    What Is Zinc Machining?

    How Zinc Machining Works?

    Zinc machining involves shaping zinc or zinc alloy components using high-precision tools, typically through advanced CNC (コンピュータ数値制御) プロセス. Thanks to zinc’s excellent machinability, operations such as cutting, 掘削, フライス加工, 旋回, and tapping can be performed at high speeds with minimal tool wear. で TOPSプレシジョン, we utilize state-of-the-art CAD software to generate detailed part designs, which are then translated into precise tool paths—ensuring every cut meets strict dimensional and performance specifications.

    Our high-performance CNC lathes and mills are configured to machine zinc billets or die castings layer by layer, achieving tight tolerances and consistently smooth surface finishes. While zinc dissipates heat moderately during machining, we apply lubricants and coolants selectively to maintain optimal thermal conditions. To prevent burrs or deformation, we rely on high feed rates, razor-sharp carbide tools, and rigid fixturing. Post-machining, components undergo professional deburring, 研磨, and optional surface coatings—enhancing both durability and cosmetic appeal to meet the highest industry standards.
