WHAT IS PRECISION MACHINING?

Precision machining is a manufacturing process involving high-precision tools and machinery to create parts with very tight tolerances and high accuracy.

High Precision Machining involves specialized equipment and tools, such as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, capable of performing highly precise operations with minimal human intervention. These machines are often equipped with advanced sensing and control systems that allow them to make adjustments in real-time to maintain accuracy and consistency.

Here are some examples of precision machining:

1. CNC milling: Computer numerical control (CNC) milling is a process that uses a computer-controlled machine to remove material from a workpiece to create a desired shape. This process is commonly used in the production of complex parts with high precision.

2. Turning: Turning is a machining process that involves the use of a lathe to rotate a workpiece while a cutting tool removes material to create a desired shape. This process is commonly used to create cylindrical parts with high precision.

3. Grinding: Grinding is a process that involves the use of abrasive material to remove material from a workpiece to create a desired shape. This process is commonly used in the production of precision parts that require a very smooth surface finish.

4. EDM: Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a process that uses electrical sparks to erode material from a workpiece to create a desired shape. This process is commonly used to create complex shapes with high precision.

5. Laser cutting: Laser cutting is a process that uses a high-powered laser to cut or engrave a workpiece to create a desired shape. This process is commonly used in the production of parts that require very tight tolerances and high accuracy.
