CNC (computer numerical control) is the automated control of machining tools by a computer. Common CNC tools used for precision machining include drills, lathes, mills, grinders, routers, and 3D printers. A CNC machine follows coded programmed instructions to process a piece of material. Precision CNC machining processes a variety of materials including metal, plastic, wood, ceramic, or composite.
Owens Industries provides high-quality, ultra precision, CNC machined components for all industries. When the aerospace or medical industries need complex components with no room for the slightest errors we offer parts that meet the highest degree of accuracy. We only work with durable materials like aluminum, bronze, steel and titanium that will fit into existing systems.

CNC precision machining is the process of cutting various materials to exact specifications. In precision CNC machining, the machine operator uses CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) software. The software produces a file read by the CNC machine that defines physical boundaries and translates those dimensions into manufacturing commands. Those manufacturing commands tell the machine how to shape, form, and create a component or part out of a block of material.
The process produces components with tight tolerances that can't be completed through other CNC machining processes. Taking a larger piece of material, typically metal, a precision CNC machine gradually removes excess material and shapes the part to the specified dimensions. This process can be used to create parts of varying shapes and sizes to meet requirements for any existing systems in any industry. Owens Industries can produce components and parts at micro tolerances.
Precision machining provides many benefits and advantages that other CNC machining processes can't achieve. High precision machining can reduce the cost of production, increase the speed of production, and allows for rapid and cost-effective prototyping. Most CNC machinery can be running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Owen's Industries precision machining equipment is fully operated by computer programs. This reduces the need for human interaction and allows programs to be reused to create multiple high-precision parts that are exactly the same. The advantage of this is eliminating the potential for human error during machining. The greatest benefit of high-precision CNC machining is that the machines can deliver greater accuracy without any flaws because the software and code governs the process end-to-end.
Precision CNC machining can also be performed at high speeds allowing for a quicker turnaround when producing multiple parts that human-operated machines cant compete with or duplicate. These benefits also reduce production costs. With less need for human interaction, minimal errors and reduced material waste, precision machining can save manufacturers and customers money.
Owens Industries works with and serves multiple industries to provide high-precision CNC parts and components. In many industries, precision can be the difference between success and failure or even life or death. Companies in these sectors require and demand parts with the highest accuracy possible. Sometimes the demands require micro tolerances. We serve a variety of industries including aircrafts, military satellites, aerospace, medical, optical, tool and die, pharmaceutical, food manufacturing, oil and gas, and more.
There are different types of of precision CNC machining equipment. Each machine can cut various shapes and designs with a large range of materials. The machinery can include milling, drilling, laser cutting, EDM cutting, lathes, and more. Sometimes a part may only require one machine and sometimes the part may need to be produced using more than one piece of equipment.
Deciding which machine to use will depend on the type of material and the tolerances required for the parts or components. Many of our machines have advanced capabilities such as rotating carousels that can carry up to 30 tools that are automatically swapped out during the milling and machining processes.
Not every CNC shop has the same equipment or expertise. When choosing a CNC shop to produce the items you need it you should examine what machinery and equipment they have experience with. Owen's Industries has experienced machinists that have produced some of the most intricate and complex parts imaginable because we have some of the most advanced machines and equipment in the industry.
