Our CNC Machining Capabilities

We specialize in:

  • Shields that need the addition of a form-in-place gasket, microwave absorbers, and/or where thermal materials are required
  • 6061 Aluminum machining (however we are capable of machining any kind of metal)
  • Fast assembly or short turn around time requirements
  • We have the capability to handle anything from simple to complex parts

Horizontal Machining Centers

Ideal for large, heavy parts requiring machining on multiple sides, such as engine blocks, transmission cases, and complex prismatic components where gravity-assisted chip evacuation improves surface quality.

Vertical Machining Centers

Best for flatter workpieces requiring operations primarily on one face, like plates, brackets, molds, and dies, where vertical tool access provides excellent visibility and simpler fixture setup.

5-Axis CNC Machines

Perfect for complex parts with intricate contours and geometries requiring tool access from multiple angles in a single setup, such as turbine blades, aerospace components, medical implants, and parts with compound curves.

Vertical Integration

Turnkey RF Sub-Assemblies: More than CNC Machining

Often when manufacturing a product that requires the machining of metal housing, it pays to have a partner who can machine your housing, dispense FIP gaskets, and manufacture other components under one roof.

  • CNC Machining
  • Platings & Coatings
  • Form-in-Place Dispensing
  • Assembly of Absorbers or Thermal Materials

Frequently Asked Questions About CNC Machining

What materials can you machine?

By and large, the most common types of housing we see are designed from 6061 aluminum, but we are capable of working with a wide variety of other materials.

More information about 6061 aluminum: 

“6061 Aluminum plate is a precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy containing magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements. 6061 aluminum plate is one of the most versatile of the heat-treatable alloys. 6061 is popular for its medium to high strength requirements, good toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance.”

Can you provide design guidance for metal housing?

Sometimes, engineers and designers need machined parts cut and ready to go as fast as possible. Even at top speed, the goal is minimal cost for production  without sacrificing quality. At Modus Advanced, Inc., we understand those needs. Our goal is to produce world-class machined parts as quickly and affordably as possible every day. 

Engineers can help us further this goal while saving yourself some money and time in the process. All you have to do is implement these 13 design tips that can reduce your lead time and costs for machined parts.
