Services
Multifunction CNC Machining
Our multiaxis CNC machining combines milling, turning, and live tooling in single setups to produce complex parts with tight tolerances. Using DMG MORI systems, we achieve high-speed production cycles for materials ranging from plastics to titanium. This service supports industries requiring precision components with reduced lead times through automated processes and in-house tooling expertise.
Precision CNC Milling
Precision CNC milling utilizes advanced vertical and horizontal centers with pallet changers and four-axis rotary tables to machine parts up to 50" x 25" x 28". Our equipment includes spindle probes and automatic gauging to minimize errors, while real-time scheduling ensures on-time delivery. We handle materials like stainless steel, aluminum, and composites for applications demanding dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality.
Precision CNC Turning
Precision CNC turning employs two-axis and eight-axis Swiss-style lathes to produce turned parts up to 14" in diameter. Automated spindle transfers enable complete machining in one cycle, while live tooling allows combined turning and milling operations. This service delivers high-precision components for industries requiring tight tolerances and fast turnaround times using materials like brass, carbon steel, and titanium.
Precision Metal Fabrication
Our precision metal fabrication covers laser cutting, CNC punching, forming, and certified welding for parts from 0.001" shim stock to 5/8" steel plate. With capabilities in steel, aluminum, and copper, we support prototyping to high-volume production. Expert staff and state-of-the-art equipment ensure quality control for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications requiring complex geometries and material versatility.
Secondary Services
Secondary services include assembly, tooling, prototyping, and parts kitting to streamline production workflows. Our in-house capabilities ensure quality control across stages, from initial design validation to final component integration. These services support clients seeking end-to-end solutions that reduce outsourcing complexities while maintaining precision and adherence to project timelines.
