Services
CNC Machining
We offer advanced CNC machining capabilities from manual milling to high-speed 5-axis simultaneous machining. Our equipment handles both low and high-volume production runs for aircraft components. This versatility enables us to maintain the highest volume of government contracts in Oklahoma while meeting strict aerospace tolerances.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Our sheet metal capabilities range from simple brackets to complex formed assemblies. We combine traditional methods with modern techniques like dynamic water jet cutting and digital conversion processes. Our engineers create 3D models from legacy Mylar drawings, eliminating costly assembly fixtures while maintaining precision in component manufacturing.
Aircraft Assembly
We perform multiple assembly processes including riveting, welding, and bonding for aircraft systems. Our lean manufacturing approach reduces production time while maintaining quality. The engineering team uses virtual assembly techniques to optimize component fit before physical production, minimizing errors and rework in final assemblies.
Digital Conversion
Our digital conversion process transforms full-scale Mylar drawings into 3D models using high-accuracy scanning. This enables virtual pre-assembly and fastener hole mapping without physical prototypes. This technology bridges old and new manufacturing methods while maintaining dimensional accuracy for legacy aircraft components.
Lean Manufacturing
We implement lean manufacturing principles including 5S organization and Six Sigma quality control. Our continuous improvement program reallocates production staff to process optimization teams. This approach increases capacity without additional resources while maintaining our position as a top 10 manufacturing employer in Grove, Oklahoma.
