Large CNC machining is a subdivision of CNC machining designed to manufacture large diameter products. As a CNC machining process, it has many advantages such as high precision and accuracy. This is the reason why it is well suited for different industrial sectors. However, large CNC machining is not that simple. It is necessary to understand the timing, manner and other things of the manufacturing process.
Application of large CNC machining
Large CNC machining is a type of CNC machining for the manufacture of large machine parts. Many industries require large CNC machining to make parts for their products, tools or machines. However, the number of industries that use the process is limited due to its size. The following are common industries that use the manufacturing process.
The automotive industry uses small CNC machining to build prototype vehicles. However, in real-time production, they tend to use large CNC machining to make parts for engines, shafts, and other vehicle components.
The aerospace industry relies on large CNC machining because of its high precision and accuracy. This is the better approach as it provides on-demand replacement and upgrade parts for machines.
To generate energy efficiently, large size parts are required. Manufacturing these parts requires attributes beyond CNC machining. Due to the size of the product, large CNC machining is the concept of the process. Examples of such products are power generation engines and turbine housings.
Mining equipment is used in high volume and intensity. This is due to the stresses associated with mining. Therefore, large diameter machining is the right process for manufacturing parts such as rack and pinion, rocker arms and gearboxes.
Large-scale CNC machining is essential for the manufacture of drilling stations for most equipment. Examples of such parts are connecting rods, mud/frac pumps and gearboxes.
What is 5-axis CNC machining?
5 axis CNC machining is the process of using a CNC to move different parts or cutting machines across five separate axes at once. This makes it easy to produce highly complex parts, which is why 5-axis CNC machining is so common in aerospace operations.
5-Axis CNC Turn-milling is the advanced version of CNC turn-milling, which can process parts in 5 axes. Both the production efficiency and precision are improved greatly.
Custom 5-axis CNC turn-milling parts
Milling is a process similar to drilling or cutting, using cylindrical cutting tools that can rotate along multiple axes-something you can't do with traditional drilling. Utilizing computer numerical control can increase accuracy and make CNC 5-axis milling a reliable production method for creating shapes, holes, slots and impressions for your custom milled parts.
Our CNC milling machines can perform up to five axes of machining, providing +/ inch accuracy on critical features. The 5-axis CNC milling machine is considered to be one of the most versatile milling machines available. It allows us to shape very complex parts and assemblies, such as aerospace and automotive parts, scale models, medical devices, etc. 5-axis machines allow parts to be completed with minimal setup, thus reducing the cost of simpler components.
Custom 5 axis CNC turned parts
CNC turning is another very common process for machining custom parts. It involves rotating the part on a lathe while a single-point cutting tool moves parallel to the axis of rotation, shaping the material as directed by a computer code programmed by our skilled precision engineers. Fast, efficient, detailed - and much more accurate than what can be achieved by hand.
Our machines can manufacture parts up to 680*450*400cm in size.
CNC machining has many available materials for custom prototyping and manufacturing parts, from hard metals such as stainless steel and titanium to soft metals such as aluminum, copper and brass, all the way to plastics including ABS, PC, PA and more.
With multiple 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC machines in China, Kesu Group is the ideal choice for outsourcing your custom machined parts and precision machining services. We offer over 100 different types of materials and surface finishes and have extensive experience in seamless transitions from prototype machining to production machining.
Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) is also called plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), it is an electrochemical surface treatment process that produces protective oxide coatings on certain metals. MAO is usually performed in aqueous electrolytes, which requires intensive bath cooling and results in the formation of coatings containing impurities derived from the electrolyte. Micro-arc oxidation is developed on the basis of anodic oxidation technology, and its coating is better than anodic oxidation. The micro-arc oxidation process mainly relies on the matching adjustment of the electrolyte and the electrical parameters. Under the action of the instantaneous high temperature and high pressure generated by the arc discharge, the surface of the metals such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium and their alloys, will be formed with a modified ceramic coating which will be dominated by the matrix metal oxides and assisted with electrolyte components.

The main component of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating is carbon, which is an amorphous hard film with high hardness and excellent friction properties. It is composed of graphite (SP2) and diamond (SP3). Because of its excellent friction properties, it is widely used in industry. Especially in the absence of lubricant, the friction coefficient is also very low (µ=～).
Rapid Prototyping Service providing multiple manufacturing solution for R&D products. Such as Silicone Molding, plastic Injection Molding, 3D Printing (SLA, SLS, SLM, MJF, DLP), and CNC machining etc.
RAPID PROTOTYPING, or RAPID PROTOTYPING MANUFACTURING, abbreviation for RPM.
RP technology is mainly suitable for new product development, rapid single-part and small-batch parts manufacturing, complex-shaped parts manufacturing, mold and model design and manufacturing. It is also suitable for the manufacture of difficult-to-process materials, shape design inspection, assembly inspection and rapid reverse engineering, etc.
According to the materials used in the production, the prototypes can be divided into plastic prototypes, silicone prototypes, metal prototypes, and clay prototypes.
Kesu Hardward Group have considerable experience in plastic prototypes and metal prototypes.
