Scan it. Cut it. That’s the approach many shops would like to take. A new desktop laser scanning system promises to make that a practical reality at low cost. The system allows 3D objects to be digitized so that surface data can be used to create part geometry for toolpath generation. The NextEngine Desktop 3D Scanner from NextEngine Inc. (Santa Monica, California) uses a set of laser “eyes,” digital camera technology and image sensors to capture scan data from multiple, triangulated views. The system’s special software assembles and manipulates the data to create a 3D model suitable for use in a CAM system.

Scanning systems for reverse engineering have been available for years. What sets this new system apart from existing systems is that it is priced and packaged like a consumer electronics product. The hardware consists of a scanning unit (about the size of a cereal box) and a turntable that automates part positioning for scanning. The user interface software, ScanStudio Core, operates the scanner and the turntable. It is priced at $2,495. Two software options, ScanStudio Pro and RapidWorks, provide further capabilities and are priced in the same range.

For the machine shop, desktop scanning is a benefit when the machining process starts with a part—a prototype, a pattern, a model or a free-form “organic” shape carved in the studio or found in nature. CNC machines are designed to produce parts as the end product. The physical object cut from metal is the output. But CNC machines also require input, the numerical part program that gives the proper commands. Digital laser scanning helps bridge the gap from “start part” to end part by providing the “art” (shape geometry) in the middle. According to developers, the desktop scanner makes 3D scanning technology available to virtually any machine shop.

The scanning unit uses arrays of low-power lasers that sweep across an object while 3-megapixel cameras capture scanned data. Multiple sweeps and multiple positionings of the object are usually required to gather a complete 3D scan. The various passes can be displayed and merged in the PC software. Objects with matte white surfaces are easiest to scan; objects with shiny black surfaces are more difficult. The latter may require a powder dusting to reduce reflectiveness.

Objects the size of a soda can or smaller can be scanned in the “macro Surface Milling Inserts mode,” while objects as large as a shoebox can be scanned in the “wide mode.” The roundtable can be used to index smaller objects automatically for multiple scans. Large objects may have to be repositioned by hand. Developers say that, theoretically, there is no limit to the size of the object because any number of scans can be stitched together. Parts fitting within the "wide mode" can be scanned and aligned with one click. Scans from larger parts are semi-automatically aligned with “virtual beads” that the software can use to locate and connect common points in the scanned data for merging. Regardless of the merging process, blending and trimming overlaps is automated, thus speeding what might otherwise be a tedious process.

Scan data can be used to create file formats in three categories—mesh, surface and solid—that WNMG Insert correspond to the level of software acquired by the user. For example, the standard software that comes with the system is adequate for STL formats that can be exported to a CAM system for basic machining. Most shops will be interested in the surface or solid file capabilities because they provide geometry comparable to the models shops often use as input to CAM.

Cemented carbide welding blades are relatively common metal cutting tool blades on cutting machine tools, and are generally used on turning tools and milling cutters.

Nine points of use of cemented carbide welding blades:

1. The structure of the welded cutting tool should have sufficient rigidity. Sufficient rigidity is guaranteed by the maximum allowable external dimensions, and the use of higher-strength steel grades and heat treatment.

2. The cemented carbide blade should be fixed firmly. The cemented carbide welding blade should have sufficient fixation and reliability. It is guaranteed by the knife groove and welding quality. Therefore, the insert groove shape of the blade should be selected according to the shape of the blade and the geometric parameters of the tool.

3. Carefully check the cutter bar. Before welding the blade to the cutter bar, it is necessary to check the blade and the cutter bar. First, check that the blade supporting surface cannot be severely bent. The cemented carbide welding surface must not have a serious carburized layer, and at the same time The dirt on the surface of the cemented carbide blade and the insert groove of the tool bar should also be removed to ensure reliable welding.

4. Reasonable selection of solder. In order to ensure the strength of the soldering, the appropriate solder should be selected. During the soldering process, good wettability and fluidity should be ensured, and air bubbles should be eliminated, VCMT Insert so that the soldering and the alloy soldering surface are fully contacted, and there is no lack of soldering.

