CNC Milling

First, AL FORGE selects the appropriate aluminum alloy material based on customer design requirements and cuts it into the proper shape and size. The workpiece is then installed onto the CNC milling machine’s worktable, secured using fixtures to ensure it remains stable and free from movement or deformation during the machining process.

Based on the customer’s design drawings or CAD models, technical staff write the appropriate CNC program. These programs ensure that the milling machine operates along predetermined paths, cutting depths, and feed rates to complete the precise machining of the workpiece.

In CNC milling, the appropriate milling cutter is selected based on the part’s shape, material, and machining requirements. Common cutters include end mills, face mills, and ballnose mills. Choosing the right tool increases machining efficiency and ensures the accuracy of the parts. The CNC milling machine then executes the programmed cuts, making precise movements in multiple directions to achieve the final shape of the workpiece.

During the machining process, AL FORGE’s technicians continuously monitor the operation of the CNC milling machine to ensure the process proceeds smoothly. If any abnormalities, such as tool wear or instability in operation, are detected, machine settings are immediately adjusted to ensure precision is maintained.

After milling, the parts undergo postprocessing, including deburring and surface polishing, to improve the surface quality and appearance of the components. Subsequently, professional quality inspection is performed to ensure that all dimensions and tolerances meet the design requirements and conform to customer quality standards.

Parts such as lower control arms, upper control arms, and vehicle body structures are critical components that require high strength and the ability to withstand significant impacts. CNC milling enables these parts to be machined with precise structures and dimensions, ensuring they meet the high standards of the automotive industry.

Parts such as handlebars, seat posts, and frames are subject to stringent weight and strength requirements. CNC milling ensures these parts maintain the required strength and precision while minimizing weight, all while maintaining sufficient structural stability.

Parts like footrests and frame structures need to withstand significant external forces while maintaining stability. CNC milling can achieve highprecision machining, ensuring the durability and stability of the parts.

Parts such as deepdrawn tubes, shock absorber mounts, and fasteners play crucial roles in industrial equipment. CNC milling can precisely machine complex shapes and holes, providing highquality surface finishes that ensure these parts perform reliably over extended periods.
