As a leading five-axis CNC machining manufacturer, Great Light is very good at the capabilities and limitations of this advanced manufacturing technology. In this article, we will dig into the limitations of CNC machinery and help you better understand the challenges and requirements of achieving precise parts production.
Substance restrictions
One of the main limitations of CNC machining is the type of material that can be processed. While most metals (such as aluminum, steel and titanium can be processed), the use of certain materials (such as titanium alloys and exotic metals) is more challenging. This is due to their unique characteristics such as high hardness, strength and ductility, which require specialized tools and techniques to accurately machining.
Geometric limitations
CNC machining is also limited by the complexity of part geometry. Simple shapes such as cylinders, spherical and straight lines are easy to work with, but complex shapes with tensile characteristics, grooved surfaces and complex details pose a major challenge. The more complex and difficult the parts are, the more numerous, the higher the risk of errors, vibrations and even machine failures.
Surface finish restrictions
The surface surface surface surface surface surface surface surface of the CNC production section is also crucial. Although most CNC machines can achieve high levels of finish, the desired effect is not achieved in some cases. For example, certain materials or geometry may not allow the use of machine cutting tools, or specialized processes may be required, such as electrical emission machining (EDM) or laser cutting.
Safety and industry restrictions
Finally, some safety and industry-specific regulations must be considered when machining using CNC. For example, certain industries (such as aerospace or highly responsible applications) need to adhere to strict regulations and specifications, which may limit the types of materials, geometry, and surfaces used.
In summary, although CNC machining offers many benefits, it is necessary to understand the limitations and potential challenges that may arise. By understanding material, geometry, surface surface and safety limitations, you can better plan and prepare for the machining process. Very bright, our experienced engineers can help you with these challenges and ensure your precision parts are produced to the highest standards.
