What We Do Better Than Anyone Else
Custom Tooling and Fixturing
To make machining simpler, our engineers design tooling and workholding devices to make the machining process as efficient as possible.
Robotic Workforce
Automatic loading and unloading? Unattended runs? We have in-house engineers to design custom applications to make machining your parts easier.
Complexity
With live tooling and 3, 4, and 5-axis machines, we can handle all your complex features.
Finish and Marking
Appearances are everything. We can mark your part numbers or logos, leave a beautiful surface finish, and outsource plating or anodizing.
Sourcing Material and Hardware
You handle the design; we’ll take care of sourcing the raw material and small components like screws and springs.
Capabilities
Take a look at our detailed machine listing!
CNC Turning
Our CNC lathe department supports Swiss-style, dual spindle and live-tooling machines. To maximize repeatability and minimize handling, we have 12’ bar feeders, gantry and robot loading cells, and build-in gantry loaders and unloaders. Ideal for:
• Bushings, flanges, sleeves, and shafts
• Parts with cross-holes, threads, or secondary flats
• Tight concentricity and true-position callouts
CNC Milling
Our vertical and horizontal mills with high pressure coolant are perfect for parts with compound angles or multiple faces. These machines have a pallet with fixturing to hold the part in place while it is machined. These fixtures can handle multiple different or like parts at the same time. Perfect for:
• Electrical housings, transmissions, valve blocks, and other castings
• Tight tolerance bosses, pockets, profiles, and slots
• Critical geometries on sealing faces
• Parallelism, perpendicularity, and profile callouts
Assembly
Our ERP software and custom reports allow us to schedule an assembly’s components months before the final product is needed to account for not just lead times for raw material and outsource processes, but also machine and personnel availability across multiple locations. We can handle:
• Firearm components with subcontracted components and protective finishes, all with certifications on file.
• Butterfly valve body, stem, and disc machining with shelf-life limited o-rings and seals monitored by our home-grown system.
• Custom hydraulic equipment and fixturing to make the assembly process easier.
CNC Multitasking
Our multitasking machines use a combination of turning, milling, and drilling to make your part without the need for multiple machining steps. This increases the cycle time and repeatability and eliminates the need for multiple setups and tool changeovers. Designed for:
• Clamp bodies, defense parts, tube fittings, and valve components
• Complex parts with holes at different angles
• Parts that need turning as well as slots and pockets
