The forming of many communication products relies on computer numerical control (CNC) machining and milling to ensure optimum precision and consistency. Such as the metal crafting of smartphones. We have many successful cases in China and around the world. We can go beyond traditional services to create sophisticated parts for a 5G world.

What should be paid attention to in cnc processing of optical fiber communication precision parts?

The raw materials for processing optical communication products generally include Kovar alloy, silicon aluminum, oxygen-free copper, Jintong aluminum alloy and other materials. The processing difficulty of different materials is also different. For Kovar alloy, silicon aluminum and other materials, it is necessary to select the appropriate processing tool in a targeted manner. Otherwise, the tool wears too fast, the product quality cannot be guaranteed, and the processing cost cannot be controlled. The problems that often occur in the processing of optical communication components are generally processing steps and burrs.

Product accuracy can usually be guaranteed, but processing details need to be strictly controlled. If the equipment can deburr, it must be done on the equipment. If not, it must be clearly marked on the drawing and cleaned manually to prevent overcutting, and the knife marks left during processing must not have fingerprints and need to be polished and smoothed. Pay attention to the knife step during the root removal process, otherwise it will affect the assembly and use. When processing optical communication parts, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the tool life and carry out SpC control on important dimensions to prevent abnormalities in the cnc machining process, resulting in product repair or scrap.
