Services
Swiss CNC Machining
Swiss CNC machining produces complex, high-precision parts for medical, aerospace, and automotive industries. Our 10 Marubeni Citizen machines and Eurotech twin-spindle system handle exotic materials like titanium and inconel. The sliding headstock design with guide bushing support ensures tolerances within .0001 inches for parts as small as 1/64 inch diameter.
Acme Screw Machines
Acme Gridley screw machines specialize in high-volume production of large-diameter parts up to 2 inches. With 11 Acme machines and partnerships in Michigan, we handle complex geometries in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The 6-spindle design allows simultaneous operations for cost-effective manufacturing in automotive and defense sectors.
Hydromat Rotary Transfer
Hydromat rotary transfer machines enable high-volume production with 16-station capabilities. Our two machines process 45mm and 32mm diameters while minimizing material waste through short remnants. This technology serves automotive and industrial clients needing complex parts with tight tolerances in reduced cycle times.
Quality Control
Our quality control department uses coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and 100% dimensional verification for ISO 9001 compliance. Advanced tools like micrometers and calipers ensure precision across all departments, supported by operator and QC inspections during production and final checks before shipping.
Component Assembly
The assembly department grew from 3 to 7 employees over two years, handling six product lines for three clients. This value-added service complements machining operations, offering complete solutions from precision part production to final assembly for automotive, medical, and industrial customers.
