In-Depth Look at Our Copper Manufacturing Capabilities

Copper Turned Parts

Copper Turned Parts are produced on sophisticated automatic lathes and CNC turning centers. This process is ideal for creating axially symmetric parts where material is removed from a rotating workpiece using stationary cutting tools. We specialize in high-volume production runs of precision Copper components like connectors, terminals, bushings, and sleeves. The process ensures excellent concentricity and surface finish straight off the machine. We utilize bar stock from internationally sourced Copper material grades such as C10100 (Oxygen-Free Electronic)C11000 (Electrolytic Tough Pitch), and the excellent free-machining alloy C36000 (Free-Cutting Brass). Standard tolerances held are within ISO 2768-mK, with even tighter tolerances achievable for critical dimensions.

Copper CNC Machined Parts

CNC Machining offers unparalleled flexibility for producing complex, non-rotationally symmetric Copper parts that cannot be made on a lathe. Our multi-axis CNC machining centers (3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis) allow us to machine intricate features, deep cavities, precise contours, and angled holes from a solid block of Copper. This is the go-to process for prototypes, low-volume batches, and highly complex components like waveguide components, heat sink bases, and custom actuator bodies. We machine a wide spectrum of materials including C10100C10200 (Oxygen-Free)C11000C14500 (Tellurium Copper) for improved machinability, and C17200 (Beryllium Copper) for high strength. We routinely work to tolerances as tight as ±0.01mm.

Copper Components (General)

The term Copper Components encompasses a vast range of finished parts utilized across every major industry. These components leverage the inherent benefits of Copper and its alloys: superior electrical conductivity, exceptional thermal conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, inherent anti-microbial properties, and good mechanical strength. Our role is to transform raw material into a final, functional part that meets a specific application’s needs, often involving a combination of processes like machining, milling, turning, and finishing.

Copper Milled Parts

Copper Milled Parts are a specific subset of CNC machined parts where the primary material removal operation is performed by a rotating multi-point cutter. Milling is optimal for creating flat surfaces, slots, grooves, gears, and profiled edges. The rigidity of our CNC milling machines ensures precision and repeatability even when working with the somewhat gummy nature of pure copper alloys. We produce intricate Copper electrical components like busbars, switchgear parts, and motor laminations through precision milling, often achieving surface finishes better than Ra 0.8 µm.

Copper Swiss Machined Parts

For ultra-high-precision, long, and slender Copper turned partsSwiss machining is the superior process. Our Swiss-type CNC lathes provide exceptional accuracy for parts with complex geometries and tight diameter tolerances over their entire length. The guide bushing provides immense support to the bar stock, minimizing deflection and allowing for intricate live tooling operations (milling, drilling, cross-holes) to be performed simultaneously with turning. This process is essential for producing medical device components, miniature connectors, and precision shafts from grades like C11000 and C36000, often holding diameters to tolerances of ±0.005mm.

Copper Electrical Components

Copper’s unmatched electrical conductivity makes it the material of choice for a myriad of electrical components. We manufacture critical parts that form the backbone of electrical systems worldwide. This includes heavy-duty busbars, electrical contacts, Copper terminals, Copper connectors, Copper switchgear components, Copper transformer spades, Copper studs for Transformers and rotor bars. For these applications, high-conductivity grades like C10100 (OFE)C10200 (OF), and C11000 (ETP) are preferred. Performance is often measured by conductivity (% IACS), and we guarantee material traceability to ensure electrical properties meet specified standards like ASTM B187.

Copper Parts (Comprehensive Overview)

Ultimately, every item we produce is a precision Copper part. Our comprehensive manufacturing ecosystem allows us to be a single-source solution for all your Copper needs. From the initial material selection—guiding you to choose between C10100C11000C14500C17200C36000, or European standards like Cu-ETP (CW004A) and Cu-OF (CW008A)—to final packaging, we manage the entire process. Our capabilities cover all standard Copper material grades and international specifications, ensuring global compliance and performance.
