Machining challenges
Irregular geometry can lack stable clamping faces. Related holes, slots and angled surfaces require consistent datums, while each material needs a suitable machining strategy.
Manufacturing route
Drawing review and DFM; modelling and simulation; blank preparation and temporary datums; roughing and stress relief; 5-axis finishing; support removal; finishing and inspection.
Key control points
Use temporary locating features, custom soft jaws and flexible supports. Apply material-specific tooling and cutting parameters; specified critical tolerances range from ±0.01 to ±0.02 mm.
Dimensional and surface inspection
Free-state CMM inspection checks critical dimensions and feature positions. First-article reports, material documentation and surface-finish checks support order-specific requirements.
The requirements and manufacturing route shown here apply to this project. New components are reviewed against their own drawings and agreed specifications.