5. The correct choice of welding flux is recommended to use industrial borax, which should be dehydrated in a drying furnace before use, then crushed, sieved to remove mechanical debris, and set aside.

6. When using mesh compensation gaskets for welding high-titanium and low-cobalt fine-grain alloys and welding long and thin alloy blades, in order to reduce welding stress, it is recommended to use a thin sheet with a thickness of 0.2-0.5mm or a mesh diameter of 2-3mm The mesh compensation gasket is welded.

7. Correctly adopt the sharpening method. Because the carbide blade is brittle and sensitive to crack formation, the tool should avoid overheating or rapid cooling during the sharpening process, and at the Deep Hole Drilling Inserts same time, choose a suitable grit grinding wheel and a reasonable grinding process , To avoid sharpening cracks and affect the service life of the tool.

8. Correctly install the tool. When installing the tool, the length of the tool head extending from the tool holder should be as small as possible, otherwise it will easily cause tool vibration and damage the alloy sheet.

9. Correct regrinding and grinding of the tool. When the tool is used to achieve normal bluntness, it must be regrinded. After the regrind, the cutting edge and the round corner of the knife must be grinded with oilstone, which will increase the service life of the tool and Safety and reliability.

These 100x magnifications of a 20-rms surface finish produced in identical CD650 workpiece materials show the difference between the effects of a standard power supply (left) and an AE power supply.

With a standard power supply on a wire EDM, stray energy from the cutting process (signified by the glowing light bulb) interacts with contaminants in the dielectric fluid, producing charged particles, shown in red, that attack the cutting edge as well as the top and bottom of the workpiece.

With an AE power supply on a wire EDM, stray energy from the cutting process is eliminated or controlled (signified by the unlit bulb), so there is little or no interaction with contaminants in the dielectric fluid. Particles, shown in white, do not attack the workpiece.

PreviousNext

These problems were intrinsic to the early days of EDMing and continued up through 1990. In 1991, the first compensating power supply circuitry was used for fine finishing on the skim cuts.

Previously, rough cutting was done with DC power for maximum speed and material removal. Fine or skim cutting was then done, at different power settings on an AC electrolysis-limiting power supply, to finish the dimension and, most often, to cover the damage done to the work-piece in roughing.

A true anti-electrolysis (AE) power supply can be used for rough and skim cutting, thus minimizing surface degradation, the material's susceptibility to rust and corrosive action, plus the overall improvements in accuracies and total time required to finish parts.

Since the mid-80s, literally all EDM manufacturers have addressed the finishing power supply issue, with various solutions offered. This is in sharp contrast to the "early" days of EDM's promotion, when speed, speed and more speed were the goals.

Briefly, let's get back to the basics of this critical aspect of EDMing.

What Is Electrolysis?

For the practical application of EDM, electrolysis is the production of chemical changes by the passage of an electrical current through an electrolyte, that is, a nonmetallic electrical conductor through which current is carried by the movement of agitated ions.

In wire EDMing, stray energy in the dielectric fluid, produced by the cutting process itself, interacts with contaminants in the flushing fluid to disrupt the surface of the workpiece.

The chief result of this process in all materials is an increased heat-affected zone, or white layer, on the surface. Depending upon the workpiece material being cut, the visible results of this action will vary, as described above.

The current-carrying EDM wire commonly discharges particles as well as produces the cutting action on the workpiece. The stray current, once thought inevitable, causes detrimental surface effects such as:

bluing of titanium,cobalt binder depletion of carbide,anodic oxidation of aluminum,rusting of ferrous materials, andeventual micro-cracking of all materials.

This last effect had prohibited increased use of wire EDMing in medical, aerospace, aircraft and ordnance applications because that condition would render parts either unsafe or inoperable to the specifications required.

