Inside Our 5-Axis CNC Cell
How we hold ±0.01 mm on jewellery-scale parts, and what that means for tension settings and seamless hinges.
By Platinum Titanium
Jewellery components are small, but their machining challenges are not. At this scale, tool deflection, heat and workholding errors can decide whether a clasp closes cleanly or a tension setting performs as designed.
Five axes, fewer compromises
Simultaneous 5-axis movement keeps the cutting tool at the correct angle around compound surfaces. Fewer setups reduce datum changes and the tolerance stack introduced by re-clamping.
Where ±0.01 mm matters
We reserve tight control for functional interfaces such as hinge pins, bearing faces, stone seats and calibrated spring zones. Cosmetic surfaces retain the machining allowance needed for finishing.
A controlled production loop
Programs begin with released CAD, verified workholding and a probed origin. First-off inspection establishes compensation before the validated process is locked for the batch.
