentation into the RFQ instead of treating them as an afterthought.
- CMM and optical measurement for dimensional verification
- Calipers, micrometers, thread gauges, pin gauges and height gauges
- Roughness testing, hardness testing and material composition analysis