Meeting The Challenge

Thus, the challenge facing EDM builders was to engineer a power supply that would minimize, even eliminate, the interaction of the stray current and contaminants on the workpiece surface. Various builders have taken various tacks to solving this problem. Mitsubishi EDM, for example, combined voltage modulation, advanced transistor pulse circuitry and state-of-the art sensors, plus software improvements to interface the cutting program and actual condition protocol, to develop its patented AE power supply. This combination of technologies indicates the complexity of the problem and the effort required to make progress in this area. However, the benefits are substantial--so substantial that this same builder has made its AE power supply standard equipment on its new X Generation wire EDMs.

Other methods are available, many of which have excellent characteristics, as they all aim at two important goals: namely, to eliminate or dramatically reduce surface degradation while, simultaneously, maintaining productivity on the machine.

Depending upon the EDM wire being used, brass or coated, surface finishes down to 0.5-mm Rmax are now attainable with no significant loss in speed. Doing certain types of wire work will always put a premium on an operator's work rate, and only the individual shop's particular needs can dictate the optimum conditions that should be employed.

However, unlike in the past, EDMers now enjoy more choices and thus fewer compromises when balancing speed versus accuracy and finish. To some extent, largely as the result of better power supplies and control circuitry, shops really can "have it all," or close to it.

The Differences AE Makes

Comparing the surface integrity achievable with and without an AE power supply makes it clear that several electrochemical conditions are occurring on an AE-equipped machine:

Pitting, which occurs with conventional power supply technology, is virtually gone.The heat-affected zone is drastically reduced.Surface corrosion is minimized on all materials.

The net effects of this AE power supply to the typical tool-and-die shop or mold maker are these:

Longer carbide tool life because of less cobalt depletion.Longer steel tool life because of less white layer and surface corrosion.Faster and fewer skim cuts needed to finish any part.Less polishing time and attendant cost because of less surface degradation and better finish out of the tank.

When used in conjunction with the Cemented Carbide Inserts fine finishing circuitry currently available, a true AE power supply can enable wire EDM to tackle the most demanding jobs, ones never thought possible. Clearly the evolution of EDM has been accelerated by the development of anti-electrolysis power supplies, another reason why wire EDM is now considered a viable method for an ever-widening spectrum of jobs in all areas of industry.

Reports From The Real World

One of the first builders to introduce anti-electrolysis (AE) technology, Mitsubishi EDM has had wire machines equipped with AE power supplies in the field long enough for interesting case histories to be gathered. A sample of these indicates the impact that AE technology will have on the typical EDM user.

Chris Shoulder Milling Inserts Gendusa, who runs the EDM operation at Custom Stamping in Covina, California, told his story. "The way we made punches and dies a few years ago seems to be on the decline. We do less and less grinding now. Instead, we use a wire EDM with the AE power supply and experience no recast whatsoever, plus all the micro-cracking problems we had are gone. Typically, we run a variety of micro-grain tungsten carbide, A2/D2 tool steels and some powdered metals. Thin steel frames are stacked and left in the tank for overnight cutting, maybe 18 up to 24 hours. We know the rust would be a problem with that kind of dwell time.

"Other advantages are in the taper and radius dimensioning, where we once needed to dress a grinding wheel and take a lot of time to do the work. All our die work goes to our company stamping plant in Carson City [Nevada], and we've already seen dramatic increases in wear life. We attribute most of that to the AE power supply on our wire EDM."

As for the speed of cutting when using an AE power supply, Pete Grisel of Magnum Diamond in Rapid City, South Dakota, said this: "We do high-precision parts for eye, medical, surgical and other equipment. Typically, we run titanium, stainless 317 and some aluminum. We'll stack our thinnest materials, 0.010-inch 440C stainless, 45 high and cut them in 35 minutes, with ¤0.002-inch accuracy, at 500 pieces per day. We also get a 7 to 8-rms, nearly mirror finish on a corneal shaper we produce." Magnum Diamond, a division of the Chiron Corp., has been running their AE power supply for over two years.

