6061 Aluminum Machined Parts
Most of the time, Fedtech is known for their waterjet cutting services and laser cutting services. However, you'll find that these unique parts required neither!
The parts started out as 6061 aluminum bar stock that was turned in our CNC lathe. From here, the parts went to our secondary operations department where we put in the cross holes, flats and off-center hole on the CNC mill.
The process will be cut shorter in a week or two when we install our new multi-axis lathe with a twin spindle (mill turn center) which will allow us to make parts like this all in one shot which will in addition make for shorter lead times, and customers really seem to like those. The end product itself (an air actuator) is used for housing another part (piston) that we also produced in-house. They go together as an assembly to control the sand flow on waterjet machinery (right up our alley) and works to turn abrasive flow on and off.
