In today's booming modern manufacturing industry, CNC machining and precision machining are often mentioned. They sound similar, but in fact, there are many differences. As a professional precision parts processing service provider, Airy Precision Machinery will analyze the differences between the two for you.
CNC machining, that is, computer numerical control machining, is a method of controlling mechanical movement and machining processes using digital information. Simply put, the operator writes a program and inputs it into the CNC machine control system, and the machine tool can automatically complete various machining actions such as cutting, drilling, milling, etc. according to the instructions. In the field of CNC machining, CNC machining is widely used. For example, common mold machining, whether it is injection molds or die-casting molds, can efficiently complete the machining of complex shapes through CNC machining, greatly shortening the mold manufacturing cycle.
Precision machining focuses on the pursuit of extremely high machining accuracy and surface quality. It requires extremely small machining errors, usually operating within the precision range of microns or even nanometers. In precision machining, precision machining plays a key role. For example, in the machining of medical parts, tiny parts of pacemakers and key parts of artificial joints all require precision machining to ensure their dimensional accuracy and surface roughness to meet the high-precision requirements of medical devices and protect the life and health of patients.
From the perspective of application fields, CNC machining has a wide range of applications. In addition to mold processing, CNC machining can be seen in the automotive manufacturing, aerospace and other industries for the production of various parts. Precision machining is more concentrated in areas with extremely high precision requirements, such as optical instrument manufacturing, semiconductor chip manufacturing, etc. The products in these fields have extremely low tolerance for precision, and only precision machining can meet the needs.
Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the two. The advantages of CNC machining are high automation, fast processing efficiency, the ability to quickly transform designs into products, and the ability to process parts of complex shapes. However, its accuracy is lower than that of precision machining. The biggest advantage of precision machining is undoubtedly high precision, which can produce extremely precise parts, but the disadvantages are also obvious, with high processing costs, long processing cycles, and extremely high technical requirements for equipment and operators.
