CNC machining center is widely used in machined the components with complex shape, high precision and Multi-process machining such as:
1. Case Accessories (Enclosure Machining)
The case accessories normally has many Cavities inside and they are wildly used in Automobile industry and aviation industry. Such as automobile engine cylinder, Gearbox, Machine tool main Axle Box, Diesel engine cylinder, Gear pump Shell, etc. CNC machining center can complete 60-95% processing of general machine. With its characteristics of high processing efficiency and automatic tool changing, as long as we draw up the control plan, produce the craft process, proper use of special fixtures and cutters, it easy to produce case accessories.
2.Parts With Complex Curved Surface
Parts with complex surfaces are widely used in aviation, aerospace and transportation fields.Such as the cam, integral impeller of aero-engine, propeller, die cavity, etc. It is difficult to achieve the predetermined precision and difficult to detect just by using the common machine tool or precision casting when machining these parts with complex surface contour. However, these complex parts can be processed using a multi-axis linkage machining center, combined with automatic programming techniques and special cutting tools.
3.Irregular Shape Parts
Irregular shape parts most need point, line, surface multi-station mixed machining.(such as supports, bases).CNC machining center Show its superiority to machining those complex parts.
4. Plate And Coat Parts
These parts in general has keyway and radial hole, End-face distributed with holes or
curved surface. Such as axle sleeve with flange, motor covers .vertical machining centre is a good choice.
5. Prototype-sample For New Products
CNC machining centers process a wide range of adaptability and flexibility. Input new programming to realize machining. Sometime process by modifying program segment or special instruction. Use the scale function command to process parts of the same shape and different sizes. It provides a lot of convenience for single piece, small batch and multi-variety production and Shortened production cycle.
FAQ:
CNC machining centers are ideal for components with complex shapes, high precision requirements, and multiple machining processes—especially in the automotive, aerospace, and machinery industries.
Case accessories refer to structural parts with internal cavities, such as engine blocks, gearboxes, and pump housings. CNC centers are preferred for these due to their ability to automate multi-surface machining with high efficiency and accuracy.
Using multi-axis linkage and automatic programming, CNC centers can accurately machine parts like aero-engine impellers, cams, dies, and propellers, which are difficult to process using traditional methods.
Irregular parts often require combined point, line, and surface machining. CNC centers excel at multi-station mixed machining, offering superior performance over conventional equipment for these tasks.
Yes, CNC centers—especially vertical machining centers—are suitable for plate or coat parts with features like keyways, radial holes, or distributed hole patterns (e.g., motor covers or flanged sleeves).
They allow flexible programming, quick reconfiguration, and scale-based machining, which is ideal for producing one-off samples, small batches, or product variants with different dimensions.
With capabilities like automatic tool changing, multi-face machining, and high-speed precision, CNC centers dramatically reduce processing time while maintaining consistency.
Automatic programming allows the generation of precise tool paths for intricate surfaces and contours, reducing manual input, errors, and setup time for complicated geometries.
Aerospace, automotive, marine, and advanced manufacturing sectors rely heavily on CNC machining for components like turbine blades, engine parts, gear housings, and molds.
Yes, through programming adjustments and scale commands, CNC centers can easily produce parts with the same shape but in varying sizes—greatly supporting flexible manufacturing.
