Custom CNC - Precision Machining
Baknor’s manufacturing expertise in heat sinks have helped many of our customers reduce their costs. This has also translated into reducing costs for their precision machined packages and discrete parts requirements. By constantly improving our technical expertise and investing in new capabilities, Baknor is globally competitive in both high volume-low mix demands and low volume-high mix supply.
CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) Machining is a means to remove material using high speed, precision machines that use a wide variety of cutting tools to create the final design. This manufacturing process uses a pre-programmed computer software to dictate the movement of the tools and machinery.
Common CNC machines include vertical milling machines, horizontal milling machines, and lathes. In today’s CNC equipment, the production of parts via pre-programmed software is mostly automated. The dimensions for a given part are set into place with computer-aided design (CAD) software and then converted into an actual finished product with computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software.
Machined enclosures can include sophisticated mounting posts for internal components, grooves for watertight seals, recesses, protrusions, logos and almost any feature that your design requires. We can produce small to medium to large parts, form simple to complex.
We machine any kind of enclosure for your electronics, creating a custom fit, precise placement and environmental protection that’s appropriate for your application, including the most rugged requirements. We can complete your designs based on your current schematics or can provide a turnkey design.
Complex cylindrical shapes can be manufactured more cost effectively using a CNC lathe versus a 3 or 5-axis CNC milling machine. With a CNC lathe, the part stock turns while the cutting tools remain stationary.
Conversely, on a CNC mill, the cutting tools move while the stock remains fixed. To create the geometry of a part, the CNC computer controls the rotational speed of the stock as well as the movement and feed rates of the stationary tools. If square features are needed on an otherwise round part, the round geometry is first created on the CNC lathe followed by the square features on a CNC mill.
Because the computer controls the machine movement, the X, Y, and Z-axes can all move simultaneously to create everything from simple straight lines to complex geometric shapes.
Our customer base ranges from a wide range of commercial electronic applications to microwave and communication industries. They range from small engineering firms to some of the world's largest companies.
