CNC Machining for Sensor Equipment
Sensors turn a physical quantity into a signal, and that signal depends on the parts around it: a housing that moves, a sealing face that leaks or a bore that is not round will all show up as measurement error.
What the parts have to do
- Hold dimensions across the operating temperature range.
- Present flat, scratch-free sealing faces.
- Provide clean bores and threads for the sensing element.
- Resist the medium being measured — chemicals, gases or high temperature.
Typical parts we machine
Sensor housings and bodies, mounting and sealing plates, diaphragms seats, connector blocks and adapters.
Materials that fit the job
Stainless steel and titanium for corrosion and strength; Kovar where a glass or ceramic feedthrough must be sealed in; PEEK, PVDF and PTFE where chemical resistance or dielectric properties dominate.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Stainless and titanium are common for structural housings; Kovar for glass-sealed feedthroughs; PEEK, PVDF and PTFE where chemical or electrical requirements dominate.
Yes. Flatness and surface finish on sealing faces are verified on a Zeiss CMM for geometry and position, the TRIMOS V5 height gauge for heights and steps, and the AI-Vision system for fine features, and where specified, measured for roughness.
Yes — bores, threads and seats are machined and inspected as part of the same process.
