Frequently asked questions
What Tolerance Does XC Machining Hold for RF and Microwave Components?
Standard: ±0.01 mm on CNC milled aluminum antenna housings and base station enclosures. Precision: ±0.005 mm on RF filter cavity resonant dimensions, waveguide flange flatness, and coaxial connector bore diameters. Critical: ±0.002 mm available on fiber optic ferrule bores (concentricity ≤ 0.003 mm). Surface roughness on RF cavity internals: Ra 0.4–0.8 μm — measured by profilometer and verified before plating. CMM dimensional report issued per batch.
What Materials Does XC Machining Use for RF and Microwave Components?
Aluminum 6061-T6 (35 MS/m, most common RF housing material — lightweight, anodizable), copper C110 (59 MS/m, highest conductivity, high-power RF cavities and waveguide inner conductors), brass C360 (15 MS/m, free-machining, coaxial connectors), stainless steel 304 (corrosion resistant, fiber optic connector bodies), and PTFE (dielectric constant 2.1, lowest-loss solid dielectric, connector inserts). Silver plating (+63 MS/m) applied on internal RF surfaces.
Does XC Machining Offer Silver Plating for RF Filter Cavities?
Yes. XC Machining coordinates silver plating (1–20 μm thick, bulk conductivity 63 MS/m — higher than copper) on CNC machined aluminum and copper RF filter cavities, waveguide sections, diplexer bodies, and coaxial connector bodies. Silver plating minimizes skin-effect resistance at microwave frequencies, reducing insertion loss by 15–30% versus bare aluminum. Plating thickness: 1–3 μm is sufficient above 10 GHz; thicker specified for lower frequencies.
What Is the Lead Time for Communication CNC Parts from XC Machining?
Standard: 3–7 business days for simple aluminum antenna housings and base station enclosures. 5–10 business days for precision RF filter cavities and waveguide sections (includes DFM review, 5-axis machining, CMM inspection, and surface treatment). 2–5 additional days for silver or electroless nickel plating. DFM review and quote returned within 12 hours of STEP file upload from Dongguan, China.
Can XC Machining Machine Both Aluminum and Copper RF Components in the Same Order?
Yes. XC Machining machines aluminum 6061-T6, copper C110, and brass C360 communication components in the same order from Dongguan — different materials require different cutting speeds, tooling, and coolant strategies, all managed in-house. Multi-material orders for complete RF filter assemblies (aluminum housing + copper cavity insert + brass connector bodies) are produced under a single quality record and shipped together, reducing assembly lead time for the customer.
