Machining Titanium Alloy Watches

Next, let us start the Falcon championship journey and witness how this flagship watch made of titanium was born. These tortuous and complicated processes have condensed the cutting-edge technology of modern industry and the sweat and attempts of engineers day and night before it can finally be presented. into the hands of consumers.

The story begins with an inconspicuous titanium alloy plate.

At first, it looked unremarkable, but with complex forging and CNC molding, it began to shine with the low-key and sparkling nature of titanium. We need to know something about the material titanium. Titanium is a metal with very stable performance. The most obvious advantage is that it is light but extremely hard, so it is often used in aerospace materials; it is also very compatible with the human body, and it is used as an implant in modern medicine. In the field of smart wear, titanium and titanium alloy watches are also very good materials, but they are usually only used in flagship watches because they are expensive to manufacture and difficult to process. After we have a high-quality titanium alloy plate, we want to turn it into a watch embryo that can be used for carving. For this step, we have gone through these processes: high-speed punching, high-frequency oscillation, high-pressure forging, manual grinding, precision trimming, etc. At this time, it is still a solid metal block. From the appearance, it already looks like a watch. Next, we need to hollow out this solid titanium watch embryo so that various complex and sophisticated electronic devices can be placed in the case.

But this process is not simple. Due to the comprehensive influence of the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of the titanium alloy itself, during the processing of the titanium alloy by the CNC machine, the tool is subjected to high temperature, large cutting force, long friction distance, and large vibration deformation. Sticking knives, etc., lead to serious wear of the knives, which is much more difficult than stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc. High-speed steel knives, cemented carbide knives, and ordinary coated knives used in ordinary metal CNC machining are not suitable for processing titanium alloys. Special composite coated knives, even diamond knives, and CBN knives are required to perform better. On average, 1 tool is lost for every 4 watch cases produced, and the cost is huge.

After having a preliminary case, what needs to be done is to grind and polish step by step, over and over again, and finally process it into a case with sharp edges and perfect dimensions for the next step.

In order to create a delicate texture effect, every tiny part of the product surface is finely polished thousands of times by using fine polishing particles, so as to maintain the product design shape and lay a solid foundation for the texture description.

Falcon has the highest waterproof level of Amazfit brand watches: 20ATM waterproof. In order to do a good job of waterproof treatment, the omnipotent laser is on the stage. The precise and sharp laser performs cross-texture treatment on the key waterproof positions inside the case according to the set process. Remove foreign matter on the surface, improve the affinity between the metal and the adhesive, and ensure reliable waterproof performance of the watch.

After processing the texture of the inner shell of the case, use a fully automatic dispensing robot to inject glue. In order to do a good job of waterproofing, we use 3M’s custom-made glue. After 288 hours of high-temperature and high-humidity ring testing, the waterproof performance of the glue is still strong. Rock, reliable and worry-free.

In the installation steps of the PPG sensor on the display screen and the back of the watch, industry-leading high-precision CCD technology is used, with an accuracy of 0.02mm.

At this point, a semi-finished Falcon has appeared. Next, engineers will carefully check the internal structure and installation of the watch.

Close the upper cover of the watch, tighten the fixing screws, and then go through a series of complicated inspection and delivery processes. Finally, an Amazfit Falcon that breaks the limit is born. I hope that CNC machining operators will continue to challenge and break their own experience in CNC machining titanium alloys. limit.

Smart wear is gradually popularized. The types of enterprises involved in its industrial chain include terminal, ODM, electronic component manufacturers, structural parts manufacturers, material companies and related equipment manufacturers. From the perspective of materials, it mainly involves glass, sapphire, ceramics, stainless steel, Aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, plastic, elastomer, etc. We are the best manufacturer of CNC machining titanium alloy parts in China, and can CNC process various watch components for you in small batches.
