Services
Laser Cutting
Our advanced Bystronic and Amada laser systems cut sheet and tubing up to 1" mild steel, 3/8" aluminum, and 6" diameter pipe. Rotary cutting capabilities handle complex shapes with tight tolerances. We maintain precision across materials including stainless steel and inconel for aerospace and medical applications.
CNC Punching
Two Amada VIPROS punch presses with automated loaders achieve 600 hits per minute for high-volume production. Our systems handle complex patterns and multiple material thicknesses while maintaining dimensional accuracy through computer-controlled operations for consistent output.
Metal Forming
Three Amada RG series press brakes perform precision forming for complex geometries. Our CNC-controlled back-gages ensure repeatable accuracy across production runs. Capabilities include louvers, lancing, and wire-forming operations for commercial and aerospace applications requiring exact specifications.
Welding
Six certified welding stations handle MIG, TIG, spot, and arc welding with Miller and Fronius equipment. Our welders work with steel, aluminum, and exotic metals, producing uniform welds through robotic-assisted processes while maintaining aerospace and medical industry quality standards.
Precision Machining
Fadal and Haas CNC mills, along with Samsung and HWACHEON lathes, handle complex machining tasks. We maintain tight tolerances in metals and machinable plastics using SolidWorks and AutoCAD programming. Our equipment supports both prototype development and production runs with consistent quality.
