What Materials Can Be Used For Machined Parts For My Mobile, AL Company?
Machined parts can be made from many different materials, including metals and plastics. Yet, some materials are easier to machine than others. Exceptionally hard materials are difficult to penetrate with a cutting tool and may cause the tool to vibrate more, thus possibly diminishing quality. Extremely soft materials, and materials with a low melting point, may warp once coming into contact with the cutting tool. Several of our most common machined part materials are listed below. As always, we’d be open to discussing the possibility of machining parts with other materials. Just give us a call 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 Benefits of Machined Parts in Mobile, AL?
Machined parts from Roberson Machine Company provide certain advantages that might not be possible with injection molded parts or even 3D printed parts in Mobile, AL. Some of the principal advantages for your Mobile, AL company are:
Quality
Machined parts can be made to an exceptionally high quality, based primarily on your Mobile, AL company’s tolerances and specifications. This means our CNC machinists can take extra time on tight-tolerance parts and individual aspects to ensure the finest quality.
Lead Times
Machined parts can be manufactured faster than parts made via other production production like Mobile, AL molding. This is partly due to the lack of labor-intensive tooling, therefore being able to rely more on the CAD and CAM software our machinists use with the CNC machines. But our manufacturing procedure itself is also highly efficient – several of our CNC machines have rapid rates of almost 45 yards per minute, even though we do not produce machined parts at those speeds. The one-step nature of machining and the speed of our CNC machines combine to make machined parts some of the fastest to produce, diminishing lead times for practical rapid prototyping and shorter time-to-market.
Design Freedom
Machined parts can have a wide variety of sizes and shapes. This is because CNC machines are not subject to the same limitations of molding, like tapering and thin walls. Machined parts can be thick and robust, yet their features can be fine and complex. Despite machined parts having some restrictions when it comes to, for example, internal sections and deep channels, machining still represents the most geometrically flexible manufacturing procedure for your Mobile, AL production run.
Alterations
Because CNC machined parts are produced from digital CAD files, it is possible to make changes throughout the machining procedure, up until the last minute. This is extremely useful during prototyping and our research and experimental development stages, when your staff or our engineers might need to make fractional adjustments or refinements to the machined part or develop multiple versions. It also lessens the probability of waste, as defective parts are far less likely to come about.
Strength
Machined parts are cut from solid pieces of material known as blanks, which have typically been extruded or cast. This makes them foundationally strong compared to, for example, 3D printed parts, which can be much flimsier along one axis, where one layer is built on top of the next.
Surface Finish
Machined parts completely circumvent the surface quality issues associated with molding such as flow lines, jetting, and flash at the parting line. With a moderate amount of post-processing, which is accomplished in our value-added services, machined parts can be brought to an extremely high level regarding surface finish. Machining also gives a superior surface finish to 3D printing, even before any secondary service has been started by our machinists. 3D printing leaves noticeable layer lines on the surface of the part, which must be smoothed over through sanding or chemical treatment. Machined parts do not produce these layer lines.
No Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
Machined parts are cut directly from a blank workpiece, making it cost-effective and possible to order extremely small quantities or even one-off parts. For molded parts, it is necessary to fabricate metal tooling – a process that seems endless and can be costly. But machining with Roberson Machine Company is unique in providing top-quality parts with no MOQ, making it convenient for smaller companies in Mobile, AL, small production runs, and prototyping.

What CNC Machinery is Necessary to Make Machined Parts For My Company in Mobile, AL?
The Roberson Machine Company facility is fully stocked with top-of-the-line CNC machinery capable of manufacturing accurately machined parts in a fraction of the time as our competitors. Our full range of equipment includes:
- CNC Horizontal Mills
- CNC Vertical Mills
- CNC Horizontal Lathes
All mills use rotary cutting to remove materials from a workpiece, but our CNC mills combine the cutting procedure with advanced computer control to allow for precise and rapid production. Our horizontal CNC mills quickly and accurately shape your component material to tight tolerances. Our CNC horizontal milling services benefit from the availability of our modern 3 axis, 4 axis, and 5 axis machines.
Vertical CNC mills feature spindles that are set at 90 degrees to the floor, making them ideal for projects requiring large production runs of fairly complex parts. While horizontal mills are more beneficial in difficult milling projects, vertical mills are capable of a wide variety of designs for your business’s project in Mobile, AL.
As opposed to mills, which rely on spinning of the cutting tool, lathes instead rotate the workpiece as material is removed. In comparison 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 benefits translate into marked decreases in cost and defect rates for you in Mobile, AL.
