Precision & low tolerances

Result: CNC-milling with low tolerances

K6 tolerance standards and concentricity within 0.03 parameters call for a precise production method. CNC milling made it possible to meet these required measurements.

Moreover, the part is made of aluminium, making it lightweight and suitable for the satellite.

The high precision and minimal deviation guarantee stable performance in the harsh conditions of space, while the lightweight construction contributes to the efficiency of the satellite.

CNC milling – what is it?

CNC milling is an advanced manufacturing technique that involves computer-controlled machining and a multi-point cutting tool. This method takes a CAD model as a starting point. A material block is then positioned on a machine bed, and the desired product is cut out.
