Introduction to CNC Parts Processing
CNC parts processing is at the forefront of modern manufacturing, allowing for the precise and efficient creation of components that meet the exacting demands of various industries. By automating machining processes through Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems, manufacturers can achieve unparalleled accuracy and repeatability. At ZK Precision Technology, we combine advanced CNC technologies with expertise to deliver tailored solutions for every client’s unique needs.
Key CNC Machining Techniques
CNC Milling
CNC milling employs rotary cutting tools to remove material from a stationary workpiece. This technique excels in creating complex shapes and achieving tight tolerances, making it essential for intricate components.
CNC Turning
Using a lathe, CNC turning rotates the workpiece against cutting tools to produce cylindrical parts. It is particularly useful for manufacturing shafts, bushings, and other symmetrical components.
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)
EDM uses electrical discharges to shape hard metals into precise forms, enabling the production of components with fine details and smooth finishes.
Materials Used in CNC Parts Processing
Metals
Popular metals include aluminum, steel, titanium, and brass. These materials are chosen for their strength, durability, and versatility across various applications.
