Sumitech’s automated precision parts machining process typically includes key steps such as design planning, material preparation, precision machining, inspection and quality control, surface treatment, and assembly and commissioning.
Firstly, design planning is the starting point for automated precision machining of parts. Engineers use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create precise part drawings that detail the dimensions, shape, materials, and other key elements of the parts, providing clear guidance for subsequent machining steps.
Next, the material preparation stage involves selecting suitable raw materials according to design requirements and conducting necessary preprocessing such as cutting, polishing, etc. to ensure that the materials meet processing requirements.
Then, enter the precision machining stage. At this stage, CNC machines are usually used for cutting operations, including turning, milling, drilling, etc., to achieve precision machining of parts. The operator will program the machine tool based on the part drawings to ensure precise cutting paths and machining parameters. The high precision and automation characteristics of CNC machine tools enable efficient removal of materials and formation of the final part shape during this stage.
After processing, inspection and quality control are crucial. This step includes strict testing of multiple indicators such as size, shape, and surface roughness of the parts. Only parts that meet the requirements can pass the inspection. For non-conforming parts, they need to be repaired or scrapped to ensure the quality and reliability of the final product.
Next is the surface treatment stage. In order to improve the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of some parts, surface treatment processes such as grinding, spraying, and electroplating are required. These processes can improve the surface quality of parts, extend their service life, and meet specific application requirements.
Finally, according to actual needs, assemble and debug the processed parts. This step requires ensuring the precision and stability of the fit between the parts to meet the overall functional requirements of the product. During the assembly process, specialized assembly tools and equipment may need to be used, and necessary debugging and testing may be carried out to ensure the normal operation of the product.
