Aluminium is the most commonly used material for automation equipment and precision structural parts. With 148 CNC machines (all FANUC), we handle aluminium parts from prototype to batch CNC machining, with a standard tolerance of ±0.002mm.
Capabilities
A stocked aluminium inventory plus a complete inspection chain — the common risks in aluminium machining (warping, tolerance drift, batch-to-batch surface colour variation) all have corresponding controls.
Part type showcase
The following are common aluminium part examples; part types not listed can also be made as long as you have drawings.
Automation equipment enclosures, controller housings, mounting base plates — balancing appearance and assembly dimensions.
Milling of large aluminium parts and complex contour parts, balancing warp control and batch consistency.
Rail seats, mounting seats, connector blocks, transition plates — hole positions and geometric tolerances directly affect assembly.

Material
The following are our stocked aluminium grades; for grades not listed, please send drawings to confirm.
| Grade | Typical properties | Typical parts | Tolerance | surface finishing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6061-T6 | Medium strength, easy to machine, cost-effective | Structural parts, brackets, housings, bases | ±0.01 | Anodising, sand blasting, brushing |
| 6061-T651 | Stress-relieved, minimal machining distortion | Precision base plates, gantries, rail seats | ±0.002 | Anodising, hard anodising |
| 6082 | European standard grade, slightly stronger than 6061 | Mechanical structural parts, fixture bases | ±0.01 | Anodising, sand blasting |
| 7075-T6 | High strength and hardness, lower toughness | High-strength structural parts, fixture bodies | ±0.002 | Hard anodising, coloured anodising |
| 7075-T651 | High strength with low internal stress, first choice for precision parts | Precision fixtures, mould parts, aerospace parts | ±0.002 | Hard anodising, electroless nickel plating |
| 5052 | Good corrosion resistance, ductile, bends well | Panels, cover plates, liquid-cooling plate stock | ±0.01 | Anodising, brushing |
| 5083 | Seawater corrosion resistant, higher strength | Marine / equipment structural parts | ±0.01 | Anodising |
| 1060 | Commercial pure aluminium, conductive and thermally efficient, soft | Conductive parts, heat sinks, nameplates | ±0.02 | Anodising, polishing |
| ZL104 cast aluminium | Cast blank, finish machined afterwards | Housing, box and pump body blanks | ±0.02 | Sand blasting, passivation |
Tolerance in mm; values are the standard stably achievable range. Critical dimensions follow drawing tolerances. For grades not listed, please send drawings.
FAQ
No. Single-piece prototyping is fine; after prototype sign-off, move to small batch or batch production, with process and tool paths locked in after first-article sign-off.
Standard ±0.002mm is stably achievable; critical dimensions follow drawing tolerances, with CMM + 2.5D vision double inspection.
40+ grades in stock including 6061 / 7075 / 5052 / 5083 / 6082 / 2024 / 1060; cast aluminium billet finishing also available. For grades not listed, send drawings to confirm.
