Machining Secondary Operations
CNC Machining Secondary Operations
At Camco Precision Machining, we go beyond just CNC machining to offer a full range of secondary operations designed to enhance the quality and functionality of your parts. Whether it’s finishing, coating, or assembly, we ensure your parts are ready for use in demanding applications across various industries.
Secondary operations are additional processes applied to a part after it has been initially machined. These operations improve the part’s surface finish, enhance its durability, or add specific features required for the final application. Examples of secondary operations include:
- Plating: CNC machining plating to improve corrosion resistance or aesthetic appeal, we offer plating services such as nickel, chrome, and zinc plating.
- Anodizing: For aluminum parts, anodizing adds an extra layer of protection while enhancing corrosion resistance and surface hardness.
- Heat Treatment: Processes like hardening, tempering, and annealing are used to modify the material properties of a part, making it stronger or more wear-resistant.
- Laser Engraving: Adding identification marks, logos, or part numbers using precise laser engraving.
- Deburring: Removing sharp edges or burrs from parts to ensure safety and improve the finish.
- Painting & Coating: Applying various coatings or paints to parts for added protection or to meet aesthetic requirements.
- Assembly: We also handle final assembly, integrating parts together with fasteners, screws, and other components to meet the specific needs of your project.
