Core Advantages

Technical Features

We use our self-developed, customized production process, strictly controlling every step from raw material inspection to finished product testing to ensure stable and reliable product quality.

1
Material Inspection & Preparation

AL6061-T651 plates/bars are inspected for material certification and dimensional accuracy prior to machining.

2
CNC Programming & Simulation

Engineers generate optimized toolpaths using CAM software (Mastercam/HyperMill), simulating machining to verify collision-free operation.

3
Precision CNC Machining

High-speed 3/4/5-axis CNC machining centers execute roughing and finishing passes, maintaining tight tolerances.

4
Deburring & Edge Finishing

All sharp edges and burrs are removed manually and mechanically to ensure safe handling and assembly fit.

5
Quality Inspection

Dimensional inspection using CMM, optical comparator, and precision gauges verifies all critical features.

6
Surface Finishing

Parts undergo bead-blasting to achieve uniform matte surface, followed by Type II (sulfuric) or Type III (hard coat) anodizing as specified.

7
Final Cleaning & Packaging

Parts are cleaned ultrasonically to remove any residues, inspected for surface defects, and packaged in anti-static or custom packaging.

8
Documentation & Delivery

Each order includes inspection reports, material certifications (EN 10204 3.1), and shipping documentation.

Leveraging stringent material selection and scientifically engineered processes—from raw billet to finished machined part—our AL6061 CNC components deliver superior mechanical performance and dimensional stability for even the most demanding applications.

Precision Dimensional Control

High-speed 5-axis machining achieves ±0.01 mm tolerances on critical features, ensuring precise alignment with mating components such as PCBs, connectors, and enclosures.
