Precision Thin-Wall CNC Turning Part

Tags: , , , , , , ,
Precision thin-wall CNC turned conical component made of aluminum with a flanged base.

This project highlights our capability in thin-wall CNC turning, focusing on an aluminum conical component designed for precise structural or fluid control applications. The part features a wide base flange that tapers into a thin-walled cylindrical opening. Machining thin-walled structures from aluminum presents specific challenges, primarily related to clamping distortion and material yielding under cutting pressure.

To successfully manufacture this precision CNC turned part, we implemented rigorous workholding and tooling strategies. While aluminum is highly machinable, its relative softness makes thin sections susceptible to crushing from standard chuck jaws. We utilized custom-machined soft jaws and internal support mandrels to distribute the clamping force evenly, maintaining the part’s circularity. By optimizing the spindle speed and using sharp, polished inserts specifically designed for aluminum, we minimized cutting forces and prevented built-up edge (BUE). The final component achieves a uniform wall thickness, excellent concentricity, and a smooth surface finish.

Factory Quality Assurance

Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) inspecting the dimensional accuracy of a custom CNC machined part.

A standardized Quality Management System (QMS) is applied to all manufacturing orders, regardless of part complexity or production volume. The following inspection stages are mandatory for every CNC machining project:

  • Material Verification: Raw material certification (chemical composition and mechanical properties) is verified upon receipt to ensure compliance with material specifications.

  • First Article Inspection (FAI): The first unit from any production run undergoes a full dimensional report to validate the machining setup and programming before volume processing begins.

  • In-Process Monitoring: Periodic checks are conducted during the machining cycle to monitor tool wear and ensure dimensional consistency is maintained throughout the batch.

  • Final Inspection: Completed components undergo a final dimensional and cosmetic verification using CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) and calibrated manual instruments prior to packaging.

FAQs About CNC Machining Services

No. We support projects of all sizes, from a single prototype unit to low-volume production runs.

Standard lead times are typically 10–15 business days. Expedited services (Rapid Prototyping) can be completed in as little as 3–5 business days, depending on part complexity and material availability.

In most cases, we source materials from our approved suppliers to ensure quality control. However, we can machine customer-supplied materials for specialized alloys or specific requirements upon engineering review.

Unless otherwise specified, our general tolerance standard is ISO 2768-m (±0.125 mm) for metals and ±0.25 mm for plastics. Precision tolerances ±0.005 mm are achievable but must be explicitly stated in 2D technical drawings.

Our facility can accommodate parts up to 4000 x 1500 x 600 mm for milling and Ø200 mm x 500 mm for turning.

Yes. We can install inserts (e.g., Helicoils, PEM fasteners) and perform basic mechanical assembly of machined components prior to shipment.

To provide an accurate quote, we require a 3D CAD file (STEP, IGES, or X_T format). If the part has threaded holes, tight tolerances, or specific surface finish requirements, a 2D PDF drawing must also be provided.

We take IP protection seriously. All files are stored securely, and we are willing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to receiving your data.

Yes. We can provide material certificates (COA) and dimensional inspection reports upon request. Please specify this requirement when placing your order.

We ship globally using major carriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS). Shipping terms are typically Ex Works (EXW) or DAP, depending on the agreement.
