Energy CNC Machining
The energy sector is necessary for modern society and is one of the largest uses for CNC machined components. From wind and solar power to hydroelectric turbines, components manufactured for the energy industry need to be made from the highest quality materials and to precise specifications. Elimold’s highly skilled CNC machinists work closely with you to custom design the highest quality energy components to suit your specific project needs. You can count on us to provide the best precision parts with the tightest tolerances.
High-quality customized energy CNC machining and manufacturing services
At Elimold, we provide CNC machining services to the energy industry for rapid prototyping, low-volume and large-scale production. Manufacturing in the energy industry is subject to tight tolerance controls and there is a strong need to adhere to certain specifications. From solar to wind and hydro, large components must be durable and able to withstand harsh environments. With our CNC machining services, Elimold can manufacture large parts with dimensional accuracy typically only seen in small parts. We also offer 3D printing services, a process ideal for rapid machining, custom spare parts production and complex part creation. Our total manufacturing solutions are designed to improve overall product quality, cost-effectiveness and faster time-to-market for all our customers. From commercial power to solar, fossil fuels, oil and gas, our engineers will help you deliver innovative solutions to your business’s most critical challenges.
Ability to customize CNC parts for the energy industry
In the energy industry, machined parts and assemblies must perform reliably in harsh working environments where they are often exposed to corrosive or abrasive materials. Drilling rigs, fracking equipment, oil refineries and now wind turbines and solar panels all rely on parts precision engineered and manufactured using Elimold’s state-of-the-art CNC machines.
Our CNC machining solutions deliver unparalleled precision and accuracy through custom integration and automation.
Elimold develops complete turnkey solutions to reliably and accurately machine your parts, no matter which sector of the energy or renewable energy industry your shop is machining parts for.
Whether it’s replacement parts for an oil refinery or high-volume production of precision rails and frames for solar panels, our experts can design machining applications that validate quality and improve the efficiency of your operations with automated infeed and outfeed systems.
Our precision machining capabilities for the energy industry include:
Wire EDM：a very detailed process that entails using a thin wire as an electrode to cut a material (workpiece) with sparks. This process produces an extremely accurate cut and quality finish, even on the smallest of products.
Ram EDM： rather than using a fine wire as an electrode, a negative-formed shape is used to create the spark erosion and achieve the desired component shape and details. Conventional EDM is often used when the desired cut or design feature does not need to penetrate through the entire workpiece.
Lathes Turning ： this operation is one of the most basic machining processes; the part is rotated while a single point cutting tool is moved parallel to the axis of rotation. Turning can be done on the external surface of the part as well as internally (boring).
Micromachining ： refers to the precise milling and manufacturing of extremely small parts and products. These components can be cut down to one-thousandth of a millimeter, helping make the production of micron parts more efficient and realistic.
5-Axis Machining ： The cutting tool of a 5-axis machining center moves across the X, Y, and Z linear axes, but also rotates on the A and B axes – allowing the cutting tool to approach components from any direction.
Precision Machining ： Whether you’re looking for custom tools and dies or steel tools for a medical facility, precision CNC machined parts are necessary to help your company run smoothly

Elastomers
Liquid silicone rubber and other elastomers are suitable for vacuum casting processes. These materials have excellent temperature resistance, impact, and shock resistance and are ideal for high-performance industrial applications in various energy sectors.
Metals
Premium Parts can work with the most popular metal alloys of steel, aluminum, copper, and titanium. These metals are suitable for high-conductivity, high-pressure, high-strength, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant applications. Steel is used for making most concentric pipes that require high strength and toughness, while copper is excellent for electrical conductivity.
Metal materials may be 3D printed, CNC machined, die-casted, extruded, formed, or pressed into end-use parts. Other metal options range from magnesium to brass, silver, tin, superalloys, and even custom materials.