At EDM Labs in Fremont, California, Frank Wenzel runs an AE power supply on a wire EDM used to cut titanium 6AL-4V into an extremely delicate medical device component. "Titanium usually blues, and that problem simply went away with AE. Of course, it's not just cosmetics involved here. This power supply completely eliminated the embrittlement problem, and it's faster. We cut titanium faster with 0.008-inch diameter wire on an AE-equipped machine than we did with 0.01-inch wire before. Even on 50 pieces, that's a big difference."

Another job at EDM Labs involved a very tight cut into a 0.3-inch-high web of titanium material, using 0.004 wire. The part to be formed was 0.0013 inch thick, +0/-0.0003 inch, flat to within 0.0001 inch. "It simply would have been a nightmare to do this job before AE," according to Mr. Wenzel.

For shops where multiple part cutting was usually avoided due to rust build-up on conventional tool steels, no such concern is necessary with AE, reports indicate. Ejector pinholes, for example, can be machined into polished mold cavities without compromising the finish. Mold shops can actually use less expensive materials and get the same results. Less stainless is needed because of the rust avoidance issue. This means that less expensive S7 and H13 steel can be used for molds that are designed to be wire-cut instead of the more expensive 400 series.

At every stage of a technology's evolution, there are always roadblocks to its advancement. In the rapid development of EDM (electrical discharge machining), no hurdle has been more difficult to overcome than the one that is most basic to all machined metal surfaces in a liquid environment: Dissociation of ions caused by electric current passing through the solution, otherwise known as electrolysis or, in the common parlance, rust. Every metal subjected to EDMing is vulnerable to this condition, from the basic tool steels to the most advanced alloys and composite materials.

Electrical discharge machining, as the name implies, creates a certain amount of stray current in the dielectric fluid, by definition. Literally, the instant such current interacts with any contaminants in the solution, surface degradation on the workpiece begins.

Titanium will begin to turn blue, an action caused not by heat, as some suspect, but electrolysis. Aluminum undergoes an anodic oxidation. All iron-based materials simply begin to rust. Sintered materials such as carbides suffer surface degradation, the result of cobalt binder depletion.

Machining is an intricate art form, which means that in order to do the task successfully, you are going to want the appropriate instruments. Making anything out of aluminium necessitates the use of a particular set of end mills, regardless of whether the maker is a hobbyist or a professional. Milling cutters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and one of those shapes, known as an end mill, is a cutting tool used in industrial milling applications. When VNMG Insert compared to the drill bit, it differs in the application it serves, the geometry of its design, and the way it is manufactured. Milling bits, in contrast to drill bits, may normally cut in all directions, while certain milling bits are unable to cut in the axial direction. A drill bit’s cutting ability is limited to the axial plane. In milling applications such as profile milling, tracer milling, face milling, and plunging, end mills are among the tools that are used.

Are you looking for end mills from various brands that are now available in the USA market; such as YG-1, Kennametal, or M.A. Ford, but you are unsure of where to begin your search? We have compiled the hot selling end mills in the United States of America to make it easier for you to choose the right one.

The most popular products are the following:

Four Flute Flat End Mill

All end milling procedures need the use of end mills with four flutes. These Four Flute flat end mills have a base material that has been chosen for its ultrafine particles, and they are coated with Pilates (gray smoke). Although four flute mills have a smaller flute volume than mills with more flutes, four flutes are the most frequent number of flutes. A quicker feed rate is possible because to the increased number of flutes. Because there are so many chips in such a small area, it is possible that they may not perform as well in grooving operations. Appropriate for use in the general processing of 45 steel, low carbon steel, pre-hardened steel, as well as stainless steel. For typical milling tasks such as cutting slots, profiling, and routing, four flute flat end mills are utilised. These mills will provide a crisp edge at the bottom of the slots and pockets of the workpiece.

Up-cut, four-flute, non-center cutting end mills are what are known as four-flute flat end mills. Perfect for use with steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, alloys, brass, and other materials that aren’t metallic. Flat end mills with four flutes may be used to machine steels, tool steels, and cast iron. These end mills come in a range of profiles and key types, each of which is important to the result of the CNC machining application you are using.

