What Tolerances Can You Achieve for Electronic Parts?
Using our advanced 3/4/5-axis CNC machining centers, we can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.005mm for critical electronic components. The actual tolerance depends on the material, part geometry, and size. For connectors, housings, or high-precision electronic enclosures, we ensure stable repeatability through our 12-step quality control process, guaranteeing a high yield rate of 99.98%.
Which Materials Are Suitable for CNC Machining Electronic Parts?
We commonly use aluminum alloys (6061, 7075, etc.), stainless steel (303, 304, 316), copper and brass, as well as engineering plastics (POM, PC, ABS, PEEK, etc.). For parts requiring lightweight and conductivity, aluminum and copper are preferred; for durability and corrosion resistance, stainless steel is recommended; and for insulating components, engineering plastics are widely applied. We can also provide RoHS and REACH compliant material certifications upon request.
How Long Does It Take to Produce Custom Electronic Parts?
Rapid Prototyping: Simple CNC electronic parts can be produced in as fast as 24–48 hours.
Small Batches (1–100 pcs): Typical lead time is 5–7 days.
Medium Batches (101–1000 pcs): Usually 7–14 days.
Mass Production (1000+ pcs): Typically 2–4 weeks, depending on complexity and volume.
What is the Electronic Industry?
The electronic industry involves the design, development, and production of electronic devices and systems. This includes semiconductors, circuit boards, computers, smartphones, and other digital technologies. It’s a major part of modern life and powers everything from consumer gadgets to industrial automation.
What is an Example of the Electronics Industry?
An example is CNC machining for electronic enclosures. Precision CNC machines are used to produce custom aluminum or plastic housings for circuit boards, sensors, and control panels.
