Machined Components

Applications
Wear strips, scrolls, wear bends, bushes, rollers, scrapers, gears, presses, food-grade components, and OEM parts are just a few of the items available.

We need drawings or a sample to work with in order to machine your parts. If this is not possible, we will come to your site to gather the relevant information. Please get in touch with us to discuss your needs.

What exactly are machined parts?
There are machined pieces everywhere. All kinds of things, from microscopic metal fasteners to components for aviation engines, have been constructed utilizing the machining technique. But what precisely is machining, and what is a machined object?

When we refer to “machined parts,” we mean something more particular than “machine-made objects.” We are referring to components made using cutting tools like mills, lathes, and routers. Though they all operate differently, each machine’s basic function is to remove pieces of the workpiece, a block of the element, using a sharp cutting tool.

Even by that definition, there are numerous techniques to manufacture machined pieces. A machinist, a competent expert who operates machining equipment, can do the procedure manually by using a machine similar to a mill to shape the workpiece manually. Another option is to use digital technology, where a motorized CNC machine autonomously cuts the machined pieces following computer commands.

Most sophisticated or custom-machined items are now produced using CNC machines. However, some jobs still require manual machining since it might be quicker than developing a digital design and programming the digital equipment.

What are the advantages of machined parts?

There are certain advantages of machined parts. They are:

• One of their main benefits is that there is no minimum order quantity for machined parts.
• Because they may be produced as one-offs, machined parts are ideal and reasonably priced as prototypes. Additionally, because machining is quicker than moulding, R&D teams may quickly create several iterations of a part, put it through any necessary testing, and then go on to production.
• Shapes and sizes for machined items might vary greatly. This is because CNC machining is not restricted by strict moulding design limitations like thin walls and tapering; machined objects can be thick and sturdy, yet their features can also be great and detailed.
• High standards can be achieved while manufacturing machined parts. The ability for consumers to define tolerances that the machinist must meet is maybe even more significant. As a result, the machinist or machine operator can spend more time perfecting intricate features and pieces with tight tolerances.

How to Design Machined Components?

It is usually advisable to utilize design for manufacturing (DfM) principles, which call for designing parts with the intended manufacturing process. It is necessary to design parts for machining differently from, say, those for 3D printing.

As long as basic guidelines are followed, designing machined components is fortunately not particularly challenging. Below is a list of these regulations.

• Undercuts are striations in the workpiece that can’t be made using conventional cutting instruments. They demand specialized cutting tools, such as T-shaped ones, and unique design considerations.
• Machined parts cannot tolerate exceptionally thin walls, in contrast to moulded parts, which distort if the wall thickness is too great. If thin walls are necessary for the design, the designers should either avoid them or employ an injection moulding procedure.
• It’s crucial to remember that holes and cavities depend on the cutting tools when designing machined items. A part can have cavities and pockets machined into it to a depth four times the cavity’s breadth. Because of the necessary cutting tool diameter, deeper cavities will invariably have fillets—rounded edges as opposed to pointed ones.
