Looking back at the early pioneers of metal parts machining and fabrication, we can’t help but wonder how they’d react if they could see the tech-driven processes we use in metalworking today. We think they’d be impressed – and a little envious!

Precision machining is an example of a manufacturing technique that has revolutionized how we build things. This process pairs designers and engineers with the most advanced software and automation technologies

As precision machined parts and components for manufacturers become more complex in order to stay competitive, the tools and technology fabricators use must continue to evolve in tandem with their customers’ needs.

These CNC machines are supported by sophisticated integrated software that allows engineers, designers, and fabricators to collaborate easily on design with their customers on their projects and communicate instructions to the tools to ensure precise cuts every time.

Rising costs and tightening budgets are two main elements that drive project development decisions. A common concern among manufacturers is how to optimize their investment without sacrificing product quality or performance.

Read on for five smart and effective ways to manage costs on your next precision machining project.

As a leading precision machining supplier, Kenona Industries, part of our Arrow Automotive division, specializes in using high-tech tools and processes to create high-quality custom parts and components for our customers’ products.

We commonly use three tech-based processes to create our fabrication solutions: turning, milling, and grinding.

Manufacturing technology has evolved dramatically over the past several years, with two methodologies standing head and shoulders above the rest: precision machining and 3D printing. These two techniques have reached a level of prominence in the way our industry produces complex parts and components, yet they utilize different fabrication approaches.

Arrow Automotive explores the game-changing impact that robotic systems have had on the intricate world of precision machining, along with the benefits this new technology delivers to our ever-changing industry.

Precision machining plays a pivotal role in producing intricate components with high accuracy and tight tolerances. Its associated technology continues to evolve, driven by a constant quest for improved efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. 

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining is a technological cornerstone that has revolutionized how products are designed and produced. Integrating CNC machining into manufacturing processes has led to increased efficiency, precision, and versatility for virtually any commercial application.
