MACHINING SERVICES
MACHINING SERVICES & CAPABILITIES
FGD production of complex tungsten components, molybdenum, or tantalum via EDM, water jet cutting, stamping, grinding, and CNC milling, drilling, and turning.
CONVENTIONAL MACHINING
Despite the difficulty, our extensive machining experience allows us to machine materials other companies cannot. Some of the conventional machining methods we employ include saw cutting, turning, boring, tapping, threading, multi-axis milling, and grinding.
LATHE TURNING AND DRILLING
FGD has 20 years of professional lathe masters for lathe products with tolerances up to ±0.1mm in diameter thickness and ±1mm in length and width.
EDM CUTTING
Tungsten is a very hard material, so conventional machining is often difficult or impossible. We utilise Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) to overcome this difficulty. EDM allows complex cuts to be made to tight tolerances and allows us to create holes that are smaller and deeper than tungsten.
GRINDING
As tungsten is difficult to conventionally machine, we often use grinding to manufacture parts with tight tolerances or fine surface finish requirements.
WINDING AND BENDING
Our current capabilities include the winding of evaporation filaments, electron beam, and ion beam filaments with both single and multistrand wire. Much of our computer-controlled equipment was built in-house to guarantee precision and repeatability. In addition to winding, we form wire into a variety of shapes using CNC benders, four-slides, and custom jigs and fixtures.
