Benefits of Quality Precision Machining
Outsourcing your fabrication and assembly processes to a local fabricator like Technox gives you the benefit of streamlined, predictable project management while giving you access to a greater range of specialized capabilities as needed. Here are the core advantages our clients have seen from choosing us for CNC machining parts.
Fast, High-Precision Production
Technox provides high-precision CNC machining options that meet or exceed your required quality standards and stay well within project tolerances. CNC machining significantly reduces the risk of human error and can repeatedly produce virtually identical components over long production runs. Not only are the pieces error-free, but the precision means there is less time and material wasted.
Efficiency
In our workshop, we work with multiple 5-axis CNC machining stations. Multi-axis CNC machines can create incredibly intricate components in a fraction of the time of conventional machinery while simultaneously reducing the risk of mistakes. Our machines are incredibly accurate, allowing components to quickly move through the inspection and finishing stages.
Design Versatility
CNC machines are incredibly versatile, with software able to translate complex component designs into precise instructions for guiding the tools. Thus, CNC machines can faithfully repeat the same actions for thousands or even millions of iterations. You can order millions of parts, refine designs without expensive tooling costs, and create a wide catalog of similar components.
What to Know About CNC Machining Parts
To meet the stringent safety and quality requirements of most industries, Technox invests in cutting-edge CNC machining equipment, experienced personnel, and quality control systems. Our CNC machines work with various metals and plastics and can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.0005”. Our advanced equipment, post-processing treatments, and inspection capabilities make it possible to meet high industry-specific standards quickly and efficiently.
Cutting Tools and Strategies
At Technox, we offer a wide range of CNC machining techniques to meet the dynamic needs of nearly every modern industry.
CNC Milling
CNC milling processes hold a workpiece in a stationary position and remove material with a rotating cutting tool. Milling tools include:
- Cutters
- Fly cutters
- Face mills
- Slab mills
- Hollow mills
CNC Drilling
Drilling also uses a rotating cutting tool, but it carves holes into the workpiece rather than removing material from the exterior. CNC drills can create cylindrical holes with drill bits of different shapes and sizes. CNC drilling can pre-drill holes for fasteners and aid assembly.
CNC Turning
In CNC turning, the workpiece is attached to a rotating spindle and cut with a stationary tool. This method typically uses chamfering, parting, knurling, and boring tools.
