Brass CNC Machining

Brass machining is a manufacturing process that involves the use of computer numerical control (CNC) machines to cut, form and manipulate brass, a metal alloy composed primarily of copper and zinc.

 

In brass CNC machining, a design is first created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. The design is then converted into a numeric code or G-code that the CNC machine can understand. the CNC machine interprets this code to perform the necessary operations, such as drilling, milling, turning or cutting, to create the desired brass assembly.

 

Process of Brass CNC Machining

Xintao can provide precision brass machined parts, 4 main steps for brass CNC machining:

 

1. Approval of technical drawings

 

The first stage of the machining process involves analyzing and approving the plans for the part. Parts are typically designed using technical drawings prior to machining.

 

The drawings should specify basic details such as tolerances, dimensions, surface finish, materials, etc.

 

2. Creating the model

 

Once the technical drawings have been approved, it is time to begin the second step. This step involves creating a model of the part to ensure that all specifications are correct when producing the part to scale.

 

3. Determine which machining technique to use and design the production flow chart

 

Based on the drawing information, the production engineer determines the production flow and process and identifies the production machine.

 

4. Machining the part

 

The machine engineer programs and machines the part based on the production flow chart.

 

Advantages of Brass CNC Machining

Brass has excellent plasticity, high strength, welding, good corrosion resistance, heat exchangers, tubes for paper making, machinery, electronic parts, etc.

 

With excellent cutting performance, high precision and accuracy, suitable for automatic lathe, CNC lathe processing of high precision parts.

 

Brass has golden hue and natural luster, can be used for decorative elements or high-end products with certain beauty.