The flutes of the four flute flat end mills are the most distinguishable feature of the tool. These deep grooves in the tool permit chip production and evacuation. To put it another way, flutes are the section of the four flute flat end mills anatomy that make it possible for it to cut on its edge. When choosing an end mills, the number of flutes is an important factor to take into account. In general, the flutes, which refers to the empty area between the cutting edges, will be higher when the flute count is smaller. This gap reduces the tool’s strength, but it also makes it possible to produce bigger chips with deeper depths of cut, which is good for working with materials like aluminum that are soft or sticky. When working with tougher materials like steel, tool strength becomes a more important consideration, and as a result, greater flute counts are often used like four flute flat end mills. There are several different manufacturers in the United States, such as YG-1, Kennametal, and M.A. Ford, who provide a wide selection of four flutes end mills in a range of sizes and shapes to cater to the requirements of each individual task. The four flute end mills of different manufacturers, including those listed above, are also very hot selling in the USA and America. You are free to shop according to your requirements.

For Polishing Aluminum Milling Cutters

In each machining process, surface quality is one of the most important factors that has to be taken into mind. The bulk of attention was concentrated on perfecting the optimization of the machining settings so that the surface could be polished to a higher standard. Recent improvements have forced the demand for great efficiency in the machining of aluminum because of the rising stiffness of the machine tools, the work piece, and the tool clamping mechanisms. This has necessitated the necessity for high levels of productivity. A resurgence in interest in the process of polishing aluminum is being fueled in part by a growing awareness of the need of environmental protection. The technical capability essential for the production of high-quality 45 Degree Helix Angle Inch End Milling Cutters for Aluminum The process of polishing is experiencing constant development in the United States, and this development process is continuing.

Milling Cutters for polishing Aluminum are manufactured with a DLC coating that is very resistant to wear and with a specific sharpening that allows for getting a very sharp edge designed to polish and obtain cutting surfaces with a high level of brightness or transparency depending on the material of the work piece. For polishing aluminum milling cutters are manufactured with a DLC coating that is very resistant to wear and with a specific sharpening that allows for getting a very sharp edge designed to polish and obtain cutting surfaces. Milling Cutters for polishing aluminum are manufactured with a DLC coating that is very resistant to wear, and with a specific sharpening that allows for getting a very sharp edge designed to polish and obtain cutting. These characteristics allow the cutters to polish and obtain cutting simultaneously. The application of DLC coating on for polishing aluminum milling cutters, which are then used for polishing, has the potential to extend the useful life of end milling cutters by a factor of two to three. The one-of-a-kind DLC coating provides remarkable adhesion and resistance to welding, in addition to lowering the cutting friction that would otherwise be present. Slotting and contouring are two examples of procedures that need rapid chip evacuation, and this permits steady machining in those processes.

Despite the fact that it is a beautiful metal, the surface of aluminum may lose its lustre or get tarnished with time. Aluminum has a natural tendency to corrode quickly, which gives it a dull look and causes an aluminium oxide coating to form on its surface. This coating protects the metal from further degradation but also gives it a dull appearance. Even though aluminium is a metal that does not rust, if an abrasive that is based on carbon has ever been used on the aluminium, then the aluminium will be in a state that is similar to that of rust. By polishing it in the appropriate manner, you will be able to keep its clean look and prevent it from becoming tarnished or displaying any symptoms of pre-rust. The use of an end milling cutter for aluminium polishing, which is available on the market in the United States of America in a number of brands at a range of costs, is one way to avoid this problem and get the desired results. You might also get in contact with HUANA if you want to get milling cutters of a high grade for the aluminium polishing that you are undertaking.

The helix angle of an for polishing aluminum milling cutters is calculated by taking the angle that is created between the centerline of the tool and a straight-line tangent along the cutting edge. This angle is measured in degrees. The helix angle may then be calculated based on this angle’s value. For the purpose of polishing aluminium milling cutters, Warner employs a design that has a larger helix angle—specifically 45 degrees. This design is superior than previous designs in terms of its ability to cut, the quality of the finish it provides, and the speed with which it wraps around the tool. In addition to that, it incorporates a C-shaped tip protection angle. Not only does the design of an end milling cutter with a helix angle of 45 degrees help to the quick evacuation of chips, but it also adds to an enhanced component finish, longer tool life, and reduced cycle times.

