What is Precision Machining, Its Purpose and Applications?

Precision machining is a process in which material is removed from the component and is machined to very high tolerance. Precision machining is used in a wide range of applications in electrical, chemical and mechanical  industries. It is an advanced technology that is used to machine materials to very tight tolerance levels. Special CNC machines and diamond drill tools are used for this purpose.

Top-notch tools and equipment such as 3 axis machining centers, 5 axis machining centers, high speed drills, laser microscope, etc are used to machine  materials while holding the critical tolerance levels. The machining machines are operated by highly skilled, trained machinists and engineers. Each machined product has to gone through strict quality checks to ensure high quality products are supplied to the customers.

Various materials such as  metals, non-metals and ceramics offer an excellent blend of  properties and therefore, can be used to produce various products for various industrial niche. To know which material are perfect for your industry, you can consult the experts who would guide you about the properties and applications of each  material. Consequently, you can pick a right material satisfying your industrial needs.

Precision machining is a broad term that encapsulates milling, drilling, grinding, tapping, sawing and machining to give a material desired shape and dimensions. Since the properties of materials are different from each other, therefore, their machining requirements will also be different.The precision machining services can also be customized according to the needs of the customers.

Machining of Aluminium Nitride and its Various Applications

Aluminium Nitride is widely used in the machining because of its outstanding ability to dissipate heat, in addition to its excellent mechanical and electrical properties. The thermal conductivity of the Aluminium Nitride is generally eight times higher than Alumina. It has offers excellent resistance to plasma erosion and wafer processing gases.

Machining Aluminium Nitride allows aluminum nitride to be used in a number of electronics applications. It is used to heat sinks, electrical insulators for lasers, electrical insulators, chip carriers, chucks, clamp rings and detectors. Machining of process involves forming, grinding and finishing. There are various types of machining tools available, which can be used alone or in conjunction with other tools.  Boring tools are used as finishing equipments to enlarge holes, which are previously cut into the material. On the other hand, cutting tools such as saws and shears are used for cutting purposes.  They are widely used to cut materials in accurate dimensions to give them a perfect shape.

For machining Aluminium Nitride products, CNC machining is also widely used. It is a computer aided technique which can be used for a wide range of equipment. It requires special software and programming to guide a machine tools perform shaping work. CNC Machining is an automatic process, and produces high production cycles, low manufacturing costs and uniform production.
