Services
CNC Machining
Our computer numerical control machining utilizes Mori Seiki centers with live tooling to produce complex parts with tight tolerances. This technology enables multi-axis operations in single setups, reducing production time while maintaining dimensional accuracy. Ideal for industries requiring repeatable precision in oil field components, aerospace parts, and medical devices.
Production Runs
Specializing in high-volume production of small parts (3/8" to 4.5" diameter), our optimized workflow handles large quantity orders efficiently. With Mori Seiki equipment and Mastercam programming, we maintain consistent quality across thousands of units while minimizing per-piece costs for automotive, industrial, and energy sector clients.
JIT Manufacturing
Just-In-Time manufacturing solutions reduce inventory costs through scheduled deliveries of machined components. Our system synchronizes production with client demand cycles, maintaining optimal stock levels while ensuring on-time delivery of precision parts for continuous manufacturing operations in automotive and industrial sectors.
Material Machining
We work with diverse materials including aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and engineering plastics. Our capabilities span metals and polymers like PEEK, Delrin, and nylon, supporting applications requiring corrosion resistance, thermal stability, or lightweight durability across aerospace, chemical processing, and medical industries.
CAD/CAM Programming
Mastercam CAD/CAM software integration enables virtual toolpath simulation before machining. This digital approach optimizes tooling paths, reduces setup times, and prevents errors through 3D modeling verification. Supports complex geometry creation while maintaining tight tolerances for prototype development and production runs.
