Capability / CNC Machining

CNC machining for critical features after die casting

Secondary machining turns a cast shape into an assembly-ready part by controlling bores, faces, threads, seals and reference features.

CNC Machining in project context

Die casting creates the part geometry. CNC machining controls the features that cannot be achieved reliably by casting alone, including bearing bores, sealing faces, threaded holes and tight interfaces.

The machining plan should be defined with the casting drawing. Datum strategy, stock allowance, workholding, tool access and inspection method need to agree with the casting process.

  • Pump and valve bodies
  • Power enclosures
  • Camera and sensor housings
  • Robot and automation brackets

Project flow

How a cnc machining project moves forward

Each stage produces a decision or document that the next stage depends on. This keeps engineering, purchasing and production aligned.

01

Datum review

Define casting datums, machining datums and inspection datums.

02

Stock planning

Confirm casting allowance, fixture access and first-operation stability.

03

Process design

Select machines, tools, fixtures and inspection frequency.

04

Release

Approve first article and control the approved process through production.

Buyer questions

Questions to resolve before production.

These answers define the normal project path and the information needed for a useful quotation.

Provide the controlled 2D/3D drawing, material requirement, annual quantity, finishing requirement, critical dimensions, target market and delivery date.

An initial feasibility discussion is possible, but the quotation and tooling scope should be based on a controlled drawing revision.

Tolerance and inspection requirements are defined from the drawing, critical features, process capability and agreed datum strategy.

Ownership, storage, maintenance and transfer terms are defined in the quotation or supply agreement before the tooling project starts.
