CNC High Speed Hard Milling
Precision Products offers state of the art three axis hard milling on a 40,000 rpm Swiss spindle Mikron milling machine. While many shops offer three axis milling, very few offer the ability to mill hardened parts. This allows us to heat treat parts and then perform the final milling to ensure the part remains true to the required dimensional tolerances and not "move" during heat treating which is often an over looked source of part variation.
The capabilities of the Mikron allow us to machine up to Rc 61 while holding tolerances of +,- .0001” on a production basis. The Mikron also produces superior surface finishes when compared to traditional CNC milling. The Mikron is also fitted with an advanced palletizing system that allows us to run many parts in an automated lights out basis further reducing your cost. Even when running in fully automated mode we are able to hold very tight tolerances due to the automatic laser tool measurement feature built into our machine. Once tool wear reaches a critical point, the machine replaces it with a new tool from its magazine and locks out the worn tool. If the laser measures severe tool wear it will even rerun the last operation to ensure the dimensions are maintained.
Industries Served
PPI services many industries including textile, power generation, medical, defense, automotive, firearms, plastic and rubber extrusion, jet turbine fuel systems, aerospace and many others. Parts such as molds, cores, inserts, die punches and forging dies are no problem for the state of the art Mikron.
Machine Capacities
X= 15.75", Y=17.72", Z=13.78"
Using the Mikron PPI is able to machine hard tool steels such as D2, M2, M4, S7, H13, A2 and many other hardened tool steels. The Swiss spindle of the Mikron operates as speeds up to 40,000 rpms and uses a shrink fit tool holder to ensure the tooling is in the exact center of the spindle.
Engineering
PPI also offers a full staff of engineers capable of reverse engineering your parts and creating our own tolerance drawings, or we can use your supplied drawings to produce parts.
R&D and small runs
Precision Products is a job shop which means we are accustomed to running small batches including R&D projects that require only one for prototypes.
