Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Questions

How does Frigate maintain dimensional stability in CNC-machined firearm mounts under high-recoil conditions?

Frigate applies balanced toolpath strategies and constant feed rate control to reduce internal stress during CNC machining. Each mount undergoes pre-machining stress relief and post-machining stabilization to maintain shape under field recoil. Tolerance consistency is verified through CMM checks at stress-bearing points such as dovetail interfaces and locking profiles. This ensures that all mounts retain zero-movement alignment under repeated discharge. 

What techniques does Frigate use to achieve reliable wear resistance in machined firearm contact surfaces?

Frigate uses manganese phosphate and Cerakote coatings over hardened surfaces to reduce friction and prevent galling. Before coating, all parts are surface-prepped using media blasting and controlled roughening to support coating adhesion. High-contact zones like rails, bolt carriers, and mounting plates are profiled with repeatable geometry. This combination ensures stable wear patterns during cyclic use. 

How does Frigate ensure consistency in serialized firearm components across production batches?

Frigate uses CAM-linked feature referencing and fixed tooling offsets to eliminate drift across serialized runs. Every part shares a digital master reference to maintain feature alignment and thread positioning. In-process inspections log tool wear trends and batch-wise dimensional variation. This controls quality for serialized components such as trigger assemblies, scope mounts, and modular chassis plates.

What inspection systems does Frigate use for verifying tight tolerance in firearm barrel extensions?

Frigate uses contact and non-contact metrology systems to verify bore concentricity, thread class, and external diameter profiles. Laser profilometry and CMM scans ensure concentric alignment between locking lugs, threads, and barrel shoulders. Results are cross-checked with 3D model overlays to flag deviations beyond tolerance. This maintains engagement accuracy in critical locking areas. 

How does Frigate machine high-strength alloys like 17-4PH and 4140 for defense-grade parts?

Frigate uses high-feed carbide tooling and chip evacuation strategies to manage thermal loads while machining dense alloys. Coolant flow is optimized using high-pressure delivery through tool centers for better temperature control. Toolpaths are adjusted to minimize radial load and reduce burr formation at slot edges and undercuts. This enables reliable machining of firing control housings, optic rail bases, and safety-critical parts.
