Customer Challenges
Our customer is a high-end industrial equipment manufacturer. They needed a critical connecting component that features both a cylindrical outer shape and a complex internal structure. This part not only required dimensional precision but, more importantly, its surface needed to achieve a high level of smoothness to ensure seamless assembly, reliable operation, and an attractive appearance.
The customer’s core pain points included:
- Integrated machining of complex structures: The part has external cylindrical sections and steps, as well as internal slots and side holes. Traditional machining methods require frequent equipment changes and re-clamping, resulting in low efficiency and a high risk of introducing errors.
- Strict surface quality requirements: The customer demanded that the part’s surface be smooth, burr-free, and achieve a mirror-like polished finish to meet the high-end positioning and functional needs of their products.
- Material machinability: The part has a relatively small size, requiring a material with good machinability to ensure stable machining efficiency and precision.
Our Solution: C360 Brass & Turn-Mill Compound Machining
To perfectly address the customer’s challenges, we provided a professional manufacturing solution: selecting C360 brass, utilizing our advanced CNC turn-mill compound machining center, and finally applying a fine surface polishing process.
Material Selection: C360 Brass
- Advantages of the “King of Free-Cutting Materials”: C360 brass is widely recognized as the copper alloy with the best machinability, boasting a machinability rating of 100. This means that during turn-mill compound machining, it enables high-speed, efficient cutting while producing small, easy-to-discharge chips—greatly improving production efficiency and extending tool life.
- Comprehensive performance: Beyond its excellent machinability, C360 brass also offers good corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, making it an ideal material for manufacturing various precision mechanical, electronic, and fluid control components.
Manufacturing Process: Turn-Mill Compound Machining & Surface Polishing
- Completing all processes in one setup: Our CNC turn-mill compound machining center is the perfect solution for processing such complex parts. It integrates both turning and milling capabilities, allowing us to complete external cylindrical turning, internal/external planar milling, and side hole drilling in a single clamping. This completely eliminates positioning errors caused by multiple clampings, ensuring the part’s dimensional precision and coaxiality.
- Fine surface polishing treatment: After machining, we applied a professional surface polishing process, giving the brass part a unique luster and texture. This not only met the customer’s high aesthetic requirements but also reduced surface friction, enhancing the part’s overall performance.
