Services
I.D. and O.D. Turning
Our I.D. and O.D. turning services produce precise internal and external diameters on complex components. Using advanced CNC lathes, we achieve tight tolerances for parts requiring dimensional accuracy within 0.0001 inches. This process accommodates materials like stainless steel, Inconel, and carbon steel, meeting API and ISO specifications for critical applications in energy and industrial sectors.
Gun Drilling and Boring
Gun drilling and boring services create deep, straight holes in challenging materials with high precision. Our equipment handles depths up to 100 inches while maintaining concentricity and surface finish quality. This capability supports production of valve bodies, tubing hangers, and other components requiring reliable fluid flow channels in oil and gas operations.
Valve Seat Pocket Milling
Specialized valve seat pocket milling ensures precise geometry and surface finish on critical sealing surfaces. We machine API-compliant valve bodies with complex internal features using 5-axis CNC technology. This service supports energy industry clients requiring leak-proof performance in high-pressure environments.
High-Temp Alloy Machining
Our expertise in high-temp alloys like Inconel and Hastelloy addresses challenges of machining materials with low thermal conductivity and work hardening tendencies. Custom tooling and optimized cutting parameters produce dimensionally stable parts for extreme temperature applications in aerospace and energy sectors.
Industrial Pump Parts Production
We produce precision pump components including high-pressure manifolds and large-diameter fittings. Our processes ensure dimensional consistency across production runs, meeting API 6A specifications for critical sealing surfaces. This capability supports pump manufacturers requiring reliable performance in demanding industrial applications.
