Check all our Frequently Asked Questions in CNC Turning
Frigate uses spindle-synchronized probing and tool wear compensation systems to maintain tight tolerance windows during high-RPM turning. Real-time data from machine sensors tracks dimensional shifts caused by thermal drift or cutting pressure. Components such as label applicator spindles and rotating feeder hubs undergo in-cycle gauging and post-process inspection using calibrated pin gauges and roundness testers. This ensures critical motion-transfer parts stay within ±10 micron concentricity, even during long-run production.
We reduce part deformation by combining custom fixturing, back support during turning, and optimized tool entry paths. For items like nozzle collars, guide rings, and film rollers, Frigate adjusts speed-to-feed ratios to control radial pressure without compromising chip flow. Tool holders with minimal overhang and nose radius selection also minimize vibration and bending force. This method allows us to maintain shape consistency across batches, especially for components with wall thickness under 2 mm.
Frigate applies controlled pecking cycles, edge-break tooling, and dual-direction passes to limit burr formation on packaging parts like spouts, sensor brackets, and chute adapters. During finishing, we deploy negative rake inserts or multi-radius cutters to refine edge transitions without secondary operations. For parts requiring sealed or sliding interfaces, we use high-magnification visual inspection and digital profilometers to verify edge break uniformity. These steps ensure clean assembly and prevent premature wear or alignment issues on the shop floor.
Each production lot is assigned a digital process sheet containing raw material certification, tooling usage logs, and operator traceability. Frigate links every turned item such as flow dividers, valve stems, and cap closures to its source billet using heat number mapping and barcode-based part IDs. In addition, all food-contact components follow ISO 22000-aligned documentation that tracks surface finish, coolant type, and contact-free handling steps. This structured approach supports both internal QA protocols and third-party audit readiness.
Frigate uses tool life prediction models and machine-level control loops to manage variation over extended production runs. In-process checks using laser micrometers and contact probes detect drift before it crosses defined tolerance bands. Lathe spindle temperatures and Z-axis drift data feed into real-time offset correction modules. For packaging components like actuator pins and rotary bushings, we also rotate insert edges based on tool wear logs, which keeps tolerance bands tight without frequent re-inspection.
