High Precision Brass Components Turning CNC Part Custom CNC Machine Parts

As of today, CNC machining stands out as the most prevalent subtractive manufacturing technology,

providing an exceptionally versatile and robust approach to fabricate customized metal and plastic

parts.

By utilizing CAD models, CNC machines meticulously eliminate material from a solid block using a

diverse array of cutting tools.

On the whole, CNC machining delivers components with stringent tolerances and commendable

material properties. Its suitability extends to singular projects and low-to-medium volume production

(up to 1,000 parts), thanks to its elevated repeatability.

However, it does impose more design limitations compared to 3D printing, primarily due to the

subtractive nature inherent in this technology.

Product Details

Brass is a metal alloy known for its low friction properties, exceptional electrical conductivity,

and distinctive golden appearance.

This material offers good machinability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that

demand low friction and high electrical conductivity.

Brass Finishing and Post-Processing

360 Brass has a shiny yellow finish that varies depending on surface roughness.

It can be hand-polished to increase its sheen, or media blasted for more of a matte texture.

Applications of CNC Brass Parts

CNC turning machines exhibit impressive versatility in the production of various parts with

different complexities.

Some examples of parts that can be efficiently made using CNC turning include:

1. Shafts and Axles:
CNC turning is well-suited for the production of long, cylindrical parts like shafts and axles,

commonly used in industries such as automotive and aerospace.

2. Bushings and Bearings:
Precision-made bushings and bearings, crucial for reducing friction and facilitating smooth

rotational movement in mechanical assemblies, can be manufactured using CNC turning.

3. Connectors and Fittings:
CNC turning enables the production of connectors, fittings, and couplings utilized in plumbing,

hydraulic systems, and electrical applications.

FAQ's

1. What are the minimum and maximum dimensions you can machine?

Our CNC machining services encompass CNC milling (3-axis, 3+2-axis, and 5-axis) as well as

turning. For 3/3+2-axis CNC milling, we can machine parts with dimensions up to

2000 x 1500 x 200 mm (78.7 x 59.0 x 7.8 in.).

In the case of 5-axis milling, the maximum part size is 650 x 650 x 300 mm (25.5 x 25.5 x 11.8 in.).

For CNC turning, we can handle parts with a maximum diameter of 431 mm (17 in.)

and a length of 990 mm (39 in.).

Recommended minimum part dimensions are approximately 10 x 10 x 10 mm

(0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 in.), and feature dimensions should not go below 0.5 mm.

It's important to note that our platform has a limitation of a maximum part size of 1000 mm (39 in.).

If your project requires dimensions beyond this limit, please contact our sales team to discuss your

specific needs.

2. How much do CNC machining materials cost?

The cost of CNC machining materials is influenced by the selected material, with each material

carrying its own price tag based on unique physical properties. The variety of materials available

for CNC machining contributes to the diverse cost landscape.

For metal parts production, Aluminum 6061 emerges as the most cost-effective option.

If cost efficiency is paramount, ABS is the most economical choice.

The ease of machining plays a significant role in cost dynamics, exemplified by stainless steel.

Its greater hardness relative to aluminum increases machining complexity, resulting in a higher

overall cost.

3. What's the general surface texture of CNC milled and turned parts?

CNC machining imparts specific surface textures to milled and turned parts. As-machined milled

parts generally possess a roughness of around 3.2μm (with a potential improvement to 1.6μm for

newer machines).

In contrast, turned parts showcase a finer surface texture, achieving a roughness of 0.8μm.

Remarkably, this enhanced surface quality is achieved without necessitating adjustments to the

machining speed.
