Machined Parts Portland, OR

Machined Parts Portland, OR. Machined parts are everywhere around you in Portland, OR. From tiny metal fasteners used on the motherboard of your computer to aircraft engine components, Roberson Machine Company has manufactured all sorts of parts using our proven process of CNC machining.

Machined parts are more than simply objects manufactured using our machinery. They are parts fabricated using our cutting machines, like our CNC lathes and mills. Machined parts can be plastic, metal, or perhaps some other materials on occasion, but they have to come from a workpiece that can be cut without majorly deforming. Machined parts come from a tried-and-tested manufacturing technique that we have used as an industry standard for decades. Regardless of your Portland, OR company’s industry, or in which piece of equipment your machined parts are being utilized, they meet all industry-specific certifications and standards. We guarantee it.

Roberson Machine Company is a custom manufacturer of precision CNC machined parts. We make it simple to receive the custom machined parts you need in Portland, OR. Give us a call right away at 573-646-3996 or reach out to us online.

What Materials Can Be Used For Machined Parts For My Portland, OR Company?

Machined parts can be made from many different materials, including metals and plastics. However, some materials are easier to machine than others. Extremely hard materials are difficult to puncture with a cutting tool, perhaps causing the tool to shake or vibrate more, thus possibly diminishing quality. Extremely soft materials, and materials with a low melting point, may become damaged once coming into contact with the cutting tool. Some of our most common machined part materials are listed below. As always, we are available to discussing the possibility of machining parts with other materials. Just give us a call at 573-646-3996 or contact 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 Portland, OR?

Machined parts from Roberson Machine Company provide particular advantages that may not be possible with injection molded parts or even 3D printed parts in Portland, OR. Some of the key advantages for your Portland, OR company are:

Quality

Machined parts can be made to an exceptionally high standard, based primarily on your Portland, OR company’s specifications and tolerances. This means our CNC machinists can take a little extra time on tight-tolerance workpieces and individual features to guarantee the best quality.

Lead Times

Machined parts can be produced faster than pieces made via other manufacturing production like Portland, OR molding. This is mostly because of to the lack of labor-intensive tooling, therefore being able to rely more on the CAD and CAM software our machinists input into the CNC machines. But our manufacturing process itself is also highly efficient – some of our CNC machines have rapid rates of nearly 45 yards per minute, even though we don’t manufacture machined 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 manufacture, reducing lead times for practical rapid prototyping and shorter time-to-market.

Design Freedom

Machined parts can have a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This is due to the fact that CNC machines are not subjected to the same constraints of molding, like tapering and thin walls. Machined parts can be robust and thick, yet their features can be intricate and detailed. Despite machined parts having some limitations when it comes to, for example, internal sections and deep channels, machining still represents the most geometrically flexible manufacturing procedure for your Portland, OR production run.

Alterations

Because CNC machined parts are produced from digital CAD files, it’s possible to make alterations throughout the machining process, right up until the final moment. This is extremely helpful throughout prototyping and our research and experimental development stages, when your staff or our engineers might want to make slight, fractional adjustments or refinements to the machined part or create numerous versions. It also reduces the likelihood of waste, as erroneous 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 cast or extruded. This makes them foundationally solid in comparison to, for example, 3D printed parts, which can be much flimsier along one axis, where one layer is added on top of the next.

Surface Finish

While molding parts deals with surface quality issues such as flow lines, jetting, and flash at the parting line, machined parts completely circumvent them. With a moderate amount of post-processing, which is achieved in our value-added services, machined parts can be brought to a high standard regarding surface finish. Machining also gives a better surface finish to 3D printing, even prior to any secondary service has been started by our machinists. 3D printing leaves noticeable layer lines on the surface of the part, which then 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 cost-effective and available in small quantities or even one-off parts due to the fact that they are cut directly from a blank workpiece. It is a requirement when molding parts that you fabricate metal tooling – a procedure that seems endless and can be expensive. However, machining with Roberson Machine Company is unique in offering high-quality parts with no MOQ, making it a good option for smaller businesses in Portland, OR, small production runs, and prototyping.

What CNC Machinery is Necessary to Make Machined Parts For My Company in Portland, OR?

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 compared to 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 permit rapid and accurate production. Our horizontal CNC mills quickly and accurately cut 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 perpendicular to the ground, making them ideal for projects requiring large production runs of moderately intricate parts. Although horizontal mills are better suited for more difficult milling jobs, vertical mills are adept in an array of designs for your business’s project in Portland, OR.

• CNC Horizontal Lathes

As opposed to mills, which bank on rotation of the cutting tool, lathes instead rotate the workpiece as material is cut. Compared to manual lathes, which need a degree of expertise to operate, CNC lathes drastically lessen the amount of labor and the probability of human error. These benefits translate into marked decreases in cost and defect rates for you in Portland, OR.
