Machined Parts Chicago, IL

Machined Parts Chicago, IL. Machined parts are everywhere in Chicago, IL. From tiny metal fasteners used on the motherboard of your computer to aircraft engine components, Roberson Machine Company has manufactured all sorts of parts using our proven process of CNC machining.

Machined parts are more than simply objects manufactured utilizing our machinery. They are parts constructed using our cutting machines, like our CNC lathes and mills. Machined parts can be plastic, metal, or occasionally even some other materials, but they have to be made from a workpiece that can be cut without drastically altering its form. Machined parts come from a tried-and-tested manufacturing method that we have utilized as an industry standard for decades. No matter your Chicago, IL company’s industry, or in which component your machined parts are being utilized, they meet all industry-specific standards and certifications. We make sure of it.

Roberson Machine Company is a custom manufacturer of precision CNC machined parts. We make it simple to receive the custom machined parts you need in Chicago, IL. Call us today at 573-646-3996 or connect with us online.

What Materials Can Be Used For Machined Parts For My Chicago, IL Company?

Machined parts can be made from many different materials, including metals and plastics. However, some materials are easier to machine than others. Exceptionally hard materials are difficult to puncture with a cutting tool, perhaps causing the tool to vibrate more, thus likely reducing quality. Exceptionally soft materials, and materials with a low melting point, may become damaged upon contact with the cutting tool. Several of our most common machined part materials are listed below. As always, we’d be open to discussing the possibility of machining parts with other materials. Just call us at 573-646-3996 or reach out to us online.

• Metals: Aluminum (6061, 7075, 7050 or “aa7050 alloy”), Stainless Steel (303, 304), Magnesium, Titanium, Zinc, Brass, Bronze, Copper
• Plastics: ABS, PC, <a href="PC-ABS, PP, PS, POM, PMMA, PAGF30, PCGF30, Teflon, DHPE, HDPE, PPS, PEEK

What Are the Advantages of Using Machined Parts at My Chicago, IL Company?

Machined parts from Roberson Machine Company provide particular benefits that may not be possible with injection molded parts or even 3D printed parts in Chicago, IL. Some of the pivotal advantages in Chicago, IL are:

Quality

Machined parts can be made to an exceptionally high caliber, based entirely on your Chicago, IL company’s tolerances and specifications. This means our CNC machinists can take a little extra time on tight-tolerance workpieces and individual features to ensure the best quality.

Lead Times

Machined parts can be produced quicker than parts made via other manufacturing processes like Chicago, IL molding. This is mainly because of to the lack of labor-intensive tooling, being able to bank more on the CAD and CAM software our machinists input into the CNC machines. But the manufacturing process itself is also highly efficient – some of our CNC machines have rapid rates of nearly 45 yards per minute, although we do not machine parts at those speeds. The one-step nature of machining and the speed of our CNC machines combine to make machined parts some of the fastest to manufacture, reducing lead times for practical rapid prototyping and shorter time-to-market.

Design Freedom

Machined parts can have a wide variety of sizes and shapes. This is due to the fact that CNC machines are not subjected to the same limitations of molding, like tapering and thin walls. Machined parts can be robust and thick, yet their features can be fine and complex. Although machined parts have some limitations when it comes to, for example, internal sections and deep channels, machining still represents the most geometrically flexible manufacturing process for your Chicago, IL production run.

Alterations

Because CNC machined parts are produced from digital CAD files, it’s possible to make changes throughout the machining procedure, right up until the last minute. This is extremely useful during prototyping and our research and experimental development stages, when our engineers or your team may look to make slight, fractional adjustments or refinements to the machined part or develop numerous versions. It also lessens the likelihood of waste, as erroneous parts are far less likely to come off the machines.

Strength

Machined parts are cut from solid pieces of material known as blanks, which have typically been extruded or cast. This makes them foundationally strong in comparison to, say, for example, 3D printed parts, which can be predominantly flimsier along one axis, where one layer is added on top of the next.

Surface Finish

Machined parts entirely avoid the surface quality issues associated with molding such as flow lines, jetting, and flash at the parting line. With a moderate amount of post-processing, which is achieved in our value-added services, machined parts can be brought to an extremely high standard in terms of surface finish. Machining also gives a far superior surface finish to 3D printing, even prior to any secondary service has been carried out by our machinists. 3D printing can leave noticeable layer lines on the surface of the part, which must be smoothed over via chemical treatment or sanding. Machined parts do not have these layer lines.

No Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)

Machined parts are cut directly from a blank workpiece, making it cost-effective and possible to order extremely small quantities or even one-off parts. For molded parts, it is necessary to fabricate metal tooling – a process that seems endless and can be costly. But machining with Roberson Machine Company is unique in offering high-quality parts with no MOQ, making it a good option for smaller companies in Chicago, IL, small production runs, and prototyping.

What CNC Machinery is Necessary to Make Machined Parts For My Company in Chicago, IL?

The Roberson Machine Company facilities are fully stocked with top-of-the-line CNC machinery capable of manufacturing precisely machined parts in a fraction of the time as our competitors. Our full range of equipment includes:

• CNC Horizontal Mills

All mills use rotary cutting in the subtractive manufacturing process of removing materials from a workpiece, but our CNC mills combine the cutting procedure with the latest computer control to permit accurate and rapid manufacturing. Our horizontal CNC mills quickly and accurately cut your component material to the tightest of tolerances. Our CNC horizontal milling services revolve around modern 3 axis, 4 axis, and 5 axis machines.

• CNC Vertical Mills

Vertical CNC mills feature spindles that are perpendicular to the ground, making them ideal for jobs needing large production runs of moderately intricate parts. While horizontal mills are more beneficial in complicated milling projects, vertical mills are capable of an array of designs for your company’s project in Chicago, IL.

• CNC Horizontal Lathes

In contrast to mills, which bank on spinning of the cutting tool, lathes instead rotate the workpiece as material is subtracted. In comparison to manual lathes, which need a degree of expertise to operate, CNC lathes drastically lessen the amount of labor and the probability of human error. These advantages translate into marked decreases in cost and defect rates for your Chicago, IL company.
