Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services deliver complex components with tight tolerances using advanced multi-axis systems. Capable of handling materials from aluminum to exotic alloys, we provide production-ready parts for critical oilfield applications. With 40+ years of industry experience, our machinists program optimized toolpaths for efficiency while maintaining ISO 9001 quality standards. This service supports both prototype development and high-volume manufacturing requirements.
EDM Services
Specialized EDM capabilities include wire and sinker EDM for intricate shapes in conductive materials. Our 5-axis CNC EDM systems achieve complex geometries unattainable through conventional methods. This technology excels with hardened metals like titanium and inconel, maintaining dimensional accuracy within 0.0001 inches. Applications include mold components, aerospace parts, and precision tooling for energy sector clients requiring exacting specifications.
Prototype Development
Full-service prototype development transforms concepts into functional test models using production-intent materials. Our engineers collaborate on DFM analysis while employing rapid machining techniques to accelerate time-to-market. Capabilities span one-off samples to pre-production runs, with material options including specialty metals and high-performance plastics. This service supports validation testing for new oil and gas equipment designs prior to full-scale manufacturing.
Precision Welding
ASME-certified welders perform precision joining of exotic alloys using TIG, MIG, and orbital processes. We maintain AWS D1.1 compliance for structural applications while handling thicknesses from thin-wall tubing to heavy-section components. Post-weld heat treatment and NDT inspection ensure integrity for critical energy infrastructure. This service supports repair operations and custom fabrication of complex assemblies requiring certified weld procedures.
Quality Inspection
Comprehensive quality assurance includes CMM inspection, surface finish analysis, and metallurgical testing. Our lab verifies conformance to ASME, API, and customer-specific standards using calibrated equipment. Services include first-article inspection, in-process checks, and final QA documentation packages. This ensures traceability and compliance for components used in upstream, midstream, and downstream oilfield operations requiring documented quality control.
