CNC Machining for Electronics and Semiconductor Equipment

Test fixtures, heat sinks, vacuum-chamber components and precision plates where flatness and cleanliness matter more than appearance. Machined in Dongguan, measured on a CMM before the run continues.

The three we hear most

Problems buyers bring us in this sector

Electronics parts fail for reasons that are easy to miss on a drawing and expensive to discover at incoming inspection. These are the three we deal with most.

“The plate came back bowed”

Thin plate moves when the clamps release, whoever machines it. We rough, stress-relieve, then finish with light passes, and measure flatness on the CMM rather than by eye on a surface plate. Send the thickness and the flatness callout and we will tell you before you order whether it is realistic.

“Parts arrive with burrs in the hole intersections”

Every part is hand-deburred, and we ask you to mark which edges must stay sharp so the operator knows which is which. Cross-drilled intersections and thin webs are where burrs hide; deburring is in the price, not an extra.

“We need it clean enough to go straight into the tool”

Degreased, deburred and individually bagged as standard. We do not do certified cleanroom cleaning, so if your specification requires that step it stays on your side — better said now than after delivery.

Typical parts

What we machine for electronics customers

This is some of our most demanding work: thin plates that want to move, flatness called out over a large face, and parts that have to arrive clean.

Test and burn-in fixtures

Probe plates, locating nests and socket carriers with true position held between hundreds of holes.

Heat sinks

Pin-fin and skived-style heat sinks in 6061 and copper, with a flat, lapped mounting face.

Vacuum-chamber components

Flanges, feedthrough plates and spacers in 304/316L with sealing faces machined to the drawing.

Precision plates and shims

Ground and milled plates where flatness and parallelism are the whole specification.

Enclosures and chassis

Milled housings and sheet-metal chassis for instruments, EMI gaskets fitted if you supply them.

Handling and automation parts

End effectors, wafer-handling arms and mounting brackets in aluminium and engineering plastics.

Materials and finishes

What these parts are usually made from

Aluminium and copper where heat has to move, stainless where the part sees vacuum or cleaning, engineering plastics where it must not conduct.

Typical requirements

Flatness, true position and burrs

Three things decide whether an electronics part is accepted: flatness across the mounting face, true position across a hole pattern, and whether it arrives burr-free. We measure the first two on the CMM and deburr by hand before packing.

  • Flatness, typical0.02 mm over 100 mm
  • True position, hole patterns±0.01 mm achievable
  • Achievable, milled±0.002 mm
  • Surface finish, as-milledRa 1.6 µm
  • Unmarked dimensionsISO 2768-mK
  • CleanlinessDegreased, deburred, bagged
Questions

What buyers in this industry ask

Can you hold flatness on a thin plate?
Usually, but it depends on the ratio. A 200 mm plate at 5 mm thick will move when you release the clamps no matter who machines it. We stress-relieve between roughing and finishing, take light finishing passes and measure flatness on the CMM. Tell us the flatness callout and the plate thickness in the RFQ and we will say what is realistic before you order.
Do you machine parts for vacuum use?
Yes — flanges, spacers and feedthrough plates in 304 and 316L. We can machine to your surface-finish callout and avoid blind tapped holes where you ask for vented screws. We do not do UHV-grade cleaning or bake-out here, so if your specification requires certified cleanroom cleaning you will need to do that on your side.
How do you handle burrs on parts with hundreds of holes?
By hand, one part at a time, and it is in the price. Cross-drilled intersections and thin webs are where burrs hide; if a particular edge must be burr-free or must keep a sharp corner, mark it on the drawing so the operator knows which is which.
