CNC Machining

Standard shop machining may not be sufficient for exotic alloys, as component failure, microscopic wear, and operational downtime can severely impact fleets, production lines, and production targets. Highly regulated sectors like aerospace, defense, and medical device manufacturing need precision and speed.

ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ³¬ÎÛ engineers components for extreme duty cycles. Our predictive maintenance insights and advanced CNC machining techniques ensure your parts last longer and perform under pressure. We research material behavior to develop insights on friction coefficients, thermal barriers, and wear patterns from our in-house Technology Center. Our machining capabilities range from .125 inches (3.17 mm) to 72 inches (1,828mm).

Precision Multi-Axis Machining for Complex Geometries

Implementing automated cell loading in CNC operations can transform production efficiency. It streamlines processes without sacrificing precision, increasing spindle utilization from  in most instances. Our specialty milling centers and CNC router capabilities achieve tight tolerances on complex geometries that other suppliers may not have the capacity to produce.

We manufacture precision products, including complex housings, pinions, seals, and bearings that require exact multi-axis coordination to prevent friction and wear. Our investment in late-model equipment spans horizontal and vertical turning centers:

  • Okuma LB3000 EX II: High-speed shaft production with live tooling achieves fast, accurate turning of pinions and close-tolerance components.
  • Doosan 5100MB: Box guideways provide stable, precise machining of housings and bearings requiring tight tolerances with reduced setup and cycle times.
  • Okuma LU3000 EX: Dual-spindle, dual-turret machining centers combine full milling and turning capabilities in a single setup for complex features.

This equipment diversity drastically reduces cycle times while maintaining the dimensional accuracy your critical applications demand.

Swiss Machining Services for Micro-Precision Parts

Swiss-type machining is best suited for medical devices, aerospace fasteners, or complex hydraulic valves. It provides consistency by guiding the material directly to the cutting tool, preventing deflection that can compromise tolerances measured in microns.

Our advanced Swiss machining services are specifically designed for high-volume production of small, intricate parts that require zero-defect micro-components. These machining capabilities include:

  • Star SR20 Type A: With this system, we can machine parts up to 20mm in diameter with multi-axis capabilities for turning, milling, and drilling in a single setup. It also ensures high accuracy and repeatability for intricate components. It can be customized to meet specific requirements due to its range of tooling options, reducing production time while improving efficiency.
  • Star SR38 Type A: Our Star SR38 Type A machines are designed for the production of parts up to 38mm, providing high-speed turning, milling, and drilling with consistent precision to meet stringent quality requirements.
  • Star SR38 Type B: This model features advanced control systems for consistent quality across all parts up to 38mm in diameter. Its simultaneous machining operations support high-volume production runs, reducing cycle times on larger components while maintaining precision.

Swiss-type lathes guide the material directly to the cutting tool, reducing the risk of compromising tolerances. This capability is critical when machining long, slender components, where even minimal tool pressure can cause bending or vibration. With these machines, we excel at producing components that require dimensional consistency for regulatory compliance and safety.

Our Large-Part CNC Machining and Heavy-Duty Turning Capabilities

Our equipment is purpose-built to handle large components, including the spindle power needed to maintain tolerances on parts weighing several tons. It is ideal for large pump housings, industrial gearbox components, or aerospace structural elements, with capabilities including large-part CNC machining and heavy-duty CNC vertical turning.

Our expertise in large shaft machining means we can handle massive scale without sacrificing close-tolerance precision through the following capabilities:

  • Giddings and Lewis VTC 2500: Featuring a 2.5-meter table with high rigidity, precision spindle, live tooling capability, and automatic tool changer, this turning center is ideal for efficiently turning large, heavy parts and for complex machining, with reduced setup times.
  • Okuma VTM 100: Consisting of a 43-inch table with dual spindles and milling capabilities, including an automatic tool changer and advanced control systems, this model enables simultaneous machining of multiple sides, improving productivity and accuracy.
  • Momentum MVL-12M: With a 69-inch, heavy-duty table with full milling capabilities and multiple tool stations for machining flexibility, this option is ideal for large components requiring precise and stable operation.

Our CNC capabilities for large components mean you’re never forced to compromise on size or precision. We machine parts that are too large for standard shops and too demanding for facilities without metallurgical expertise.
