What Materials Can Be Used For Machined Parts For My Fort Wayne, IN Company?

Machined parts can be made from a variety of materials, including metals and plastics. But, some materials are easier to machine than others. Extremely hard materials are especially difficult to puncture with a cutting tool, perhaps causing the tool to vibrate more, thus possibly reducing quality. Exceptionally soft materials, as well as materials with a low melting point, may deform once coming into contact with the cutting tool. Some of our most common machined part materials are listed below. As always, we’d be open to a conversation involving machining parts with other materials. Just call us at 573-646-3996 or connect with us online.

• Metals: Aluminum (6061, 7075, 7050 or “aa7050 alloy”), Stainless Steel (303, 304), Magnesium, Titanium, Zinc, Brass, Bronze, Copper
• Plastics: ABS, PC, <a href="PC-ABS, PP, PS, POM, PMMA, PAGF30, PCGF30, Teflon, DHPE, HDPE, PPS, PEEK

What Are the Advantages of Machined Parts in Fort Wayne, IN?

Machined parts from Roberson Machine Company provide particular benefits that may not be possible with 3D printed parts or even injection molded parts in Fort Wayne, IN. Some of the pivotal advantages for your Fort Wayne, IN company include:

Quality

Machined parts can be cut to an exceptionally high caliber, based primarily on your Fort Wayne, IN company’s tolerances and specifications. This means our CNC machinists can take extra time on tight-tolerance workpieces and individual features to ensure the best quality.

Lead Times

Machined parts can be produced quicker than parts made via other production processes like Fort Wayne, IN molding. This is partly because of to the lack of labor-intensive tooling, being able to bank more on the CAD and CAM software our machinists input into the CNC machines. But the manufacturing process itself is also highly effective and efficient – several of our CNC machines have rapid rates of up to 45 yards per minute, even though we don’t machine parts at those speeds. The speed of our CNC machines, along with the one-step nature of machining combine to make machined parts some of the fastest to fabricate, reducing lead times for shorter time-to-market and practical rapid prototyping.

Design Freedom

Machined parts can have a wide variety of sizes and shapes. This is due to the fact that CNC machines aren’t subjected to the same limitations of molding, like tapering and thin walls. Machined parts can be robust and thick, yet their features can be intricate and complex. Although machined parts have some restrictions when it comes to, for example, deep channels and internal sections, machining still represents the most geometrically flexible production process for your Fort Wayne, IN production run.

Alterations

Due to the fact that CNC machined parts are made from digital CAD files, it is possible to make changes throughout the machining procedure, right up until the last minute. This is extremely helpful during prototyping and our research and experimental development phases, when your staff or our engineers might want to make fractional changes or clarifications to the machined part or develop multiple versions. It also lessens the probability of waste, as defective parts are far less likely to be produced.

Strength

Machined parts are cut from solid pieces of material known as blanks, which have typically been extruded or cast. This makes them foundationally solid compared to, for example, 3D printed pieces, which can be much weaker along one axis, where one layer is added on top of the next.

Surface Finish

While molding parts deals with surface quality issues like flow lines, jetting, and flash at the parting line, machined parts entirely avoid them. With a small amount of post-processing, which is achieved in our value-added services, machined parts can be brought to an extremely high standard regarding surface finish. Machining also provides a far superior surface finish to 3D printing, even before any secondary service has been started by our machinists. 3D printing leaves visible layer lines on the surface of the part, which must be smoothed over by sanding or chemical treatment. Machined parts do not have these layer lines.

No Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)

Machined parts are cost-effective and available in small quantities or even one-off parts because they are cut directly from a blank workpiece. For molded parts, it is necessary to fabricate metal tooling – a process that takes a long time and can be costly. However, machining with Roberson Machine Company is unique in offering top-quality parts with no MOQ, making it convenient for smaller businesses in Fort Wayne, IN, small production runs, and prototyping.

What CNC Machinery is Necessary to Make Machined Parts For My Company in Fort Wayne, IN?

The Roberson Machine Company facility is fully stocked with top-of-the-line CNC machinery capable of manufacturing precisely machined parts in a fraction of the time as our competitors. Our full range of equipment includes:

• CNC Horizontal Mills

All mills use rotary cutting in the subtractive manufacturing process of removing materials from a workpiece, but our CNC mills combine the cutting procedure with advanced computer control to allow for precise and rapid manufacturing. Our horizontal CNC mills accurately and quickly shape your component material to tight tolerances. Our CNC horizontal milling services benefit from the availability of our state-of-the-art 3 axis, 4 axis, and 5 axis machines.

• CNC Vertical Mills

Vertical CNC mills feature spindles that are set at 90 degrees to the floor, making them optimal for projects calling for large production runs of moderately complex parts. While horizontal mills are more beneficial in difficult milling projects, vertical mills are capable of an array of designs for your company’s project in Fort Wayne, IN.

• CNC Horizontal Lathes

In contrast to mills, which bank on rotation of the cutting tool, lathes instead rotate the workpiece as material is removed. Compared to manual lathes, which need a degree of expertise to operate, CNC lathes drastically reduce the probability of human error, as well as the amount of labor. These advantages translate into marked decreases in cost and defect rates for your Fort Wayne, IN company.
