From drawing to measured part

Seven steps. We carry out six ourselves; for the seventh, we remain your point of contact.

Which machining operations does Fijn Mekaniek Nelissen carry out?

Fijn Mekaniek Nelissen carries out turning, milling and EDM on metal and plastic, from one-off parts to large series. Surface grinding, sandblasting, ultrasonic cleaning, start-hole EDM drilling and assembly are done in house. A range of finishing treatments is handled by specialised partners. Every workpiece is inspected.

  1. 01

    Design input and manufacturability

    We prefer to be involved early. A design that works on paper is not necessarily the design that is quickest, most stable or most economical to make. Together we look at set-ups, machining sequence and material choice, so the part can be made before the first chip is cut.

    • Manufacturability advice on your drawing
    • Advice on set-up and machining sequence
    • Material and tolerance advice
    • A prototype to prove it in practice

    Turning

    Our turning centres are equipped with driven tools and a Y-axis, so turning and milling take place in a single set-up. With bar feeding we run repeat series unmanned.

    • CNC turning with driven tools and Y-axis
    • Bar feeding for unmanned series production
    • Multitasking: turning and milling in one set-up
    • Metal and plastic
  3. 03

    Milling

    For complex geometry we use 5-axis simultaneous milling machines. Fewer set-ups mean fewer accumulated errors. Here too, robot loading lets production continue unmanned.

    • 5-axis simultaneous milling
    • Vertical and horizontal machining centres
    • Robot loading for series
    • Complex prototypes and large runs
  4. 04

    EDM

    Wire EDM offers high dimensional accuracy and an excellent surface finish, even in hard and difficult-to-machine materials. What is more, no mechanical cutting forces are involved, so very small and delicate parts can be machined accurately.

    • Wire EDM
    • Start-hole EDM drilling
    • Hard materials
    • Sharp internal corners
  5. 05

    Finishing and assembly

    A part is only finished when it is clean, flat and assembled. We carry out those steps in house, so the workpiece does not have to leave our premises between machining and delivery.

    • Surface grinding
    • Sandblasting
    • Ultrasonic cleaning
    • Assembly and sub-assemblies
  6. 06

    Measuring and certification

    Every workpiece is measured. This is done in a climate-controlled inspection room because, at this level of accuracy, a single degree of temperature difference shows up in the measurement. The measurement data and the required certificates are supplied with the delivery.

    • Wenzel 3D measuring machines
    • Roughness measurement and profile projection
    • Measurement report and certificates on delivery

    Finishing treatments

    Through specialised partners

    Alongside machining we also offer a range of finishing treatments through specialised partners, so that you get a complete solution from us. Scheduling, follow-up and documentation stay with us, so you have one point of contact. The necessary certificates and measurement reports can be supplied with the parts.

Questions

About our services

Do you make one-off parts or only series?

Both. We are equipped for the most complex prototypes and for large series, because we have 5-axis and multitasking machines as well as bar feeders and robot loading in house.

Which operations are carried out in house?

Turning, milling, wire EDM and start-hole EDM drilling, as well as surface grinding, sandblasting, ultrasonic cleaning and assembly. The workpiece therefore does not have to leave our premises between machining and delivery.

Can you also arrange finishing treatments?

Yes. Alongside machining we offer a range of finishing treatments through specialised partners, so that you get a complete solution from us. Scheduling, follow-up and documentation stay with us, so you have one point of contact, and the necessary certificates and measurement reports can be supplied with the parts.

How early can you get involved?

Ideally from the concept stage. A design that works on paper is not necessarily the one that is quickest or most stable to make. We look at set-up, machining sequence and material choice with you before the first chip is cut.

Is every workpiece measured?

Yes. Everything is inspected in a climate-controlled inspection room, using a Mitutoyo Crysta-Apex V9208 and Wenzel 3D measuring machines, among others. The measurement data and certificates can be supplied with the delivery on request.

Send us your drawing. We'll take a look.

Send us your 2D or 3D file and we will tell you what it costs, how long it takes and whether the design could be made easier to produce.