?End Mill with a Ball Nose

Ball nose end mills with 2 and 4 blades are the best tools to use for the purpose of machining three-dimensional contour forms, such as those that are frequently encountered in the mold and die business, the production of turbine blades, and the satisfaction of general component radius requirements. Milling steep slopes and tiny chamfers with straight walls and uneven contour surfaces may be successfully completed using small ball end milling cutters. Ball nose end mill cutters are equipped with two blades, one for rough milling and the other for more precise finishing work on curved surfaces. Exceptional capability throughout an extensive range of applications for treating composite materials. On the surface of the coating, you may find that it has high degrees of hardness as well as an excellent resistance to wear. Material made of tungsten steel that has been selected for its versatility in processing a wide range of materials, including metal, wood, plastic, and plate. The helix angle design of the 2 blades ball nose end mill reduces the cutting resistance, which in turn simplifies chip removal and removal of chips in general, making the process smoother and free of chip accumulation.

Through the use of a coating technology that has a low coefficient of friction, sticking may be minimized to an absolute minimum.

Milling a variety of curved surfaces and arc grooves requires a specific sort of tool called a ball nose end mill. This form of equipment can be found in most machine shops. Using a cutter that is fashioned in a manner that is analogous to a ball head, it is fabricated on the milling machine. However, chip discharge performance is poor due to the shallow chip-holding groove at the tip of the ball nose end mill. This is the factor that has the most significant influence on the machining of the curved surface.

It is put to good use in the manufacturing of cement, silicate goods, new building materials, refractories, fertilisers, beneficiation of non-ferrous and black metals, glass, and ceramics, to name just a few of the industries that benefit from its use. As the barrel rotates, the grinding medium adheres to the inner wall of the barrel due to the inertial centrifugal force that is caused by the rotation of the barrel. After you have rotated the barrel body to a given height and allowed it to reach that height, the material that is held inside the barrel body will shatter due to gravity. This will occur after you have allowed the barrel body to reach the height that you rotated it to. By using the extra capability of the ball nose cutter, the stress concentration may be decreased. This is accomplished by adding radiuses between the perpendicular faces. This grade is designed for use in the roughing and semi-finishing milling of materials having a hardness that is lower than HRC45, such as heat-treated steel, common alloy steel, cast iron, and other similar materials. This allows the size distribution of the particles to be centred, which ultimately leads to enhanced stability and resistance to wear. The superior microstructure was obtained by using a custom powder of a high quality.

Milling curved surfaces, slotting, and pocketing are all possible with the assistance of ball end mills, which are often referred to as ball nose end mills. Ball end mills are also referred to as “ball nose” end mills. Fabrication of molds and dies often necessitates the use of a device known as a 4 blades ball nose end mill, which has a reamer with a cutting edge in the form of a ball. You can buy the ball nose end mills of various brands of USA.

Stainless Steel Special Milling Cutter

The average yearly growth rate of 5% throughout the world has almost quadrupled over the course of the last decade. The difficulties that come with stainless steel processing and manufacturing are becoming more and more obvious as the number of items made of stainless steel continues to increase. A great number of industrial businesses have invested a large amount of their time and money into determining how to more successfully solve these difficulties.

The term “stainless steel special milling cutters” refers to milling cutters that have been designed with the express purpose of cutting stainless steel. Every variety of stainless steel special milling cutter comes outfitted with a steel feed screw system and makes use of cutter wheels that have been carefully manufactured and are fitted with needle bearings. This ensures that the cutter will last for as long as possible and will be as durable as possible. It is possible to replace both the cutter wheel and the wheel pin without requiring any extra tools or machinery. Because austenitic forms of stainless steel are CCGT Insert the most common, it follows that they are also the varieties of stainless steel that are machined the most often. During the process of machining, the very rapid work hardening rates as well as the extraordinarily poor chip breaking properties that they possess may identify them.

