CNC Machining converts CAD/CAM data into precision metal and plastic parts using multi-axis milling, turning and mill‑turn cells. KPI delivers 3–5 axis contouring, live‑tool turning, bar‑feed automation and lights‑out production for prototype through low‑volume runs. In‑process probing and process control enable close tolerances across aluminium to super‑alloys for hydraulic, aerospace, automotive and industrial components.

CNC Machining is subtractive manufacturing performed on computer-numerically controlled machine tools. Toolpaths generated from CAM drive multi-axis milling, turning, and mill-turn equipment to remove material accurately and repeatably. The approach enables tight tolerances, stable process capability, and scalable automation for prototypes through production across metals and engineering plastics.

CNC Machining

CNC Milling removes material with rotating cutters under precise multi-axis computer control, producing complex prismatic or sculpted parts with positional accuracy to ±0.005 mm and surface finishes ≤ Ra 0.4 µm. Machines span 3-axis vertical mills, 4-axis horizontals with pallet changers, and full 5-axis trunnion or gantry platforms, supporting everything from rapid prototypes to lights-out production in metals, plastics, and composites.

CNC Milling

CNC Turning uses computer-controlled lathes to rotate bar, billet, or cast blanks while single-point cutting tools remove material. The process excels at producing concentric OD/ID features, tapers, threads, grooves, and complex contours with tight positional accuracy. Modern CNC lathes support live tooling, Y-axis interpolation, sub-spindle part transfer, and bar-feed automation—enabling complete, high-volume production of precision cylindrical components in metals or plastics.

CNC Turning

CNC Mill-Turn Machining combines multi-axis turning and milling in a single setup. Workpieces are clamped once and processed on opposed spindles with live tooling, Y-axis milling, and simultaneous interpolation up to 9 axes. This eliminates part re-clamping, improves concentricity between turned and milled features, and compresses overall cycle time for complex prismatic-plus-cylindrical components used in aerospace, medical, and high-mix/low-volume production.

CNC Mill-Turn Machining

3-Axis Vertical Machining uses a vertical-spindle CNC mill with linear X-, Y-, and Z-motions to produce prismatic parts, slots, pockets, drilled holes, and 2.5-D contours. Tool changers, rigid tapping, and on-board probing enable accurate, repeatable machining of small- to mid-sized components with positional accuracy to ±0.010 mm and surface finishes to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm.

3-Axis Vertical Machining

Inspection and quality control with ISO‑aligned metrology and documented deliverables. KPI uses calibrated hand gauges, in‑process probing and coordinate metrology (bridge/portable CMM scanning) combined with SPC capture, first‑article inspection and formal reports to support aerospace, automotive and industrial acceptance requirements. Calibration and traceable measurement records underpin production release and C of C documentation.

Inspection & Quality Control (IQC) comprises the metrology, verification, and documentation activities that ensure parts conform to drawing/CAD requirements, customer specifications, and regulatory standards. IQC spans incoming, in-process, and final inspection and leverages coordinate metrology (CMMs and portable arms), laser/structured-light scanning, optical comparators and vision systems, surface-form metrology (profilometers, roundness/contour testers), nondestructive testing (NDT), and statistical process control (SPC). Results are captured in traceable reports (e.g., AS9102 FAIR, PPAP) tied to calibrated gauges and controlled environmental conditions.

Inspection & Quality Control

3D Coordinate Measurement uses coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) or other 3D metrology tools to capture precise data points on a part’s surface, essential for verifying complex geometries and alignment.

3D Coordinate Measurement

Inspection Reporting documents measurement, tests, and observations, ensuring parts meet specified tolerances. Critical for traceability and compliance in regulated industries (aerospace, automotive, medical).

Secondary operations and value‑added services to deliver production‑ready parts and assemblies. KPI performs deburring, marking/laser engraving, light mechanical assembly and kitting, custom packaging and final cleaning so parts ship ready for installation. These in‑house finishing and handling steps reduce supplier touches, improve first‑pass acceptance, and streamline turnkey component deliveries.

Secondary operations & value-added services encompass in-line or post-process tasks—deburring, tapping, assembly, labeling, special cleaning or final customization—that manufacturers perform in-house but typically do not sell as stand-alone services. This catch-all pillar groups low-visibility steps so buyers understand a supplier’s complete in-house capabilities without cluttering the primary taxonomy.

Secondary Operations & Value-Added Services

Deburring is a critical post-processing operation that removes sharp edges and burrs from metal parts resulting from machining operations. It is essential for ensuring part functionality, safety during handling, and preparing surfaces for further finishing processes. Deburring can be performed using manual techniques, mechanical methods, or through thermal energy, and is applicable across a wide range of industries where smoothness of the part surface is required.

Deburring

Laser Engraving uses a laser beam to etch or mark a surface, widely used for serial numbers, logos, or intricate designs. Favored for speed, precision, and non-contact marking in both industrial and creative fields.

Laser Engraving

Assembly & Integration Services encompasses mechanical fastening, ultrasonic welding, heat staking, electronics and hardware integration, sub-assembly kitting, and packaging services to deliver complete assemblies or kits ready for immediate installation or shipment.
