Micro Precision Machining

CNC micro precision machining is a specialized form of precision machining that is used to produce extremely small components with high accuracy and precision. It involves the use of computer-controlled machines, typically with multiple axes, that can perform micro-milling, micro-drilling, micro-turning, and other micro-machining operations. These machines are capable of cutting materials with high precision, typically to tolerances of a few microns or less. CNC machining is used in a variety of industries, including medical device machining manufacturing, aerospace, and electronics, where the production of small, complex components is required. It is also used in research and development for producing prototypes and experimental components. Falcon precision micromachining is commonly used in the production of medical equipment, optical components, electronic components, and other key micro components that require precise tolerances and high levels of detail.

3 Techniques to Know What Is the Process of Micro Machining?

Micromachining is a manufacturing process aimed at producing small components or parts with ultra-precision surface requirements. Falcon micro-machined parts are primarily produced using the following techniques: Five-Axis Vertical Machining, Micro drilling, Wire EDM, and CNC Swiss machining.

Micro milling: Micro milling technology is typically used for turning-type components and micro parts. Falcon's modern Swiss machine shop focuses on improving the spindle precision of Swiss machines and emphasizes the selection of servo systems with high resolution. Additionally, Falcon customizes precise and robust cutting tools to ensure the accuracy of micro-machining parts.

Micro drilling: This processing method can effectively handle holes of no more than 0.5mm and is suitable for the manufacturing of micro precision components. The process does not result in the deformation of the components and effectively addresses issues related to size accuracy deviation during the usage phase.

Precision wire WEDM: This processing method plays an important role in micromachining by producing extremely delicate and complex structures. Therefore, electrical discharge machining is commonly used for 3D contouring, drilling, precision machining, and deburring. Furthermore, with its high-precision processing and special relaxation generator, it allows for a shape accuracy of approximately ±1 μm.
