2)Price composition:

Cost ItemDescription
Material CostCalculated based on the market price of Aluminum 6061 and part dimensions
Surface TreatmentNatural anodizing cost calculated according to part surface area and process requirements
NC Machining CostCore cost covering CNC machining, milling, grinding, and labor for all processing steps
Milling CostLabor and machine cost for general milling operations
Manual Work CostFixture setup, handling, and manual operations
PackagingPart protection, packaging materials, and handling
TotalTotal cost per piece (excluding tax)

By breaking down the quote structure in detail, customers can clearly understand the cost contribution of each processing step, allowing them to make reasonable production decisions. Furthermore, as production batches increase, the cost per piece decreases significantly, as NC machining and labor costs are spread across more parts, making the overall unit price more cost-effective.

3. Machining Process

StepOperationDescription & Requirements
1Material CuttingCut raw material to size 280×100×25mm (5 pieces)
2CNC Rough MachiningMachine outer profile, U-slot, holes, and pre-precision holes (0.6mm allowance)
3CNC Backside MachiningLeave 0.2mm thickness, perform one unclamped surface finishing, and precisely mill steps
4CNC FinishingFinish front surface to target thickness, machine D10 precision holes (tolerance 0–0.02mm), ensure hole centers are coaxial
5General MillingMachine side threaded holes
6Thread TappingComplete internal thread machining
7DeburringRemove burrs generated during machining
8Surface TreatmentNatural anodizing to enhance corrosion resistance and appearance

4. Machining Challenges and Solutions

Precision Hole Control: Ø10 holes require a tolerance of 0 to +0.02mm. Multiple finishing passes and measurements are performed to ensure hole coaxiality.

Clamping Stability: For repeated backside machining, an optimized fixturing solution is used to prevent positional deviation.

Batch Consistency: Process optimization and tooling ensure consistent quality across pieces production batches.
