5 sets 5-axis CNC machining centers & 8 sets 3+2 axis CNC milling machines.
2 sets slow-EDM, 2 sets larger Lathe, and 2 sets grinding machines under 0.005mm tight tolerance.
Secondary finishing including anodizing, powder coating and more.
What's The Project Challenge For The Projects?
The main challenge is the product thickness is 60–90mm, and the feature is heterogeneous, and all parts need to be assembled and made function-purposed.
Our engineering team had to use extended cutting tools, and 5-axis and 3+2 axis CNC milling machines to complete them. When rotating at different angles, all holes and thread holes must be precision-machined and ready for assembly.
How To Understand and Make The Parts?
First, we conducted a careful design overview to understand the parts and suggest improvements when possible. Then, we applied Positive Material Identification (PMI) to test the composition of the alloys used in the tools and parts.
The first run of prototypes was CNC machined from aluminum in a 5-step process:
- 1CNC Program the Machines
- 2Engineering Review and Improve the Codes
- 3Mount the Workpiece on the Machine and Adjust the Setup
- 4Monitor Production and All Functions
- 5Do Adjustment to the Cutting Programs When Necessary
These practices are typically repeated in any CNC machining project; the cutting programs used are unique for each part. We had to consider things like machine type, part geometry, tool type, and raw material.
The prototypes were sent to our model shop and trusted partners for:
- Polishing — to achieve a reflective and shiny appearance.
- Powder Coating — to achieve a more durable protective finish.
- Silver Anodizing — to create a beautiful clear finish that enhances resistance to corrosion and wear.
How To Develop and Manufacturing CNC Machining Aeroplane Parts
Most of the aeroplane parts' CNC machining includes rapid prototype and volume production. When we make 2–4 prototypes, the feature and material require us to specify the material supplier, such as 7075, 7475, 2024, and more.
Aeroplane parts require us to further consider the whole process — from single part machining, surface coating, to assembly. This is a very complex process, so our engineering team needs to make a detailed DFM (Design for Manufacturability) report before production.
We are dedicated to rapid prototype and low volume production for aeroplane parts and provide fast feedback and delivery with high quality. These aeroplane features require us to use 5-axis CNC milling to complete.
When you have aero parts CNC machined inquiries or customized parts, you can send your inquiry to our email address so our engineering team will discuss with you on each production detail — whether you need 1 pc or more than 50 pcs, we make the best support to you based on cost-effectiveness. Tell us your requirement or expectation, and our team will serve it for you. You can start a new project now.
What's The Surface Finishing Can Be Done After CNC Machining?
After most of the aeroplane parts are CNC machined, we will provide quality finishing options:
Anodizing & Powder Coating
Standard finishing for most aeroplane CNC machined parts.
Shaft House & Engine Mount
After CNC turning and lathe, polishing and hard anodizing are applied for aesthetics.
Tube Fittings
Completed with 3+2 axis CNC machining center, followed by hard anodizing to protect the surface.
