Acetal (acetal), Polyoxymethylene (POM), Polyacetal (polyacetal), Polyformaldehyde, Saigang, these are its names, and the common ones are black and white. Despite being opaque in nature, POM is available in a variety of colors.
PEEK (polyetherimide) is a high-performance engineering plastic material with excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, mechanical strength and wear resistance. PEEK material is usually used in applications under high temperature, high pressure, high load and harsh environment, such as aerospace, medical equipment, automotive industry, electronic equipment, oil and gas exploration and other fields. It is also widely used in manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, CNC machining, and injection molding.
Tolerance is the acceptable range for the designer to determine the size based on the form, fit and function of the CNC part. Understanding how CNC machining tolerances affect cost, choice of manufacturing process, inspection options and materials can help you better determine CNC machining product designs.
CNC machining is the main process for producing brass parts in many industries. brass has good ductility, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, and various CNC machined brass parts are widely used in various industries such as automobiles, aerospace, and medical treatment. brass is one of the materials that are easy to CNC process.
A comparison of copper and brass reveals the different properties of the two materials. It is therefore also easier to select the correct material. For CNC machining projects that don't know how to choose materials, come and contact us!
CNC lathe is one of the most widely used CNC machine tools. It is mainly used for machining symmetrical rotary parts, such as shaft parts, inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of disk parts, inner and outer conical surfaces with arbitrary cone angles, complex inner and outer curved surfaces of rotation, and cylindrical and conical threads.
Austenitic 304 stainless steel is a very common stainless steel with corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and overall mechanical properties. Widely used in food equipment, chemical equipment and nuclear industry equipment.
In the process of thread CNC turning, it is often necessary to reinstall the tool and set the tool due to the wear and tear of the thread tool. The quality of the tool setting directly affects the accuracy of the turning thread, especially the repair turning of the thread, which requires secondary clamping The second tool setting restricts the machining efficiency of CNC lathe machining threads.