The degrees of strength and hardness that stainless steel has are lesser when compared to those of normal steel. Stainless steel, on the other hand, possesses high levels of plasticity and toughness thanks to the large amounts of Cr, Ni, Mn, and other elements that it contains. Additionally, stainless steel possesses high-temperature strength and a high possibility of becoming more brittle during the processing stage. Create a substantial amount of additional burden. When austenitic stainless steel is cut, specific carbides are precipitated inside the material, which speeds up the wear on the cutting tool. These carbides are responsible for the material’s austenitic structure. The Oerlikon Balzers Coating that is applied to the imported AF308 material that is used in the manufacturing of the stainless steel custom milling cutter that Warner uses to remedy the cutting issue gives the cutter a long machining life. This was achieved by applying the coating before using the imported AF308 material.

Whether it be via enhanced productivity, increased production dependability, or better efficiency, the wear protection contributes to these positive outcomes. There is a significant opportunity for cost reductions offered by the Oerlikon Balzers Coating in stainless steel special milling cutter. It is feasible for a certain milling cutter to withstand much higher cutting rates and feeds thanks to Oerlikon Balzers Coating and imported AF308 material made of stainless steel. This, in turn, minimizes the amount of time and money spent on machining. In addition to this, they have outstanding wear resistance, which considerably extends the amount of time that the tool is able to be used.

The outstanding thermal stability, hot hardness, and oxidation resistance of the Oerlikon Balzers Coating enables the heat to be drained through the chips of the stainless steel special milling cutters. This is made possible by the fact that the cutters are made of stainless steel. This is achieved without having a detrimental effect on the leading edge of the industry.

With the promise of low costs and fast turnaround times, Chinese CNC machining services are a popular choice for companies looking to outsource their machining needs. In fact, carrying out CNC machining in China is a vital step for many product developers, since few other countries can match China for cost and efficiency.

That being said, in terms of CNC machining China can be difficult to navigate. There are many Chinese CNC machining companies to choose from, and communication can be more challenging than it is with domestic supply chains — not to mention differences in currency, standards, and Intellectual Property laws.

To make life easier for prospective customers of China CNC machining services, this article provides tips on how to order CNC machining parts from China, looking at the process of outsourcing in Asia while pointing out the common pitfalls one can encounter.

Outsourcing CNC machining to a Chinese specialist

Hardware companies large and small tend to outsource their CNC machining needs to a specialist. Even for prototypes, it often makes sense to use a third-party CNC machining company over an in-house solution, due to the factory space and human skill required to operate machining equipment.

The nature of the CNC machining process and equipment is a big factor here. Unlike desktop 3D printers, CNC machines take up floorspace, require a safe factory environment, and their raw materials are large and heavy metal (or plastic) blanks — not pocket-sized spools of 3D printer filament. For small or medium-size companies, it usually doesn’t make sense to invest in in-house CNC machining facilities, regardless of whether a skilled machining workforce is available.

And a skilled machining workforce is hard to come by. Although CNC machining is perhaps less of an art than manual machining, it still requires a huge amount of knowledge and experience to prepare and execute a machining job. A part made with one grade of aluminum may require a totally different set of machining parameters to a part made with a different grade.

Why choose China for your CNC machining needs?

For the last 20 years or so, Chinese manufacturers have massively increased their adoption of CNC machining equipment, and in doing so have become the go-to solution for hardware companies around the world.

China has always offered some of the world’s most competitive manufacturing rates, and an increase in CNC machining providers has further driven down costs. For their CNC machining China based companies may use Chinese-made equipment or Western equipment, or a combination of both, and most will provide their equipment list on request.

In recent years, machining options have increased in nearby nations like Vietnam and Taiwan with even lower labor costs, but Chinese companies typically deliver better results. This is partly down to Chinese CNC companies being more established, but also due to better supply chains and logistics options in the mainland.

However, CNC machining in China only makes sense in certain situations. If, for example, a company needs a heavy but simple part, it might make more sense to order from a local manufacturer, since shipping may dramatically increase the overall cost of ordering from China.

