The ability of machine tools to perform repetitive actions is a key factor that has made them best for the automobile industry. Additionally, the machines have higher production rates because there is very little down times and changeovers are eliminated. With the invention of the computer numerical controls, part designs are developed using computer aided design software. The design is transferred to the machine software which re arranges the files in such a way as to direct the operation of the machine, movement of the tool and the machining operation.
In highly automated systems, one machining unit may have several operations combined on a work piece such that processes run sequentially. This also reduces the time required to complete a job and increasing the efficiency of the operation.
CNC Milling
This method of manufacturing is used in batch manufacturing continuous process. Pieces to be milled are stationed on the machine and milling operations are run automatically from piece to piece until the raw material is completed and more is fed to the machine.
Parts manufactured through milling
A wide variety of parts is made through milling. They include transmissions, gearbox cases, transmission housings, engine cylinder heads, aluminium drive housings, flywheels, engine locks, piston rods, wheels, water pumps, and more of these equipments.
Manufacturing of parts such as fuel injectors requires very high precision. Camshafts’ grinding is also a core application of CNC machines and is achieved through computer-aided designing.
Rack and pinion systems machining
These systems have very wide applications in automobiles. Some basic applications in the car include the wind shield wiper system, hydraulic steering, power windows, electric hand brakes, wing mirror adjustments, and manufacture of small gear worms. The gears are made through the milling process. In form milling the shape of the tool takes the shape of the gap between the gear teeth. Each tooth is cut with cutter moving progressively until completion.
Turning
This process uses the turning machine or the lathe machine. It is used to make rotational parts through continuous removal of the unwanted parts. Apart from turning, the lathe does other processes such as facing, grooving, cut off and thread cutting. The machine also performs internal work piece operations such as axial drilling, boring, reaming, and tapping which is the creation of internal threads.
Automotive parts made through turning.
Manufacture of brake disks is the most common application of the lathe in the motor industry. In some cases , specialized brake lathes have been made due to the rapid demand for this particular part. Other parts made with the lathe include brake drums, rotors , the fly wheel and most parts requiring the threading and phasing operations.
Drilling
This is also a process of milling using equipments such as the radial drill, cord drills and the pedestal drills. They are also very important in automotive workshops in making of slots as well as cutting threads.
The range of applications of the machine tools in automotive industry continues to increase exponentially. This has been enhanced by development of computer numeric controlled machines, which are able to transform design to completed product in a very short time frame. High-speed machining techniques have also enabled greater precision to be achieved.

Critical parameters that must be achieved
The straight side type is widely used for inline mass production. It has two vertical arms on the sides. It has a strong housing on the top part that house the crankshaft. They have crankshaft and pulleys that change the type of motion.
With the increasing number of foods, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry requiring metal and plastic caps, the market is expected to rise gradually in the next 5 years. The use of metallic caps is however facing stiff competition from the cheaper plastic that contributes to over 80% of all the closures. In 2013, the closures market accounted for US$ 40 billion and this is expected to rise to US$ 43Billion (5.3%). US market closures consist of 80.6 % plastics and 9.8% metals. However, with the negative environmental impacts associated with plastics, the metallic closures are expected to take a larger portion.
Contractors specializing in fabrication of many custom items have to make numerous rings that differ in design. This is achieved by using CNC machine. The jewels are automatically made by adjusting the tools and feed. In addition, these devices have the capacity of not only performing the turning, facing and other conventional lathe work but can also mill and perform cylindrical grinding.
They are characterized by minute tool post and chuck which are designed to handle tiny work pieces. Their bed is machined to perfect straightness. They are also fitted with a plate chuck which assists in holding complex shaped work pieces. They have a smaller bed, tailstock, head stock and carriage. These machines also have low power consumption and are very efficient. They are compact, durable and have excellent functionality.
The shape of the container allows easy stacking on top of each other. Since they are manufactured from high strength materials and locked, they are intrusion free. They also have identification number allowing for easy tracking via GPS and RFID.
Aluminum types are made of steel frames while the sides, front, back, roof and bottom are made with high strength durable aluminum.
The roof panels are made pressing using a specially designed press brake machine. This device punch presses the plate against the die to form the intended shape.
The floor frame is then made by cutting the plate using a shearing machine and these are folded using a press brake machine. This machine folds the material forming a U shaped bracket. A series of these brackets are welded to form a very strong base.

Special features
In 2012, the global AC market was valued at US$86.8 billion and US$91.6 billion in 2013. The Asia pacific region has the highest demand due to rising industrial, commercial and residential sectors. The main units demanded are roof tops, indoor packaged, chiller plants and central ducted types.
