Today's precision products are not of an isolated nature. You need products of precision engineering standards involving high precision machining, in almost every sphere of the industry. The industrial applications include yarn extrusion machines, paper processing industry, the beverage canning and bottling industry, chemical manufacturing, military equipment, food processing as well as the automotive sector and the power generation industry.
There are now professionals in high precision machining that have progressively invested in the latest technologies and tools thereby gaining the experience and capability required for all the industries enumerated. Therefore, today when you turn to these professional agencies for precision products, you are assured of products that are technically superior as well as parts that have been fabricated in an innovative manner.
Essentially, the agencies that have specialized in high precision machining carry out reverse engineering in order to develop and produce the parts that are required by your industry. These parts are analyzed, improved upon and then manufactured to the highest grade of tolerance and the kind of high quality that's expected. In order to produce these precision products, use is made of modern facilities such as the CNC (Computer Numeric Control) turning and milling machines, laser technology and EDM burning. EDM or Electrical Discharge Machine is based on either the burning or melting of metal by using an electrical current. The precise removal of metal from the parts allows the production of precision products of a high degree of accuracy and fine tolerance.
Precision products are also required in respect of extrusion machines that are used in a number of industries such as the mining equipment, polyurethane machines and agricultural equipment and automotive products such as the wheel adaptor or the armor winder arbor. Some of these parts for extrusion machines could be the Barmag parts for the texturizer or the winder and Mackie parts such as the Godet nut wrench or the thrust coupling. Precision products are here to stay. Over time, the better accuracies and tolerances required would need improved manufacturing techniques. The standard of high precision machining will, therefore, need to improve to a higher level than that obtainable today.
