The impact computer technology has had on machine tools has changed all areas of machining and manufacturing. Where initially only certain machines such as lathes and machining centers were equipped with computer control, today CNC technology has entered the world of highly flexible and highly productive equipment. In addition, new machine design concepts have made it possible to integrate different types of machining processes into one process on one machine.
In addition to CNC making machines economical for Low Volume parts, its increasing power has allowed the development of high production equipment with full CNC. In some cases, more than 50 axes or motors are needed for controlling high production multi-slide and multi-spindle machines. The advantages are flexibility and tool offsets, and there is no longer a need for specially built, dedicated equipment. Instead, standard off-the-shelf CNC machines are used for high volume applications.
New equipment also requires different skills. As a result of the programmability and precision of modern CNC machine tools, a shift has taken place that has moved the emphasis and skill focus away from the machine into the area of organization, preparation, planning and programming, CNC machining allows for accurate calibrating, cutting, and drilling of products. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) utilizes software that integrates with specific machines. As such, each programmed machine cannot be otherwise controlled with generic, or open source software. CNC prototyping is becoming more powerful and user-friendly.
Rapid Prototyping and Low Volume Production
Our customers often require two distinct production capabilities – Low volume manufacturing & prototyping. Our constant investment in the development of a mix of rapid manufacturing technologies provides our clients a single source solution to optimally handle differences in equipment, complexity and run quantity. Our innovative prototyping and low volume production capabilities, which increase net hourly output by as much as 70 percent, easily surpass the competition to deliver component parts with exceptional quality, efficiency and cost-competitiveness.
Machining and Assembly of Low to Medium Volume, Precision Component Parts and Assemblies
Despite the many challenges associated with low volume production, UYEE always ensures the fastest setups and best setup reduction improvements to provide our customers the absolute best pricing and lead times. Low volume inspection is typically slow, cumbersome and tedious. Our large, capable inspection department ensures production runs smoothly. There are no complicated routing and purchasing procedures. Just seamless Low-volume Production Services.
Quality Rapid Prototype Manufacturer and Rapid CNC Machining
As the market becomes more supportive of entrepreneurial efforts, more emerging small businesses will be more likely to reach a prototyping stage. Similarly, larger organizations will continue to push the envelope in the manufacturing of products. We pride ourselves in assisting both large and small businesses with not only the ability to produce a single prototype, but also engineering support service to help with the development of their designs. By aiding in the final design when required, we can help customers save weight, time, and money by optimizing product specifications. Our Prototype Manufacturing China team has the capability to turn our customer’s designs and drawings into parts regardless of their industry.
The Importance of Precision Machining
We also understand how these different materials respond to different machining processes. This combination of knowledge, expertise and real-world experience in working with these materials allows us to choose the best precision CNC machining option for the given part or component.
With this advantage, your design team can rely on our engineers to provide the relevant information on options and choices. This can cut considerable time off the design stage and also decrease the chances of a design or material flaw being found during the design testing phase.
Our focus on precision and tight tolerance manufacturing is an experience that will benefit your team. With our state-of-the-art equipment and our highly trained operators and technicians, we can produce the prototype and then move into full-scale production as and when you require.
We deal with low volume orders that other businesses might find too difficult or won’t touch. This is due to the speed and efficiency of our rapid prototyping process, which makes the production of small orders profitable without causing delay. This allows our clients to move from the testing and development stages to manufacturing and marketing in less time, often as little as only seven days to a couple of weeks, depending on quantities, from Prototype to Production.
Our low-volume manufacturing operation combines superior technology, integrated manufacturing and design processes, and unmatched talent to create low volume orders quickly, accurately, and which exceed your expectations.
