A CNC milling machine has a table that automatically moves (or rotates) the workpiece in different planes so that the tool can work on it.
A thread is a continuous protrusion and groove formed along a helix on a cylindrical or conical surface with the same cross-section and specified profile. Among various mechanical products, threaded parts are widely used. It is mainly used as connecting parts, fastening parts, transmission parts and measuring parts, etc.
Tolerance in CNC machining refers to the allowable variation of a parameter within a specific range. This parameter can be a variety of measurable physical properties such as temperature, humidity, noise level, stress, solar radiation rate and velocity, etc., or it can be a physical dimension, such as the size of the space.
Polyoxymethylene homopolymer (POM) is an impact and abrasion resistant semi-crystalline thermoplastic. 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!
