Precision and finishing define product quality, and product performance isn’t just determined by how it’s made, but also by what happens after it is made. Secondary machining plays an important role in manufacturing and has a major impact on product quality. MultiSource Manufacturing is a precision machining expert, ensuring flawless secondary machining processes for superior part performance and finish.
Why Secondary Machining is the Key to Product Quality
There are various popular secondary machining operations, including grinding, honing, lapping, deburring, heat treatment, assembly, and more. All of these processes have the goal of refining dimensions or enhancing surface finish and precision, and offer multiple advantages.
With secondary processes, you can expect added precision and tighter tolerances, which impact fit, function, and part lifespan. These processes enhance surface finish and aesthetic appeal, which affect appearance, functionality, and performance. Precision finishing reduces stress and fatigue failures, leading to greater part durability and longevity. Post-machining operations also help components meet important compliance and quality standards, improving performance.
Common challenges of poor quality secondary machining include dimensional inaccuracies and parts that don’t meet tolerances, which can cause assembly issues. In addition, you can expect poor surface finishes, leading to friction, corrosion, or wear problems. Inconsistent product quality can lead to increased scrap or rework, causing unnecessary costs and delays, and damaging both brand reputation and consumer trust.
