Machine Tool Impact on Tolerance

Machine tool capability is the foundation of achievable tolerance. HYR-CNC VMCs deliver consistent accuracy across production runs.

Machine	Typical Tolerance
VMC850	+/-0.01 mm
VMC1060	+/-0.01 mm
VMC1165	+/-0.008 mm
VMC1270	+/-0.008 mm

Tolerance capability depends on machine rigidity, spindle performance, guideway design and thermal stability. HYR-CNC machines undergo laser calibration before delivery to support ISO 230-2 oriented accuracy control.

VMC850 - Compact mold and precision parts machining VMC1060 - General-purpose mold manufacturing VMC1165 - Automotive and medical mold machining VMC1270 - Large mold and heavy cutting applications VMC1580 - High-rigidity machining for large workpieces

FAQ

Common questions about electronics CNC machining.

Which HYR-CNC machine is recommended for tight tolerance machining?

Machine selection depends on part size, material, tolerance, surface finish and production volume. VMC850 and VMC1060 suit compact and general machining, while VMC1165, VMC1270 and VMC1580 are better for high precision, large molds and heavy cutting.

How can buyers confirm the right CNC machine configuration?

Buyers should provide drawings, material, tolerance, surface finish, annual quantity and fixture requirements. HYR-CNC can then recommend travel size, spindle, controller, tool magazine and inspection options.
