CASE 01

Complex CNC Milled Housing

ComponentComplex machined housing
MaterialNot disclosed
ProcessCNC milling
Order quantityNot disclosed
ToleranceControlled to customer drawing
InspectionDimensional inspection
Finished complex CNC machined metal housing with precision features

Customer Requirement

The part required a complex housing geometry with machined cavities, multiple functional faces, mounting features and interfaces defined by the customer drawing.

Manufacturing Challenge

Large material removal and multi-face machining require a controlled setup and cutting sequence to preserve feature relationships throughout production.

Process Route

The drawing was reviewed to identify functional datums and critical interfaces before roughing and finishing operations were planned.

Inspection

The finished housing was checked against drawing-defined dimensions and interface relationships using suitable dimensional measurement equipment.

Result

The case demonstrates a controlled route for complex housing machining combining cavity milling, multi-face features and dimensional verification.

CASE 02

Repeat-Production CNC Components

ComponentRepeat-production machined components
MaterialAluminum
ProcessCNC machining with repeatable workholding
Batch sizeNot disclosed
ToleranceControlled to customer drawing
InspectionCMM dimensional inspection
PackagingProtected export packaging
Batch of repeat-production CNC machined round components

Customer Requirement

The project required repeated production of the same component family with consistent machining and controlled inspection across batches.

Manufacturing Challenge

Workholding position, tool condition, offsets and inspection checkpoints must remain controlled beyond the first acceptable part.

Process Route

Multiple components were machined using a repeatable production setup organized around the controlled drawing revision.

Inspection

The project used CMM dimensional inspection for the relevant component features, supporting verification before release.

Result

The case connects repeatable machining, project-specific dimensional verification and protected export packaging in one production workflow.

CASE 03

CNC Machined Liquid Cold Plate

ComponentLiquid cold plate
MaterialNot disclosed
ProcessCNC channel machining
Order quantityNot disclosed
Critical featuresInternal channels, sealing interfaces and connection features
ToleranceControlled to customer drawing
InspectionDimensional inspection
Finished CNC machined liquid cold plate with internal cooling channels

Customer Requirement

The component required internal cooling-channel geometry together with machined sealing and interface features defined by the customer drawing.

Manufacturing Challenge

Cold-plate machining requires careful control of internal channel geometry, burrs, sealing surfaces and feature relationships.

Process Route

The machining sequence was planned around the channel layout, sealing interfaces and connection features while protecting completed functional surfaces.

Inspection

The finished cold plate was checked against the drawing, focusing on relevant interfaces, hole locations and directly measurable channel-related geometry.

Result

The project demonstrates CNC machining capability for liquid cold plates and other thermal-management parts with internal flow-channel features.
