Complete Machining Process

1. Rough Machining
   Select high-quality conductive base materials suitable for electrical connection scenarios. Remove most machining allowances via CNC milling and turning to define the basic shape, with reasonable reserved allowances for subsequent precision machining and no workpiece deformation or chipping.
2. Semi-Finishing
   Perform semi-precision finishing on mating surfaces, connection holes and conductive contact areas to initially calibrate geometric tolerances. Conduct stress relief treatment to eliminate internal stress caused by cutting and prevent workpiece deformation in subsequent processes.
3. Precision Machining
   Use high-end CNC machining centers and precision drilling machines for refined machining of all functional surfaces. Real-time dimensional inspection and parameter adjustment are implemented during processing to ensure the accuracy of all parts and the high finish of conductive contact surfaces.
4. Pre-Treatment Purification
   Conduct comprehensive purification including degreasing, derusting, pickling, water washing and drying to completely remove oil, iron filings, oxide layers and impurities. Ensure surface cleanliness to provide a solid adhesion base for the tin plating layer and avoid peeling, blistering or pinholes.
5. Tin Plating
   Adopt professional electroplating technology for surface tin plating with strict control over the uniformity of plating thickness. Ensure a dense, pinhole-free tin layer on conductive contact surfaces, followed by passivation and drying to enhance the bonding force between the tin layer and the base material.
6. Final Inspection
   Conduct full-dimensional and geometric accuracy testing via CMM and high-precision measuring tools. Inspect tin plating thickness, adhesion and surface quality, and perform contact resistance testing on conductive contact surfaces. Products are only delivered when all indicators meet the standards.

Key Machining Challenges & Solutions

Core Machining Challenges

1. Difficulty in precise coordinated machining of multiple parts with strict requirements for hole concentricity and surface perpendicularity/parallelism
2. High risk of deformation of conductive base materials caused by cutting force and heat, especially for thin-walled structures
3. Difficulty in thorough surface purification before tin plating, with blind spots in irregular structures and holes prone to residue
4. Balancing the uniformity of tin plating layer with the original precise dimensions of workpieces
5. Risk of secondary pollution, scratching and oxidation of conductive contact surfaces during the processing cycle

Targeted Solutions

1. High-Precision Equipment & Custom Fixtures
   Use imported high-precision CNC equipment with superior positioning accuracy. Adopt custom soft-jaw fixtures to protect workpiece surfaces from clamping scratches and ensure no displacement during processing.
2. Process Optimization for Deformation Control
   Implement multi-pass micro-cutting to reduce cutting force and heat; conduct low-temperature stress relief treatment after rough and semi-finishing; use special high-finish cutting tools for conductive contact surfaces to achieve one-time forming without tool marks.
3. Custom Pre-Treatment for Thorough Purification
   Design special cleaning fixtures for high-pressure spray cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning of blind spots; conduct multiple pure water washing after pickling and constant temperature hot air drying to ensure zero surface residue.
4. Refined Electroplating Control
   Adopt rack plating with custom jigs for uniform current distribution; pre-reserve plating allowances to ensure dimensional accuracy after tin plating; use local shielding protection for mating surfaces to avoid excessive plating affecting assembly.
5. Full-Process Surface Protection
   Wrap finished workpieces with anti-static and scratch-resistant protective films immediately; set up an exclusive processing area for electrical components to reduce dust and iron filings pollution; use special transfer fixtures to avoid collision and friction between processes.
6. Three-Level Quality Inspection System
   Implement process inspection + electroplating special inspection + final inspection; conduct real-time mechanical precision testing, surface cleanliness inspection before plating, and additional contact resistance and corrosion resistance testing for finished products to ensure both mechanical and electrical performance meet standards.
