Products of Precision Machining—Medical, Aerospace, Automotive & Metrology
When it comes to modern machine shops, one can find shops of all hues and descriptions. There are general machine shop facilities that will concentrate on high mix, low-volume jobs offering their services to clients from different industries while there are others who narrow down their operations to cater to only high-volume jobs. In contrast to both, the most highly sophisticated machine shops serve a diverse range of customers, accepting offers of varying volumes and at the same time, offering the best value to the customers. This is made possible by the use of complex lean production strategies and techniques that are particular to the work specifications of the machine shop in question. Without going into the details of that, in this article, we will rather discuss the product requirements of industries as diverse as medical, aerospace, automotive, metrology, etc.-all of which, however, can be effectively managed by a state-of-the-art high mix modern precision machine shop.
No matter whether it is medical drilling devices, aerospace equipment, or custom automotive tools, all machineries or parts of them require some level of precision machining skills. Most modern shops perform their precision machine works with the help of software programs such as TurboCAD or AutoCAD. These programs prepare computer-generated 3D blueprints which need to be adhered to the very last detail to ensure the integrity of the product. Every general machine shop requires to perform a good deal of precision machining since it reaches to all industries and every technology.
Medical Machine Shop
A medical machine shop needs to tackle challenges which are often specific to the manufacture of medical parts. The medical parts include all kinds of orthotic devices, surgical implants and the plethora of other medical instruments. The challenges faced by a medical machine shop involve machining titanium, small-scale machining, machining plastic, small-batch machining as well as custom machining.
Automotive Machine Shop
Products and work operations of an automotive machine shop likewise cover a great range. There is auto parts manufacturing, motorcycle parts, engine rebuilding, design services, prototyping, industrial machining, to name but a few. Most modern machine shops will normally integrate these different activities following the principles of lean production.
Metrology Machine Shop
The most common products manufactured in a metrology machine shop include small, medium, large, shop floor and horizontal arm CMMs, automated solutions, laser scanners, hand tools & gauge, laser trackers systems, industrial theodolites, multisensory systems, and more.
Aeorspace Machine Shop
A typical aerospace machine shop will cater to aeorspace and defense industries. The most common products include Actuators, Bushings, Housings, Panels, Castings, Splined Shafts, Gears, Valve Bodies, Couplings, Connectors, etc. Manufacturing processes involve mechanical and electrical assembly, complex turning and milling, gun drilling, grinding, kiting, EDM, etc.
