5 Ways - CNC Machining Manufacturing Process Ensures Delivery

Pursuing a perfect manufacturing process minimizes work-in-progress and inventory, reduces costs, shortens manufacturing time, and improves product accuracy to ensure flawless product delivery.

1. Analysis and selection of materials in the manufacturing process

(1) According to the main performance indicators, select several materials that meet the requirements.

(2) According to the material forming process, the complexity of the parts, the production batch of the parts, the existing production conditions and technical conditions, the material and its forming process are selected.

(3) Considering the material cost, molding process, material performance and reliability of use, the most suitable material is selected by the optimization method. Select cost-effective materials, comprehensively consider raw material cost, raw material utilization, material molding cost, manufacturing process cost and production cycle.

For example, for robotic structures, AL7075 is stronger and harder than AL6061, but takes more machining time and more expensive material than AL6061. In other cases, the AL6061 is the best choice for price/performance.

2. Processing plan and process analysis

(1) Ensure that the technical requirements of the processed parts are met and qualified products are processed.

According to customer requirements and product use environment, select technology and processing methods to ensure that products that meet technical requirements are processed.

(2) Helps to increase productivity.

Improving productivity and consistency is the focus of manufacturing process solutions. Processes and equipment for the production of prototypes and mass production need to be selected based on lead times and production costs.

(3) Minimize production cost (processing cost)

While ensuring the production of products that satisfy customers, choosing and improving more efficient and more reasonable processing solutions that can reduce customer costs will make you more competitive.

3. Guarantee of machining accuracy

One of the most important aspects of accuracy assurance is the accuracy of the equipment, which usually determines the accuracy of the product. The use of more sophisticated processing equipment is mandatory.

Experienced machining programming engineers and operation engineers are also an important factor to ensure the accuracy and qualification rate of the manufacturing process. Skilled operation skills and processing technology can create miracles.

During machining, it is also very important to reduce, compensate, transfer, equalize and homogenize the original error.

At the same time, for products with low precision requirements, using low-precision and low-cost processing equipment is a good way to save costs and time for customers.

4. Solutions for unconventional structures and internal structures

Due to the limitation of CNC freedom and tool size, ordinary CNC machining cannot process unconventional structural parts, such as deep holes, internal structures and parts with blind spots. EDM and WEDM can make up for this shortfall by reducing the thickness of machined parts by electrolysis of the metal surface.

For the manufacturing process of unconventional structure, it is usually necessary to make some copper molds according to the internal structure of the parts, and then process the parts through the conductive properties of the copper molds. However, the machined surface is generally rough and requires further polishing. Among these difficulties are the machining difficulties of physical prototypes compared to visual prototypes to achieve this unconventional structure.

5. Upgrading the process is the best way to reduce costs

Efficient process upgrades are the best choice for improving efficiency, increasing production capacity, and reducing manufacturing costs. Scientifically and innovatively analyze and develop the technological process during the realization of the customer's project, clarify the key and difficult points of the process according to the customer's requirements, conduct a comprehensive process analysis, and formulate a reasonable and effective process plan and process plan. Formulate more scientific and efficient process flow and system, constantly summarize the experience and lessons in the process of process implementation, promote and implement advanced experience, and realize the optimal control of process flow, cost, quality, etc.

For example, the processing method of the robotic arm: at the same time, its carrying capacity, strength and precision are improved to a higher degree. Research and develop how to improve the accuracy of CNC machining after casting of the robot arm, and develop a more cost-effective manufacturing process for customers.
