CNC & Swiss Machined Parts - Process Examples
Bel Air develops cost effective processes for finishing Swiss Machined and CNC machined parts of varying sizes and all materials across a wide range of industries. Bel Air uses these processes in conjunction with media and/or process compounds to create high quality finishes on all machined parts
Deburr Brass & Bronze Pin Connectors
Objective | Deburr Fine Cross Slots
|
|---|---|
Part Description | Electronic Connectors
|

CNC Machined Part - Centrifugal Disk Deburring
Objective | Remove Burrs & Sharp Edges |
|---|---|
Part Description | CNC Machined Part |
Material | 1-4 PH (Stainless Steel) |
Process Type | Disk Finisher Machine |
This part was created at a multi axis CNC machining center. The manufacturer was removing burrs & sharp edges by hand originally. Hand finishing large amounts of parts is a time consuming and not very cost effective process. Bel Air was able to reduce the cost of labor associated with hand finishing by providing a more consistent higher quality finish using a centrifugal disk finisher.
