AXALLOY Precision
Vacuum Chamber Components: Precision CNC Machining from AXALLOY Precision
AXALLOY Precision delivers Vacuum Chamber Components that meet the demanding requirements of aerospace, semiconductor equipment, medical devices and precision industrial applications. We focus on your ability to achieve reliable vacuum performance, consistent repeatability and full traceability from the first prototype to repeat production.
What We Deliver for Your Vacuum Chamber Projects
- Thin-walled structures & complex internal passages:Minimum wall thickness of 0.5 mm and internal corner radii down to 0.3 mm while maintaining tight geometric control, supporting lightweight designs without compromising vacuum integrity or assembly fit.
- Critical interfaces & sealed surfaces:Multi-axis 4-axis and 5-axis milling combined with mill-turn operations create precise mating surfaces, flanges and O-ring grooves in a single setup, with positioning accuracy down to 0.005 mm and concentricity down to 0.008 mm.
- Deep cavities, narrow slots & blind features:Sinker EDM delivers surface finishes down to Ra 0.4 μm and minimum internal radii of 0.05 mm for cooling channels, mounting pockets and internal vacuum pathways.
- High-precision turning & threading:Swiss CNC turning handles diameters as small as Ø0.5 mm with thread sizes down to M0.8 and tolerances down to ±0.005 mm for small-to-medium vacuum fittings and sensor ports.
- Surface finishing & post-processing:Precision grinding reaches Ra 0.2 μm and EDM surfaces reach Ra 0.8 μm, with additional deburring, passivation and coating support that protects against corrosion in high-vacuum or aggressive environments.
- Engineering & process development:Our team reviews your drawings, provides DFM feedback and creates fixture plans before production starts, identifying manufacturable solutions that reduce scrap and support your target date.
- Full traceability & inspection:Every part includes material test reports, first article inspection reports, dimensional reports and special-process records for audits and export compliance.

How Our Process Helps You Meet Deadlines
We evaluate material behavior, geometry and tolerances before starting machining. This structured approach shortens lead times to 5–10 business days for prototypes and 10–20 business days for production runs. You gain predictable delivery that protects your project schedule and reduces inventory risk.
