Large vacuum equipment is a critical component in various industries, including aerospace, semiconductor, and medical. Such equipment requires precise and complex components that meet strict dimensional accuracy and tolerance requirements. In this project case, we were tasked with heavy machining components for large vacuum equipment that required a high level of precision and strict compliance with dimensional accuracy, shape, and position tolerance.
The component in question was a weldment with a dimension of 3 meters wide and 6 meters long, and it was part of a large vacuum equipment. Given the strict requirements of the customer, we embarked on the project with a clear understanding of the task at hand. The first step was to determine the most suitable machining process to achieve the required precision.
Our team of experts settled on CNC machining, which is a highly accurate and precise machining process that uses computer-controlled tools to remove material from a workpiece. We started by analyzing the customer's drawings to gain a better understanding of the part's geometry and the machining process requirements. We then created a 3D model of the component to visualize the machining process and simulate potential machining errors.
After creating the 3D model, we used CNC machines to machine the weldment, focusing on achieving the required dimensional accuracy and tolerances. The machining process was complex and required precise alignment of the weldment to ensure the correct positioning of the machining tools. Additionally, we used specialized cutting tools to achieve a smooth and precise finish on the component.
To ensure the component met the required tolerance levels, we used various measuring instruments, including Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) and laser scanners. These instruments helped us to verify the accuracy and precision of the machined component and ensure compliance with the customer's specifications.
