Industries That Use CNC Machinery

CNC Machines are known for their speed, accuracy, precision, and capability to produce tolerant and quality parts and items. This innovation helps operations to be time-bound, improve stock management, and saves money on both material waste and manpower resulting in increased profit.

Since these machines have reputable benefits, industries have grown accustomed and chose it to be their partner in producing quality parts (and items) and fulfill the needs of their industry. To date, CNC machines are prevalent in industries such as:

Aerospace

CNC Machines are reputed for producing precise and quality complex parts. Aerospace industries apply strict regulations on airplanes and it is important that its parts meet their quality standard. The parts used on airplanes should be highly accurate, precise, and should have a tolerance rate within ±0.0001. Airplanes are built to withstand intense pressure, high temperature, and speed. Parts that are built incorrectly could lead to horrible incidents.

The common CNC machine used in their production is the CNC 5-axis machine. Materials used in the production are mostly aluminum, plastic, titanium, nickel, and alloy.

The items mostly produced by CNC machines for this industry are –

  • Electronics
  • Antennae (for Transmission)
  • Landing Gears
  • Bearing Houses
  • Airfoils
  • Hydraulic Manifolds
  • Fuel Bodies
  • Radio Frequency Suppressors
  • Housings

Commercial

As much as its use in top-grade industries, CNC machines contribute in making our day to day lives easier. They manufacture commercial products that can be found in our homes and aid us in our routines. These items should be made in high volumes whilst keeping the production cost low. Items produced should retain its supposed dimension and quality while remaining affordable. CNC machines provide both speed and accuracy. It also keeps the production cost low since it maximizes the use of the materials and manpower, thus, addressing the needs of this certain industry.

Most products produced in this industry are –

  • Cleaning Equipment
  • Aftermarket Products
  • Toys
  • Home Décor
  • Packaging Equipment
  • Outdoor Power Equipment

Electronics

Much like commercial pieces, electronics play a vital role in today’s society. These items are preferably lightweight and compact due to the on-going trend in the miniaturization of consumer electronics. The parts used on these items should be precise and can either be small or large pieces, have unusual shapes, and/or with intricate details. The CNC machines are capable of producing small or large electronic pieces that are precisely close to the required dimension. It is also able to build prototypes for evaluating newly created designs and help determine whether it is feasible or should be improved prior to releasing it to the market.

CNC machines have become essential for manufacturing technologies. The most common pieces made by CNC machines for the electronic industry are –

  • Fashioning Connectors
  • Housing for Amplifiers
  • Semiconductors
  • Electrical Insulation
  • Test Fixtures
  • Housing
  • Heat Sinks
  • PCBs

Medical

Medical-grade equipment is required to be highly accurate and precise to the recommended dimensions – there is no room for error. Inaccurate precision could increase the margin of error, discomfort, or worse – death. Implants should perfectly fit the patient or it could cause discomfort, worsen the situation, or end up useless. Parts used on medical-grade equipment should fit perfectly together for it to function correctly.

Objects used in the medical field are disposable to prevent infectious diseases and protect their patients. With the inflow of patients on a daily basis, the hospital needs a high volume of medical tools and equipment – fast.

The CNC machines are reputed for producing accurate, precise, and tolerant parts/objects all while being time-bound. The most common items produced by the CNC machines for the medical industry are:

  • Medical screws
  • Insulin Pumps
  • Monitoring Devices
  • Medical Instruments
  • Research Equipment
  • MRI Machines
  • Implants
  • Bone Plates
  • Ventilator Parts
  • FDA-Approved Products
  • Surgical Tools
  • Sterile Packaging

The importance of CNC machines soared due to the demand and its ability to address the demand in an accurate, precise, cost-efficient, and time-bound manner; and it has become a reliable partner for every industry that mass manufactures quality and uniformed parts (and items) that are needed for our day-to-day lives – and making our lives easier.
