Aluminum CNC machining case studies
A searchable engineering portfolio of the aluminum parts we manufacture — enclosures, brackets, manifolds, fixtures, turned components, and finished parts. Filter by industry or part type to see the specifications, engineering challenges, machining routing, inspection, and finishing behind each project.
Filter our manufacturing experience
Every project below uses the same repeatable routing: engineering review, CNC milling or turning, in-process and final inspection, and surface finishing. Choose a category to narrow the portfolio, or open any project for the full specification.
A pocketed 6061-T6 instrument enclosure with connector cutouts, standoff bosses, and conductive grounding pads, machined and finished for a low-volume electronics build.
A sealed 6061-T6 control module enclosure with a machined O-ring gland, threaded service bosses, and a bead-blasted black anodize finish for vibration- and coolant-exposed environments.
A 7075-T6 structural arm bracket with lightweighting pockets, precise bearing bores, and hardcoat anodize, machined for stiffness-to-weight in a robotic joint.
A 6061-T6 pneumatic manifold with cross-drilled internal passages, standard ports, and flat valve-mounting faces, leak-tested and chem-film finished for machine air control.
A cleanable aluminum diagnostic enclosure with smooth radii, traceable material certificates, and a bead-blasted clear anodize finish, machined for benchtop lab and diagnostic equipment.
A MIC-6 cast-plate fixture with an H7 dowel and tapped-hole grid on a flat datum face, machined to stay flat after pocketing for repeatable workholding and inspection.
A 7075-T6 turned shaft with bearing seats, gauged threads, and cross-drilled mill-turn features, held to tight concentricity for a rotating motion assembly.
A 6061-T6 motor mount bracket with a toleranced bolt circle, pilot bore, and dowel location, machined and clear anodized for repeatable drive alignment on automation equipment.
A 6061-T6 gripper baseplate with an H7 dowel grid, sensor pockets, and hardcoat anodize, built as a repeatable, wear-resistant mounting base for high-cycle end-of-arm tooling.
An aluminum drill jig with hardened bushings and tight positional tolerances, hardcoat anodized and documented for repeatable aerospace hole patterns on the assembly line.
A 6061-T6 pump housing with concentric bearing bores and sealed internal passages, hardcoat and chem-film finished to survive vibration, wear, and coolant in industrial service.
An aluminum slide plate where Type III hardcoat anodize is the defining spec — a hard, wear-resistant running surface with masked precision fits and a bead-blasted cosmetic finish.
