Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Questions in CNC Turning

How does Frigate maintain bore-to-OD concentricity in turned compressor housings?

Frigate uses synchronized spindle alignment with in-cycle probing to monitor concentricity between internal bores and outer diameters. During rough and finish turning, real-time correction adjusts tool offsets based on thermal shifts and cutting pressure feedback. The team mounts dial indicators and laser measurement heads at critical inspection points to track deviation within micron levels. These checks ensure that each compressor housing maintains concentric profiles, minimizing unbalanced load and vibration during rotation. 

What measures help Frigate prevent distortion in thin-wall refrigeration components?

Frigate applies low-force clamping systems with programmable chuck pressure to reduce deformation risk in thin-walled tubes and fittings. Turning feeds and depths are tuned using chip load simulations to maintain part shape during high-speed cycles. In cases requiring deep boring, anti-vibration bars and custom support sleeves stabilize the workpiece. These methods prevent wall deflection, especially in copper, aluminum, and stainless parts used in evaporator coils and expansion valves. 

How are sealing surfaces on HVAC valve bodies machined to meet pressure specs?

Frigate finishes sealing faces using controlled-pass turning combined with CBN inserts to achieve consistent flatness and low Ra values. Each machined face undergoes profilometer scans and blue-check tests to detect flatness deviation or surface defects. Tool paths are programmed with exit vectors that avoid re-cutting or surface overlap. These workflows help achieve leak-proof sealing for HVAC valves exposed to pressure cycles and refrigerant expansion. 

What controls does Frigate use to maintain tolerance during long-cycle turning of cast housings?

To limit dimensional drift, Frigate uses thermal-compensated lathe beds and closed-loop feedback that tracks spindle growth and ambient heat. Tool offsets auto-adjust based on load changes, and part runs are paused at intervals for probe-based size validation. The system flags deviation early using predefined control limits, preventing taper or bowing. This approach supports consistent tolerances in long-cycle jobs like turning cast compressor shells and blower housings. 

How does Frigate manage traceability and material compliance for HVAC turned parts?

Frigate links each production lot to a digital job traveler that records material certs, program numbers, and tool data. All raw stock whether brass, stainless, or aluminum is sourced with mechanical test reports and verified heat numbers. These details flow into the part's inspection records and packing slips. Customers receive a full documentation package for QA validation, supporting traceability and standards compliance for HVAC system approvals.
