High-end machining of complex components
At Tumag, we transform complex technical challenges into tangible results. With a state-of-the-art machine park and a deeply rooted focus on craftsmanship, we are the specialist in machining components where every micron counts. Whether it involves complex moulds, durable cutting tools or high-quality components for precision mechanics, we deliver the stability and accuracy your project demands.
Turning and milling, precision milling and deep-hole drilling under one roof
Machining is one of the most defining operations within the manufacturing industry and forms the core of our process at Tumag. To ensure high-precision production, we offer a wide range of specialised machining techniques. Many precision components require turning and milling. Because we carry out both turning and milling in-house, such a component moves through one continuous process from lathe to milling machine, without external subcontracting. When turning and milling need to be performed in a single setup, this is known as turn-milling.
Using advanced 3-, 4- and 5-axis machines, we mill complex geometries from a wide range of high-quality materials. For parts where every micron counts, our CNC machines provide the necessary stability and repeatability. Our experts program the most challenging toolpaths to bring even the smallest details of your design to life.
Whether it concerns unique one-off parts or medium-sized series, with CNC turning we guarantee perfect cylindrical components with tight tolerances. We combine a high-quality surface finish with consistent dimensional accuracy for a flawless finish of your turned parts. With driven tools, we can often combine turning and milling operations in a single setup.
For hard materials and ultra-smooth surfaces, we use High Speed Machining (HSM) as the standard for high-quality machining. This technique minimises the need for post-processing. HSM technology is the ideal choice for producing high-end moulds where low roughness and sharp contours are essential.
When extreme depth and precision are required, deep hole drilling offers the solution for your most challenging components. We drill deep, accurate holes without compromising on straightness and dimensional accuracy. Thanks to our specialised equipment and years of experience, we achieve holes that are simply unattainable with standard drilling techniques.
Process control from engineering to quality control
At Tumag, machining is not a standalone operation, but a carefully controlled process. We look beyond the drawing alone.
Smart preparation and engineering
Every project starts in our engineering department. We analyse critical tolerances, material behaviour and the most efficient machining strategy. This prevents stress in the material and guarantees a reproducible result.
Uncompromising quality control
Our quality control is embedded in every step of the process. With advanced measuring equipment and strict protocols, we ensure full traceability and flawless delivery to sectors such as healthcare, high-tech and aerospace.
Tumag, your partner for precision machining
For us, machining goes far beyond the operation itself. It is an integrated process in which material knowledge, tool selection and thermal management are seamlessly aligned.
When you choose Tumag, you choose:
- Thoughtful preparation: Every project starts with solid engineering. We analyse material behaviour in advance, determine the optimal setup and prevent stress or deformation.
- Long-term stability: Our specialists combine technical theory with a highly developed eye for detail. We guarantee not only immediate dimensional accuracy, but also long-term stability.
- Absolute certainty: Without control, there is no quality. That is why strict quality control is an integral part of our machining process. From the first cut to the final measurement, we provide measurement reports and full traceability.
- Reliable lead times: Because we have all techniques in-house (such as drilling, boring, turning and milling), we maintain full control over the planning.
Frequently asked questions about our machining services (FAQ)
Which materials can Tumag machine?
We specialise in machining a wide range of materials. This ranges from standard aluminium and stainless steel to highly alloyed tool steels, titanium and engineering plastics. Thanks to our experience in mould making, we are particularly skilled in machining hardened materials with extremely tight tolerances.
What technical specifications and tolerances can I expect for the machining of my parts?
Because every high-tech project places unique demands on geometry and material, we use a differentiated approach. We select the technique that guarantees the highest precision for your specific application. Below is an overview of our strategic machining capabilities:
-
CNC Turning: the standard for cylindrical components where we guarantee extremely tight tolerances of up to 0,005 mm.
-
CNC Milling: for complex 3D geometries, we use advanced 3-, 4- and 5-axis machining, allowing us to produce even the most challenging shapes from a single piece of material.
-
HSM Milling (High Speed Machining): specially for hardened materials. With spindle speeds up to 42.000 RPM, we achieve an ultra-smooth finish that often makes manual post-processing unnecessary.
-
Deep hole drilling: for deep, perfectly straight holes where we achieve impressive L/D ratios of up to 100x the diameter without deviations in straightness.
What is the difference between turning and milling, and turn-milling?
Turning and milling refers to turning and milling as two separate operations performed together on a single component, usually on separate machines. Turn-milling is a specific technique in which turning and milling are carried out in one setup on the same machine, eliminating repositioning errors. Tumag provides both, depending on the geometry and required tolerances.
Is Tumag certified for quality management?
Yes, quality is deeply embedded in our organisation. Tumag works according to strict protocols and we are ISO 9001 certified. This guarantees that our machining and precision mechanics processes are continuously monitored and improved, so you can always rely on a dependable and traceable end result.
Does Tumag also perform other forms of machining, such as grinding?
Certainly. Although people often think first of milling or turning, grinding is an essential part of our machining work. We use precision grinding for parts that require extreme flatness or a very low surface roughness. In addition, we are experts in EDM machining, allowing us to create extremely complex shapes and sharp corners even in the hardest materials that would be impossible with traditional techniques.
Can Tumag also support design (Design for Manufacturing)?
Absolutely. Our engineering department is happy to support you at an early stage. By integrating our knowledge of various machining techniques already during the design phase, we can often propose optimizations that improve manufacturability, shorten lead times, and reduce costs.
How does Tumag ensure the accuracy of complex components?
We combine a climate-controlled production environment with thorough quality control. Using advanced 3D measuring machines and optical measuring instruments, we verify that every operation remains within the specified micron tolerances. Each delivery can be provided with the necessary measurement reports.
