Does CNC Gear Grinding 1100 Aluminum require dedicated tooling?
Most 1100 Aluminum gear cutting work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Gear Grinding on 1100 Aluminum?
Machined 1100 Aluminum edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
Why is 1100 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Gear Grinding?
1100 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Gear Grinding. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 1100 Aluminum gear cutting part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Gear Grinding 1100 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 1100 Aluminum gear cutting depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. We hold tight, repeatable tolerances appropriate to the feature and material. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What surface finish is achievable on 1100 Aluminum with CNC Gear Grinding?
Surface finish on 1100 Aluminum is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
What is CNC Gear Grinding 1100 Aluminum and how is it done?
CNC Gear Grinding 1100 Aluminum refers to gear grinding finishes hardened gear teeth to high accuracy class for quiet, durable transmission. Applied to 1100 Aluminum — lightweight with excellent machinability — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
