Introduction

This turned parts machining project was carried out by IDEA for a multinational corporation specializing in industrial automation equipment. The customer requested the production of over 500 precision mechanical components in a short timeframe. These cylindrical parts are commonly used in sliding modules, clamping systems, and drive mechanisms that require high accuracy and 100% interchangeability.

In addition to the large volume, the project demanded tight geometric tolerances, fine surface finishes, and strict quality control throughout the production process.

Challenges

High-volume production: Over 500 parts had to be machined and delivered within just 2 weeks.
Strict uniformity: All components needed to be identical to ensure full interchangeability.
Tight tolerances: Required dimensional accuracy of ±0.01mm for diameters, concentricity, and parallelism.
Surface finish: Ra ≤ 1.6 with no scratches or need for post-machining processing.

Solutions & Execution

1. Optimized CNC Turning and Production Planning

The team implemented automated CNC turning programs and ran continuous shifts to balance speed and quality.
Cutting parameters, tooling, and feeding were optimized to reduce cycle time and minimize rework. turned parts machining

2. Continuous Measurement & Quality Control

100% of the parts were inspected for critical geometries using micrometers, dial gauges, and visual inspection under reflective lighting.
Every 20th part was checked using a CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) to verify tolerance consistency.

3. Automated Polishing and Corrosion Prevention

After turning, all components underwent mechanical polishing to ensure consistent brightness and smoothness.
Anti-rust oil was applied, and parts were grouped and packed in batches of 25–50 for delivery. turned parts machining

Conclusion

Successfully machined and delivered over 500 precision cylindrical turned parts, achieving 100% interchangeability with no critical defects.
Achieved an average deviation below 0.008mm—exceeding customer expectations.
Project was completed in just 12 days, thanks to IDEA’s ability to run three shifts daily.
The client was highly satisfied and has recommended IDEA as a long-term supplier for future batch-produced components. turned parts machining
