Design and Programming
The process begins with designing the hinge using computer-aided design (CAD) software. Once the design is finalized, the specifications are translated into machine-readable instructions using CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software. These instructions dictate the movements of the CNC machines during the manufacturing process.
Material Selection
CNC hinges are typically crafted from durable materials such as steel, stainless steel, or brass. The selection of material depends on factors such as the desired strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal of the hinge.
Precision Machining
CNC machining centers equipped with specialized tooling are used to precisely cut, shape, and drill the hinge components from raw material stock. The CNC machines follow the programmed instructions to ensure accuracy and consistency in every detail of the hinge.
