Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of core does Precision Honeycomb work with?

    Both metallic and non-metallic cores including aluminium (5052/5056), nickel, stainless steel, Nomex, Kevlar, craft, glass, phenolic coated, and various other composite materials.

  • What tolerances can be held when machining core?

    Standard tolerance is +/- .030 at the edge of part, +/- .006 thickness, +/- 2° bevel angle. Tighter tolerances are achievable dependent on core material type, core density, and cell size.  Precision Honeycomb engineering can assist in all phases of design analysis to help you understand what is, and is not, possible when machining core.

  • What are typical lead times for getting parts made?

    Material availability is often a driver of lead time estimates.  As is the complexity and volume of your particular job.  Once a PO has been issued and the material is on-hand, a typically quoted lead time would be 4-6 weeks.  When machine time and material are available, we have turned jobs around in as little as 1 week.  Precision Honeycomb will always go the extra mile to meet customer requirements and timing.

  • What are Precision Honeycomb's engineering capabilities?

    Precision Honeycomb is a “build to print” shop.  We take your engineering package and produce parts to your specifications and tolerances.  However, we are very good at “back stopping” your engineering.  We are good at catching errors and making suggestions about potential part design changes that can make parts more cost effective to manufacture.  We do have in-house tooling and fixture design capabilities for parts that require two sided machining or need to be formed.

  • What special processes are you able to preform?

    Precision Honeycomb is experienced at all types of core forming, bonding, potting, and stabilization.

  • Can Precision Honeycombs procure the material for our job?

    Yes. We have relationships witth many honeycomb and foam core manufacturers, so we can buy the material and provide you an all-inclusive price for your parts.

  • What certifications does Precision Honeycomb hold?

    We are ITAR registered and work with NQA for our AS9100 and ISO9001 certifications. 

  • Do you have a certified oven?

    Yes. Precision Honeycomb has a large oven that is certified to AMS2750F. We can provide you with a documented record of the full oven cycle that your parts undergo from ramp-up, to soak, to ramp-down.

  • Are you nice people to work with?

    Yes. We are.
