Services
Multi-Axis Turning
Our multi-axis CNC machining utilizes Mazak HCN-6800 and FJV series machines to produce complex components from diverse materials. This technology enables simultaneous operations on multiple axes, achieving tight tolerances for aerospace and medical applications. The process combines speed with precision for high-quality production.
Swiss Turning
Swiss turning on Tsugami S206-II equipment creates high-volume precision parts with tight tolerances. This method ensures consistent quality for complex geometries in medical and defense components. Our capabilities include micro-machining and intricate feature production for critical applications.
Wire EDM
Wire EDM cutting with Sodick VL-600Q machines produces complex shapes through electrical discharge. This non-contact process maintains material integrity while achieving 0.0001" tolerances. Ideal for hardened metals and intricate aerospace components requiring precision.
Quality Control
Our quality control uses Zeiss Contura CMM and Hexagon 7-Axis Arm for dimensional verification. Statistical process control ensures consistency across production runs. We provide detailed inspection reports for AS9100-certified aerospace and defense contracts.
Prototyping
Prototyping services use Autodesk Inventor and MasterCAM software for design validation. We reverse engineer obsolete parts and develop new products through iterative testing. This process reduces time-to-market for clients in medical and industrial sectors.
