This comprehensive approach ensures that the parts are not only made precisely, but also precise specifications, thereby improving their performance and life.

The process of CNC machining aluminum involves several key steps starting with design and programming. Here, CAD (Computer Aided Design) software is used to create a detailed model of the parts to be processed and then convert it into machine-specific code guiding the CNC machining center. The actual machining process may involve various operations such as milling, turning, drilling and grinding, depending on the complexity of the part and the required functionality. The five-axis capability of Great Light’s CNC machining equipment allows for intricate shapes and functions with high precision, reducing the need for multiple settings and increasing overall efficiency.

One of the significant advantages of CNC-processed aluminum is its ability to produce sections with tight tolerances and precise dimensional control. This is critical for the performance and reliability of the assembled product to depend on the precise fit and function of each component. Furthermore, the use of aluminum in CNC machining provides a great opportunity to lose weight without damaging strength, which is especially beneficial in the aerospace and automotive sectors where lighter components can significantly improve fuel efficiency and overall system performance.

In addition to its technical advantages, Great Light’s CNC machining aluminum approach emphasizes customer satisfaction and flexibility.
