Manufacturing capability
Large-Part Machining
Large-part machining is used to manufacture oversized or heavy industrial components that exceed the working envelope of conventional CNC equipment. It is commonly required for machine frames, structural plates, large housings, energy equipment, and precision components requiring controlled machining across extended dimensions.

Manufacturing overview
Large-part machining involves CNC milling, boring, turning, or related operations on components with substantial dimensions or mass.
Equipment may include gantry machining centers, floor-type boring mills, large horizontal machining centers, and heavy-duty turning systems.
Typical applications include machine bases, industrial frames, turbine housings, large flanges, structural components, and heavy equipment parts.
Suitable materials include carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and cast iron.
Manufacturing feasibility depends on machine travel, table capacity, workpiece weight, lifting arrangements, and available fixturing.
Thermal expansion, residual stress, workholding deformation, and measurement strategy can significantly influence final accuracy.
Large welded or cast structures may require stress relieving before final machining.
Buyers should provide overall dimensions, estimated weight, material grade, CAD models, drawings, tolerance requirements, and lifting or handling information.
Inspection may include portable coordinate measurement, laser tracking, large-scale dimensional verification, and material certification.
