Manufacturing thin-walled parts or long, slender components presents a unique set of challenges. Vibration, chatter, distortion, and tool deflection are just a few of the issues that can compromise accuracy and consistency—even for experienced machine shops.
At Minnexon, we specialize in high-precision CNC machining for components with difficult aspect ratios, thin sections, or high surface finish requirements. Whether it's a long shaft, a thin bracket, or a precision housing, we understand how to machine delicate geometries without sacrificing dimensional integrity.
Vibration & Chatter
Long parts or thin sections tend to resonate during cutting, which can damage the surface finish or cause dimensional deviations.
Tool Deflection
Extended reach tooling can deflect under load, leading to tapering, oversizing, or inconsistent wall thickness.
Thermal Distortion
Thin-walled parts absorb heat differently, and even minimal thermal expansion can affect tolerances or part stability.
Clamping Pressure
Excessive workholding force can deform the part during machining. Insufficient clamping leads to movement or vibration.
We combine years of practical experience with cutting-edge equipment to solve these issues and produce reliable, repeatable results.
