It is usually a typical example of large-scale production in the automotive industry, aerospace parts, shipbuilding parts, and testing of new models and engines, while the main service of large-scale production in the mold and die industry belongs to single piece small batch production. The role of precision machining in small batch production is a good way to save time and material costs, and accelerate product marketing cycles.
Small batch production is closely related to hand models, which are the prerequisite for small precision machining. Small precision machining is established on the basis of hand models. Precision machining can largely meet more personalized product customization needs. In short, precision machining is essential for creating critical components in many demanding applications.
The finished parts produced by processing are much stricter than those produced by standard CNC. This is an excellent solution to meet strict project requirements, such as tight tolerances: with the correct equipment, precision machining can produce parts with tolerances less than ± 0.0001 inches. Repeatability: Successful precision machining means that parts must be able to repeat the same strict tolerances between them. Quantity: Precision machining practice can meet almost any quantity demand, from prototypes to large-scale production and general contracting.
It can be used for precision machining of various raw materials such as plastics, ceramics, metals, composite materials, steel, bronze, graphite, glass, etc. Multiple tools are available for precision cutting and complex material removal. These tools vary depending on the raw materials used. Common tools include milling machines, lathes, electric discharge machines (also known as EDM), sawing machines, and grinding machines. A more common manufacturing equipment is computer-controlled heavy machinery used to remove matrix materials and form fine parts. In some cases, high-speed robots and photochemical processes can even be used to achieve the expected results of the final product.
