Large-Format CNC Machining Capabilities

Large CNC parts require rigorous control of material internal stress, rigid workholding, thermal expansion, tool reach, and dimensional inspection. TENGHUI develops tailored machining strategies based on part geometry, material grade, tolerances, and batch volume.

Wide-Format CNC Milling

Max: 3,000 × 2,000 × 100 mm
Commonly Machined Applications:
Large Tooling Plates Machine Baseplates Equipment Panels Mounting Plates Automation Components Large Fixtures Structural Plates Engineering Plastic Panels

Custom holes, pockets, slots, edge profiles, and mounting surfaces machined strictly to your drawings.

Long-Part CNC Machining

Max: 4,500 × 600 × 100 mm
Typical Long-Part Applications:
Long Mounting Plates Machine Rails Linear-Motion Supports Structural Beams Equipment Frames Aluminum Profiles Guide Components Automation Machine Parts

Optimized clamping setups and stress-relief strategies prevent deflection on extended linear features.

These are two separate machining ranges and should not be interpreted as a single 4,500 × 2,000 × 100 mm capacity.

Maximum workpiece size is also affected by clamping space, machining orientation, tool access, fixture design, and workpiece weight. Final capacity is confirmed after reviewing the complete drawings.

Key Challenges in Large Part CNC Machining

01

Material Stress & Part Deformation

Large plates, weldments, and heavily machined parts contain residual stress. Heavy cutting redistributes this internal stress, leading to potential warping.

TENGHUI Solution: Stage-wise rough machining, balanced symmetric material removal, intermediate CMM checks, or stress-relief heat treatment.
02

Stable Workholding & Rigidity

Oversized workpieces require rigid multi-point support. Excessive or uneven clamping force distorts the component during milling and causes spring-back error after release.

TENGHUI Solution: Custom support fixtures and torque-controlled clamping engineered per part geometry, stiffness, and primary datums.
03

Thermal Expansion Across Long Distances

Long machining cycles and ambient temperature swings affect large dimensions—especially critical across long-span flatness, straightness, and parallelism.

TENGHUI Solution: Temperature stabilization, optimized coolant distribution, and critical geometric datum verification on 2D drawings.
04

Multiple Setups & Datum Control

Oversized components often exceed standard single-setup envelopes, requiring part flipping or repositioning along extended linear axes.

TENGHUI Solution: Practical reference datums and precision locating fixtures to eliminate accumulated positional variations between setups.

Tolerances for Large CNC Machined Parts

±0.05 mm
General Machining Tolerance
±0.01 mm
Precision Tolerance (Selected Features Post-Review)
Achievable Tolerances Depend On:
Overall Part Dimensions & Span
Material Grade & Raw Condition
Plate or Wall Thickness
Feature Location & Accessibility
Workholding & Multi-Point Support
Number of Machining Setups
Thermal Expansion Dynamics
Residual Material Stress
Surface-Finishing Coating Thickness
Available Metrology & CMM Methods
Engineering Drawing Recommendation: A small localized feature can often be held to tighter tolerances than overall flatness or hole-to-hole positional true position across an entire 3,000 mm plate. For this reason, linear dimensional tolerances and geometric GD&T requirements should always be defined separately on your 2D technical drawings.

DFM Guidelines for Large CNC Parts

01

Define Practical Datums

Provide clear, accessible datum surfaces for machining setups and CMM inspection. Avoid referencing features that become unreachable after the primary setup.

02

Maintain Stable Wall Thickness

Oversized thin walls tend to chatter and warp during cutting. Maintain adequate structural wall thickness and avoid removing excessive material from only one side.

03

Use Larger Internal Radii

Generous internal corner radii allow the use of larger, more rigid end mills, reducing machining cycle times, tool deflection, and surface vibration.

04

Avoid Unnecessary Deep Pockets

Deep cavities require long-reach cutters and conservative feeds. Reduce pocket depth, enhance tool access, or increase corner radii wherever possible.

05

Specify Tight Tolerances Selectively

Apply tight limits only to features critical for mating, alignment, or function. Overly tight tolerances across an entire large component heavily inflate manufacturing costs.

06

Specify Geometric GD&T Clearly

When flatness, parallelism, perpendicularity, or true position are critical, define these GD&T symbols explicitly and separately on the 2D engineering drawing.

07

Consider Shipping & Modular Design

Oversized parts require reinforced crating and special freight logistics. Consider modular segmented designs to lower shipping costs when dividing does not compromise precision or function.

Large-Format FAQ

Our available large CNC milling ranges include up to 3,000 × 2,000 × 100 mm for wide components or 4,500 × 600 × 100 mm for long components.

These are separate machining ranges. Final capacity depends on the part geometry, material, machining orientation, fixture space, tool access, and required features.

Our confirmed long-part machining range is up to 4,500 mm. For longer components, we can evaluate whether sectional machining, controlled repositioning, or a modular design is practical.

Feasibility must be confirmed after reviewing the drawings.

Our general machining tolerance is typically ±0.05 mm. Tolerances down to ±0.01 mm may be possible for selected local features after engineering review.

Overall flatness, parallelism, and positional accuracy across a large component must be evaluated separately.

Yes. We machine large aluminum plates with custom holes, pockets, slots, profiles, and mounting surfaces. Common materials include aluminum 6061, 5052, 5083, and 7075.

Plate size, thickness, flatness, temper, residual stress, and surface finish must be reviewed before production.

Yes, subject to engineering review. Feasibility depends on the material grade, dimensions, geometry, machining time, workholding, and tolerance requirements.

Steel and stainless steel generally require different tooling and machining parameters from aluminum.

Large weldments can be evaluated individually. Important considerations include welding distortion, residual stress, machining allowance, datum surfaces, and whether stress-relief treatment is required.

Please provide the assembly drawing, material specifications, overall dimensions, and critical machining requirements.

Inspection methods depend on the component size and tolerances. We may use micrometers, height gauges, indicators, straightedges, custom gauges, optical equipment, or CMM inspection where the component fits the available measuring range.

The proposed inspection method is confirmed during engineering review.
