Copper & Aluminium Milling Services

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a process in which pre-programmed software controls the movement of tools and machinery to shape materials. In CNC milling, material is removed layer by layer from a solid workpiece to create a specific shape, dimension, or finish. The process is highly automated, ensuring precision and repeatability, and is used for creating complex components with high accuracy.

The key difference between CNC machining and traditional machining is automation. CNC machining uses computer-controlled tools to execute precise movements and operations based on digital designs, while traditional machining is usually manually controlled. CNC machining offers greater accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency, especially for complex shapes, compared to manual machining.

CNC machining is widely used across many industries, including:

• Power Engineering: For producing components used in power distribution and generation.
• Automotive: For creating parts for vehicles, such as engine components.
• Electronics: For manufacturing parts like connectors and housings.
• Medical: For precision medical instruments and implants.
• Construction and Industrial Machinery: For creating custom machine components
• Aerospace: For manufacturing precision components and parts.

CNC machining offers various control options depending on the complexity of the task:

• 3-Axis Control: Used for simpler machining processes, with movement along three linear axes (X, Y, and Z).
• 5-Axis Control: Enables more complex machining by adding rotation along two additional axes, allowing for intricate shapes and detailed workpieces.

Both options are available at Electris, depending on the needs of the specific project.

The tolerances for CNC machined parts depend on the specific requirements of the project, material, and machining method. At Electris, we offer tight tolerances to ensure precision in every part we produce. Common tolerances range from ±0.001 mm to ±0.005 mm, but we can adjust according to the specifications provided by the client.

Electris provides comprehensive CNC machining services, including:

• 3-axis and 5-axis CNC milling for producing complex, precise parts from copper, aluminum, and other metals.
• CNC turning for cylindrical components like rods, pins, connectors, and other turned parts. We have extensive capabilities for handling both large and small parts, including workpieces up to 4 meters long.

Yes, we offer turning for metal components, which allows for faster production times while maintaining accuracy. This process is ideal for high-precision parts that require rapid production without sacrificing quality.
