What to Look for in a CNC Machining Parts Supplier 

Due to the varied nature of all types of parts that are manufactured through the machining process, it is important to select a supplier that has a broad range of machining capabilities. Since complex machined parts sometimes approach violating the laws of physics when being manufactured, the firm you select must have demonstrated capabilities in manufacturing these types of complex parts. Not all machining suppliers are the same, so it is important to choose the right CNC machining parts supplier. Below, our team has outlined what you should be looking for in your manufacturing partner. 

CNC Machining Capabilities

The manufacturer you partner with should offer all of the CNC machining services you require, including the milling and lathe (turning) processes needed to make your precision parts. Additionally, CNC machines are programmed ahead of time, so it is vital that the partner you choose has qualified engineers who are able to properly program these machines so your parts meet all of your specifications. 

Industries They Serve

Your CNC machining part supplier should have experience in your industry so you can rest assured knowing that they have the knowledge and skills needed to meet the requirements and standards of your industry. At Garland Service Company, we service various critical industries. 

Aerospace

Due to the inherent safety risk of machines being in the air, the aerospace industry has some of the strictest manufacturing standards, and a big part of these standards have to do with complex machined parts. These parts have critical applications in aircraft and must be able to withstand the extreme conditions they will be subjected to. Complex machined parts in aircraft range from interior parts to exterior parts that are involved in meeting either structural or functional requirements. 

Defense

The military requires complex machined parts for all of their machinery, including their vehicles and aircraft. These precision parts are crucial to the function of the equipment, which is key to keeping members of our military safe and secure. Complex machined parts in the defense industry range from the smallest part to the largest — including pins, rotors, screws, fuzes, firing pins, parts of door actuation systems, parts of missile guidance systems, and more.  

Automotive

In the automotive industry, safety and functionality are crucial requirements. Complex machined parts for this industry require tight tolerances in order to function properly and keep vehicles running properly for longer. Precision parts in the automotive industry include sensor housings, valves, seals, spools, transmission systems, connector pins, fuel systems, body shafts, and more. 

The Process of High Precision Machining 

Your machining partner should also have the expertise needed to complete the CNC processes required for precision parts

CNC Milling

During this process, rotary cutters are used to remove material from a workpiece in order to create the parts you need. There are 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling processes to best meet your needs. 3-axis milling uses tools that move along the X-, Y-, and Z-axes that create sharp edges, drill holes, and perform boring and tapping operations. 4-axis milling is used to cut holes, cut along arcs, carve cut-outs, and perform precision engravings, milling, and drilling. 

CNC Turning

CNC turning involves rotating the workpiece along the central axis with a linearly moving cutting tool that removes material to form the part you desire. This process can be used to create parts with intricate designs that require tight tolerances.  

Additional Capabilities

In addition to manufacturing complex machined parts, some firms can assemble a customer-designed fixture. By adding the assembly requirement to your project, your manufacturer will be able to reveal any design issues before the fixture is placed into production to reduce your costs later in the manufacturing process.  

Manufacturing Certifications

Your CNC machining parts supplier should be dedicated to the quality of your parts and the best way to show that is through manufacturing certifications. Some of the manufacturing certifications you should look for in your chosen partner include AS9100 and ISO 9001. However, if you are in the defense industry, your partner must have an ITAR registration.
