Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling capabilities handle complex components up to 14 feet using advanced machining centers. With 5-axis capabilities and 30+ HP equipment, we achieve tight tolerances for industries requiring high-precision parts. Our machinists program optimized toolpaths using Surfcam and SolidWorks integration.
Surface Grinding
We offer horizontal and vertical rotary surface grinding for complex geometries. Our 12-foot Mattison grinders handle workpieces up to 38 inches wide with vacuum capabilities for non-magnetic materials. This ensures flatness tolerances within 0.0001 inches for critical applications.
Reverse Engineering
Using CMM data and 3D modeling software, we recreate legacy components without original blueprints. Our engineers convert physical parts into digital models for accurate reproduction in CNC machining processes.
Welding Services
We provide MIG and TIG welding for precision assemblies. Our certified welders work with various alloys using 300-400 AMP machines, ensuring structural integrity with minimal distortion and spatter for critical applications.
Inspection Services
Our three CMMs (DEA Epsilon, DEA IOTA, Zeiss Prismo) verify dimensional accuracy up to 0.00004 inches. We provide comprehensive inspection reports and documentation for quality assurance across all production batches.
