CNC as a Management Control


Before go through into greater detail of some areas that the CNC Machine imposes an influence, it is interesting to know that a CNC Machine is not a machine control, yet it can be used in management control. CNC is primarily an automatic machine. However, its capacity to enhance the production process also greatly increases the potential control that management has over the manufacture process. Management is concerned with planning, organizing and efficient usage of all factors and resources that are available. 

CNC and Design


When a component has to be manufactured, it first has to be designed. The adoption of CNC will immediately impose a certain influence on the design process. Detailed working drawings will be produced in accordance with accepted CNC conventions. The design process also will be influenced by the application of computers which is used to convert all designs created into data. Once the design is converted the data can be transmitted directly to the memory of the CNC machine tool ready for manufacturing.

CNC and Quality Control


Since the process is now automatic, better quality in terms of dimensional and geometrical accuracy is reached. Because of the uniformity of the products, the processes of fitting and assembly can possibly be streamlined. The decision to invest in CNC machine tool must not be taken on the basis of technology alone. It is important understand that if the management fails to acknowledge these additional benefits then the CNC installation will be less effective. The level of the benefits is dependent of the user. It is minimal when the CNC is used as a machine control and reach the maximum when the CNC is adopted as a management control.

ALNO Guidelines to Injection moulding (Part 2)


Wall thickness
The wall thickness of injection-moulded parts needs to be observed properly to avoid potential problems such as leaving sink marks and letting your part warp.  At ALNO we recommend different thicknesses depending on the material you are using and the eventual use of your final product. 
Surface finish
The finishes available to you at ALNO product services vary according to you intended use and can range from all ranges of cosmetic finishes, EDM or higher-end finishes.
Radii
ALNO uses an automated CNC milling process to create the mould for your parts.  However, some part edges will end up with a radius rather than a sharp corner or edge. This does not typically involve the need to change a model, but the designer should be aware of these before moulds are made. 


ALNO product services manufactures all your parts locally in our workshop on the New South Wales Central Coast.  We provide innovative solutions and high-speed solutions so contact us today for a quote.

CNC Machining - 1st Class Quality

The team at ALNO Product Services offer CNC Machining with 1st Class Quality

CNC machines are pivotal for mass-producing exact components or products within a limited space of time.

Computerised machines that utilise numeric control to send precise commands to machinery that, in turn, crafts identical products constantly.

Machining CNC ALNO


CNC machines are quickly becoming the step forward for a wide range of manufacturers looking to create high-quality products in a short space of time.

At ALNO Product Services, we combine top-of-the-range CNC machines with our helpful, qualified experts to deliver a service which promises the best results in the shortest time possible.

Offering CNC machining to clients in Sydney and the Central Coast, our team are able to deliver quality products for a wide range of firms operating across our state.

Whether industrial or commercial, we can deliver a significant amount of products within a short space of time.

ALNO CNC Machining


Due to the nature of CNC machines, these products aren't under the risk of human error as other mass-manufactured products would be: Instead, the machines, thanks to precise calculations, can create a vast range of products and components in a range of materials within a short space of time, and without the risk of human error creating a faulty product or batch that could ultimately prove costly.

As the machines are highly accurate, it also means that less material is wasted during the crafting time, which means great savings for our customers.

With 20+ years experience of CNC machining, delivering consistent products quickly, we are the firm to turn to when you need products in a short lead time frame.

Whether you're looking for a large batch to deliver, or a one-off prototype as a test, we will gladly acquiesce to any request given to us, and are always happy to help our clients from the design process through to the creation of their product.

ALNO Guidelines to Injection moulding (Part 1)

Injection molding


Injection molding, a very simple way to mass produce plastic parts but can also be a very tedious and time-consuming task. When you want a new plastic part through injection molding, ALNO product services provides a comprehensive injection molding solution. Before we make your mold however there are a few guidelines we ask you follow to ensure a high quality mold that can last you the entire life that you want to sell your plastic injection molded product.

Mold Size



Please communicate how large you want your part to be early into the manufacturing process. Our machines provide a large range of solutions but there are some limitations to the size of the mold that we can produce. Depth of the part, degrees for draft (angle) are also important considerations. You must also take note that deeper parts may be limited to a smaller outline.

Drafting the mold



The draft is a taper that needs to be applied to the faces of the part to stop it from being parallel to the motion of the opening of the mold. This keeps the part from being damaged due to scraping as the part is ejected out of the mold. Some draft recommendations are as follows:



  • 0.5 degrees on all vertical faces is strongly recommended
  • 2 degrees works well as a standard solution and in most circumstances
  • 3 degrees is an industry minimum for when metal slides on metal
  • 3 degrees is the recommended requirement for a light texture
  • 5 or more degrees is the recommended requirement for a heavy texture


Tolerances for your injection molding part

For all of your injection molding needs at ALNO Product Services we can maintain high machining tolerances with an included resin tolerance, contact us or visit our website for more details.