Furthermore, since the good value of Chinese CNC machining comes from low labor costs, it doesn’t make sense to use a Chinese manufacturer if no labor costs are involved. For example, the mass manufacture of a part (over 100,000 units) may require robotic automation and thus sidestep labor costs altogether, and will therefore have a similar price in Western regions.

Considerations to make when choosing CNC machining company in China

Identifying a suitable China CNC machining company can seem daunting, but there are a few steps that can be taken before settling on a chosen partner.

• Certifications are one way to assess the suitability of a company. ISO certifications in particular are a good guideline for identifying competent CNC machining companies, although they will not inform you of the scope of a company’s abilities.
• Word of mouth is another helpful way to build a shortlist of potential Chinese CNC companies. Talk to other hardware companies who have contracted manufacturers in the region and find out their experiences working with third parties.
• Demand information from shortlisted companies before making a decision. Once you have established a point of contact, keep asking questions until you are satisfied that the company knows how to execute your project. If they cannot give you a clear answer, they probably aren’t a suitable partner.
• Visit factories if at all possible. This is perhaps not feasible for small companies, but visiting CNC machining facilities in China is probably the best way to assess which companies are the most suitable for a project. In some cases, it may be possible to hire a manufacturing agent to arrange visits to multiple sites in a given region.
• Send RfQs to find out how much a company will charge. A request for quotation isn’t something you need to save for your final chosen company. If you send the RfQ to several shortlisted Chinese CNC machining companies, you’ll get a good idea of who can offer the best price.
• Timeline – Time is precious in every business and it cannot be compromised at any cost. Delivering products to the consumers on time will determine your efficiency and further deals. So, you should ask your manufacturing team about proficiency in terms of Tungsten Carbide Inserts the timeline of completion of projects. A reliable company will explain it thoroughly to you without any hesitation. Even you should be more focused on this point.
• Technology- A professional manufacturing company always has the latest technology and different CNC turning and milling machines to involve in this process. They always go with the ever-growing advances in technology and inventions. Also, they have the best team to operate these machines effectively. We would say that when you have a company with the latest technology and extremely skilled professionals for your required CNC turned and milled parts, you won’t need to look further.
• Quality Control – You need to get to know about a company’s CNC machining quality control. You can ask them for complete detail on Deep Hole Drilling Inserts the quality and efficiency of their parts. Many companies have their quality control section to ensure the best results at any cost.? Make sure your company can able to provide you with performance details.
• Superior customer Service – This factor is yet another important consideration. When a manufacturing company will ensure superior customer service, it will also ensure your own performance and client satisfaction as a business owner. In this case, you need to thoroughly discuss with your supplier and they must agree to deliver you with adapted CNC machining services in China that can meet your needs.

Things to remember when ordering CNC machining parts from China

If you have previously used a domestic contractor to fulfill a CNC machining project, then ordering from China should not be greatly different. However, there are a few unique considerations to keep in mind.

• Communicate using universal standards: Ideally, you will want to work with a CNC machining China specialist like Estoolcarbide whose staff can easily communicate in English. Nonetheless, translation issues can arise. To mitigate this problem, be sure to submit a complete technical drawing with your digital files to remove any ambiguity.
• Ask that your partner sign a non-disclosure agreement: Intellectual property is something that scares many customers away from working with Chinese manufacturers. And while IP law is gradually changing, it is good practice to sign an NDA with the CNC machining company that legally prevents the company from disclosing or reusing your designs.
• Factor in shipping times: For prototypes and low-volume orders, Chinese companies can often use priority air mail to deliver your parts within days. For larger quantities and physically larger parts, it may be necessary to use shipping services, which can result in longer wait times than domestic orders. Be sure to discuss shipping times with the manufacturer if you are working to a tight deadline.
• Factor in currency conversion, if applicable: Most Chinese CNC machining companies will accept payment in various currencies, including the US dollar, but there may still be extra fees involved if sending an international wire transfer. Discuss the situation with the manufacturer and your bank if you have any concerns.
