Separating / cutting

Initial Inspection: Upon receiving the cast components, our team conducts a thorough inspection to assess any surface defects or irregularities. We utilize precision measurement tools to ensure that each part adheres to the specified tolerances.

Setup and Tool Selection: Based on the geometry and material of the cast part, we carefully select appropriate cutting tools and fixtures. This step is crucial for optimizing cutting efficiency and minimizing tool wear. We often use carbide or high-speed steel tools, depending on the material properties.

Machining Operations: The actual separating cutting process involves various machining operations, including:

Sawing: For large excess material removal, we utilize band saws or circular saws to efficiently cut the casting into manageable sizes.

Milling: We employ CNC milling machines to remove material from complex geometries, ensuring precise dimensions are achieved.

Turning: For cylindrical parts, turning is performed on a lathe to create a smooth, finished surface while maintaining tight tolerances.

Cooling and Lubrication: Throughout the separating cutting process, we implement effective cooling and lubrication techniques to reduce heat generation and minimize tool wear. This not only prolongs the life of our tools but also enhances the quality of the surface finish.

Finishing Operations: After the primary cutting, finishing operations are executed, such as grinding or honing, to achieve the desired surface finish and dimensional accuracy. This stage is crucial for applications requiring high precision, such as aerospace or automotive components.

Final Quality Control: Once the separating cutting and finishing are complete, each part undergoes rigorous quality control checks. Our team utilizes advanced measurement techniques, including coordinate measuring machines (CMM), to ensure that every component meets or exceeds industry standards.

Preparation for Delivery: Finally, the machined parts are cleaned, packaged, and prepared for delivery, ensuring that they arrive in pristine condition for assembly or further processing.
