CNC Milling and Drilling Solutions for PEEK Automation Fixtures with As-Machined Surface Finish
CNC Machining of Automation Fixtures: High-Performance PEEK Solutions for Demanding Applications
Automation fixtures require dimensional stability, mechanical strength, and material reliability under repetitive cycles, heat, and chemical exposure. In high-performance automation systems—especially those involving electronics, cleanroom processes, or high-speed handling—PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) offers unmatched performance. Neway specializes in CNC milling and CNC drilling of PEEK fixtures for automation applications, delivering components with tight tolerances and stable geometry.
With a clean as-machined surface finish, our PEEK parts are ready for direct use in precision assemblies.
Why PEEK Is Ideal for Automation Fixture Components
Superior Mechanical and Thermal Performance
PEEK offers high tensile strength (~100 MPa), excellent dimensional stability, and a continuous use temperature up to 250°C. It performs reliably in high-speed, high-temperature, and chemically aggressive environments, common in automated semiconductor, medical, and optical production.
Inert and Cleanroom-Compatible
With exceptional chemical resistance and low outgassing, PEEK is well suited for clean automation lines and environments requiring FDA, ISO 14644, or RoHS compliance.
CNC Milling and Drilling Workflow for PEEK Fixtures
CNC Milling for Complex Fixture Geometry
We use optimized carbide tooling, coolant management, and adaptive toolpaths to machine:
Precision slots, pockets, and guides
Fixture bases, locating pins, and support frames
Surface flatness ≤ 0.02 mm for sensor or optical component interfaces
PEEK’s excellent machinability ensures smooth cutting and dimensional accuracy without cracking or delamination.
CNC Drilling for Assembly and Alignment Features
CNC drilling processes are carefully controlled to avoid heat buildup and ensure burr-free results:
Hole tolerance: ±0.02 mm
Clean edges for press-fit or insert-ready holes
Depth consistency for embedded fasteners or precision locating pins
Surface Finish: As-Machined for Functional Precision
An as-machined finish on PEEK provides a natural matte texture with functional surface integrity:
Ra: ~1.6–3.2 µm
No polishing, coating, or post-processing needed
Ideal for direct mechanical integration and handling systems
This finish avoids contamination, retains dimensional accuracy, and supports anti-friction performance in guide rails or sliding mechanisms.
Quality Control and Material Compliance
CMM and optical inspection for profile accuracy and flatness
Surface and hole finish inspection under magnification
Material traceability and batch certification for medical/cleanroom use
Documents: COC, RoHS, REACH, ISO 10993/FDA compliance available upon request
