Machining Capabilities
|
|
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Drilling
|
|
Suppliers have equipment for drilling holes into parts.
|
| |
Milling
|
|
Milling machines are versatile devices that can perform many different machining operations. Parts are moved into a rotating cutter which remains fixed in space.
|
| |
Turning
|
|
Turning is performed on a lathe. Lathes are used to perform several operations, almost all of which involve the rotation of the piece part. The piece part is made to rotate while a cutting tool, held in a holder, is moved into the rotating piece part. Some of the operations that can be performed on a lathe include: facing, turning, boring, cutting a taper, and thread cutting.
|
| |
Laser Machining
|
|
Laser machining is a material removal process accomplished by laser / material interaction. These processes include laser drilling, laser cutting and grooving, marking, and scribing.
|
| |
Screw Machining
|
|
Screw machining is a turning process used for the rapid and accurate production of duplicate parts from a variety of materials.
|
| |
Swiss Machining
|
|
Swiss screw machining is used when high-finish, close-tolerance bearing surfaces are requires on small shafts. It provides a higher-quality product than a ground finish.
|
| |
Water / Abrasive Jet Machining
|
|
In abrasive machining, a jet of water and abrasive is directed at the material to be machined. The jet drags the abrasive through the material in a curved path. The resulting centrifugal forces on the particles press them against the workpiece. The cutting action is a grinding process where the forces and motions are provided by water, rather than a solid grinding wheel. The result is a very small width of cut, allowing for precise machining.

Secondary Operations
|
|
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Annealing / Stress Relieving
|
|
Plastic annealing or stress relieving is used to relieve residual stresses imposed during machining, welding, forming or other manufacturing processes. Residual stress can later cause curling, warping or cracking of the component.
|
| |
Painting / Coating
|
|
Painting and coating apply decorative and/or protective finishes or layers.
|
| |
Polishing
|
|
Companies perform plastic-polishing operations by using heat or flame, chemical, vapor or mechanical processes. Polishing and buffing processes are used to smooth and brighten plastic surfaces. Polished, clear plastic is important in products that require transparency (e.g., windows, guards, and optical components).
Mechanical polishing buffs parts or components with abrasive compounds, abrasive slurries, or fine-grit fixed-abrasives such as fining pads or film-backed coated abrasives. Mechanical methods can be applied to both thermoset and thermoplastic parts.
Flame-polishing melts a thin surface layer, and is used with both thermoplastics and glasses. Often, chemical and vapor-polishing methods involve proprietary technologies.
|
| |
Welding
|
|
Welding joins parts by melting and reforming a bond between materials, with or without additional filler metal.

AS 9000
|
|
AS 9000 defines quality management system (QMS) requirements for suppliers to the aerospace industry. It was developed by major aerospace manufacturers and published by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). AS 9000 is based on ISO 9001, but includes over 80 additional requirements for the aerospace industry.
