5 Cleaning Methods for Precision CNC Machined Parts

Quite a lot of factors are involved in making the OEM CNC precision machined parts efficient like none other. The entire process of CNC machining is one thing to be looked into closely to carry it out perfectly without any onset complications to have damage-free final products in the end. We all are aware that if a product is not manufactured finely that it is surely not going to be as efficient as it is supposed to be. Other than that, proper cleaning of these CNC machined parts is one of the most critical factors that need to be paid enough attention to. If a CNC machined part is not cleaned according to its standards, then it is going to be problematic for it. Therefore, one must appropriately clean each, and every CNC machined part regardless of anything. With that being said, do you know how one can clean CNC machined parts? Oh, you don’t? Then we have a big problem here. Don’t take it seriously; we were just messing with you; you can easily get hold of all the various CNC machined parts cleaning methods. For your ease, we have briefly described them all in this article, so read it till the end.

  • Scrub off

The easiest of all ways to clean these machined parts is to scrub them accurately. It is the same as you scrub anything else to clean oil and dirt from it, but as we are dealing with machined parts here, you need to do it in a certain way. To begin scrubbing these machined parts, you will first have to put them in a container. You then will have to fill that container with any cleaning liquid, like diesel or kerosene, etc. Once the parts are submerged in any of these cleaning liquids, you can start scrubbing them with cotton yarn or brush; that’s it. However, even though it is very easy, this method isn’t as efficient as the others. You can use this for cleaning a small batch of small parts or prototypes; it will work perfectly for them. One reason for discouraging this method from regular use is because of the fat-soluble properties of gasoline; it can damage human health and can also cause frequent fires.

  • Boil away

Boiling is another way to wash off any dirt and oil from the machined parts and increase their efficiency. In this, you first have to prepare a solution just like you prepare a solution for scrubbing the machined parts. You will have to put that solution and the parts into a clean bath and let those babies have their much-needed bath time. The bathtub should be made of welded steel plates in the appropriate size with an under-pool stove. You will then have to heat the bath at 80 to 90 degrees and let it boil for straight 3 to 5 minutes. 

  • Spraying

You can clean the machined parts by spraying the cleaning liquid onto them. You will have to spray the cleaning liquid onto the surface of the machined parts with a certain pressure and temperature, and it will clean the parts entirely. However, this method isn’t much effective for parts that have complicated shapes or some serious oil stains.

  • Vibrating Wash

For this, you will need a vibrator washer in the first place. You can clean the machined parts by placing them onto the cleaning rack of the vibrator washer and immersing them in the cleaning liquid. The vibration of the washer will work like manual washing of the parts, and the cleaning liquid will clean off the dirt and oil from the surface of the machined parts. The parts that will come out of the vibrator washer will be neat, clean, and highly efficient.

  • Ultrasonic Cleaning

You won’t have to do anything in this method as the cleaning liquid will do it. Cleaning liquids also have the quality of ultrasonic oscillation, and they can be relied on to clean the surface of the machined parts. You will have to submerge the machined parts into an ultrasonic oscillation one cleaning liquid, and it will do the thing by causing a chemical reaction, and all the dirt, oil, and grease will be removed completely.
