Affordable Precision Machining: The Quest for Cost-Effective CNC Machining

The necessity of cost-effective CNC machining

1. CNC machining improves production efficiency

Under traditional processing methods, workers need to manually control the workpiece and use manual processing equipment for processing. The precision of the products processed in this way is difficult to guarantee, and the production efficiency is low, and the processing cycle is too long, so it is difficult to meet the needs of modern and efficient production. However, CNC machining can be controlled by computer programs, and the motion trajectory and cutting speed of the machine tool have been greatly improved, which can greatly improve production efficiency.

2. CNC machining improves product accuracy

Numerical control machining through the program to control the parameters of the machining machine tool, so that the workpiece size accuracy is higher, the surface is smoother, in line with a certain tolerance within the limit can achieve higher accuracy, so it has been widely used.

3. CNC machining costs are lower

Numerical control machining can reduce labor costs because it can be processed automatically and does not require manual participation. And because of the high production efficiency of CNC machining, the processing cycle can be shortened, and materials and other resources can be saved, which can greatly reduce production costs.

4. CNC machining is convenient

Traditional machining requires the operator to have a certain technology, and the processing repeatability is low, but also requires the operator technology. Numerical control machining only needs to master the numerical control program, you can quickly complete the process operation, not only improve the production efficiency, but also greatly reduce the difficulty of operation.

5. CNC machining and manufacturing products with stable precision

In the traditional manual processing, because the process operation of the workers is difficult to be stable, the precision of the processed products is difficult to guarantee, in this case, the accuracy and quality of the final product is also unstable. In CNC machining, the product processing process is highly automated and precise control, and high-precision products can be manufactured more stably.

Yumei’s unique cost optimization strategy

First, lean production layout and logistics system can speed up the processing efficiency of materials, reduce the residence time of products in process, and greatly improve the production efficiency of the workshop. On the contrary, unreasonable production layout design causes a series of problems for subsequent production activities, increases downtime and wastes time, thereby reducing production efficiency, CNC logistics imbalance, increases logistics costs, and reduces the flexibility of multi-variety and small-batch production models. Therefore, the layout design of the factory (workshop) is one of the decisive factors for the improvement of product capacity and the reduction of production costs. The lean and parameterized workshop layout simulation design will make the workshop automation system more flexible.

Second, Yumei adopts unique process innovation to save costs while maintaining product quality.

• Process design: Before the mechanical manufacturing process, a detailed process and program must be developed to enable the entire manufacturing process to proceed in an orderly manner.
