Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services utilize multi-axis centers for high-speed, flexible production of complex components. We deliver tight tolerances up to 0.0005 inches, using materials like steel, aluminum, and plastics. With live tooling and automatic bar feeding, we ensure repeatable quality for industries requiring precision parts, from automotive to medical devices. Our ISO-certified processes guarantee compliance with rigorous international standards.
Swiss CNC Machining
Swiss CNC machining produces micro-parts with diameters as small as 0.125 inches, achieving tolerances down to 0.0002 inches. Our sliding-headstock technology and multi-axis controls enable complex geometries for aerospace, medical, and electronics applications. Live tooling and automated bar feeders ensure efficiency, while NIST-certified tools maintain measurement accuracy for high-volume, high-precision runs.
High-Volume Machining
High-volume machining specializes in runs exceeding 1,000 pieces, using multi-spindle and automatic bar machines for efficiency. We handle materials like steel, brass, and composites, producing millions of parts annually. Our ISO-certified quality systems, including PPAP documentation, ensure consistency. Secondary operations like grinding and plating streamline production, reducing lead times for clients in automotive and industrial sectors.
Screw Machine Products
Screw machine products include precision components for aerospace, hydraulics, and electronics, with runs starting at 1,000 pieces. Our Davenport, Acme Gridley, and Swiss machines handle materials like stainless steel and aluminum. Advanced CAD/CAM integration ensures uniformity, while in-house tooling and secondary operations like broaching enhance cost-effectiveness for high-volume orders.
Secondary Operations
Secondary operations include grinding, plating, heat treating, and assembly, performed in-house to reduce lead times. These services support complex part requirements, ensuring components meet exact specifications without outsourcing. Our capabilities extend to part washing, packaging, and inventory management, providing end-to-end solutions that enhance production efficiency for clients across industries.
