Machining Capabilities
Multi-spindle Precision Turning
This process uses cam-automatic technology and is best suited for
components requiring high-volume production with close
tolerances. Suitable for parts with OD tolerances down to 15
microns, ID tolerances down to 12 microns and flatness
requirements to 10 microns. Equipment capability in place for
diameters up to 25 mm and lengths up to 80 mm.
Equipment List
Single-spindle Swiss-type Precision Turning
This process is appropriate for parts with long
length-to-diameter ratios (3:1 to 25:1). Uses both cam and CNC
technology. Cam machines up to 7 mm diameter. CNC machines up to
20 mm diameter. Capable of tolerances below 10 microns on
diameters.
Equipment List
CNC Multi-axis Turning
This process is best suited for components with complex ID and OD
features -- particularly parts with several critical features
related to each other. Bar capacities up to 50 mm diameter.
Tolerances typically 15-25 microns, but capable of tolerances of
5 microns in some applications.
Equipment List
Ultra-precision Turning
This process is excellent for finish machining on parts with
size, flatness, and roundness requirements below 5 microns.
Capable of tolerances of 1 micron in some applications. Also,
submicron surface finishes in some materials.
Equipment List
CNC Multi-axis Milling
This process is used for repetitively-manufactured prismatic
components requiring multi-plane machining. Parts range in size
from 12 to 300 mm with feature tolerances down to 13 microns.
Equipment List
CNC Infeed Centerless Grinding
This process is best suited for high-volume components with
complex OD features and difficult-to-machine materials. Equipment
capability in place for lengths up to 150 mm and diameters up to
50 mm. Capable of tolerances of 15 microns on diameters and
lengths, and roundness below 3 microns.
Equipment List
CNC Throughfeed Centerless Grinding
This process is typically used to achieve fine finish and close
OD tolerances with an appropriate length-to-diameter ratio.
Capable of holding OD size to less than 5 microns, roundness
below 2 microns, and very fine surface finishes.
Equipment List
Secondary Precision Machining
These processes are best suited for high-volume applications
requiring complex hole configurations or unique OD and ID
configurations. Machining can include drilling, milling,
broaching, surface grinding, coining, hard turning, honing,
burnishing, gun drilling, and ballizing.
Equipment List
Multi-discipline Manufacturing
This comprehensive approach allows Autocam to improve customers'
supply chain costs by combining manufacturing, assembly, testing,
packaging, and logistics.
Equipment List
Finishing and Special Material Capabilities
These secondary processes include deburring, surface finish
cosmetics, extrude honing, marking, and ultrasonic cleaning. In
addition to conventional materials, Autocam has the capability to
machine ultrasonic and implant-grade titanium, specialty
medical-grade stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, and other
specialty alloys.
