Machining Capabilities

From Drawing Review to Precision Machining, Prototypes to Volume Production

LIFAN provides CNC milling, 3-axis and 4-axis machining, grinding, drilling and tapping, plus coordinated finishing. Typical lead time is 7–15 days, subject to material, geometry, volume, and quality requirements.

From Drawing Review to Precision Machining, Prototypes to Volume Production

Capability Overview

We support build-to-print work and sample-based evaluation. Orders can start from 1 piece and extend to pilot runs and 10,000+ piece production programs.

CNC Milling

For plates, housings, brackets, fixtures, cavities, and multi-hole components.

3-Axis / 4-Axis Machining

For multi-face features, angled holes, contours, and complex geometry.

Precision Grinding

For flat surfaces, mating faces, and improved surface-quality requirements.

Drilling / Tapping

Efficient production of hole patterns, threads, and repeat components.

Build-to-Print / Sample-Based Work

Evaluation of material, geometry, process, and inspection from drawings or samples.

Prototype to Volume Production

Single parts, pilot batches, and 10,000+ piece program evaluation.

Main Processes

Milling dimensions can be evaluated up to approximately 850 mm, with stable tolerances referenced at 0.01 mm. Final capability depends on material, geometry, workholding, dimension distribution, and inspection method.

CNC Milling

Model-850 CNC capacity supports milling dimensions evaluated up to approximately 850 mm for multi-face, cavity, hole-pattern, and fixture work.

3-Axis and 4-Axis Machining

Three-axis and four-axis process planning reduces accumulated error from repeated positioning on complex parts.

Precision Grinding

5 grinding machines support surface finish evaluated from Ra 0.2–0.8.

Drilling and Tapping

11 model-650 machines support efficient hole, thread, and batch-component production.

Surface Preparation and Cleaning

Sandblasting, brushing, ultrasonic cleaning, and laser marking are available alongside coordinated finishing.

Flexible Production

Single prototypes, pilot runs, and volume production begin with controlled drawing revisions and first-piece approval.

Production Modes and Public Parameters

Prototype and One-Off Machining

Orders can start from 1 piece for fit checks, assembly validation, replacement parts, and new-product trials.

Pilot and Small-Batch Production

Programs such as 50, 100, and 1,000 pieces are evaluated with drawing control, first-piece approval, and in-process consistency checks.

Volume Production

10,000+ piece programs can be evaluated using capacity planning, first-piece confirmation, in-process sampling, and final inspection.

Tolerance and Surface Finish

Stable tolerance can be referenced at 0.01 mm. CNC finish can be referenced at Ra 1.6, with grinding evaluated at Ra 0.2–0.8.

Capability Notes

Tolerance and roughness depend on material, geometry, and inspection conditions
Maximum size is an evaluation reference, not a guarantee in every axis
Finishing depends on process, color, coating thickness, and cosmetic standards
Lead time depends on material, volume, process sequence, and capacity
Customer names, drawings, dimensions, and proprietary structures remain confidential

A Drawing Enables a More Accurate Machining Assessment

Provide material, quantity, drawings, finishing, and target lead time. Engineering will review process, equipment fit, inspection points, and delivery planning.
