Services
CNC Machining Centers
Our CNC machining centers handle complex geometries with 4-axis capabilities and tight tolerances. Using Mazak and Dynapath systems, we produce components up to 67" in travel length. This service supports aerospace, automotive, and industrial equipment manufacturing with high-speed spindle options.
Wire EDM Services
AGIE Charmilles wire EDM systems create precise cuts in conductive materials with tapers up to 45 degrees. Capable of machining complex shapes in hardened metals without tooling stress. Ideal for dies, molds, and precision components requiring tight tolerances.
Welding Services
We offer TIG, MIG, and plasma welding for structural and precision applications. Our welding positioners ensure consistent quality in joining complex assemblies. Services include repair work, custom fabrications, and weldment assemblies for industrial machinery.
Inspection & Testing
Comprehensive material testing includes XRF composition analysis, Rockwell hardness testing, and dimensional verification. Our granite surface plates and digital measurement tools ensure compliance with ASME and ISO standards for critical components.
Manual Machining
Legacy manual mills and lathes support prototyping and low-volume runs. Equipment includes Lagun and Clark vertical mills with 30" x 14" table capacity. Suitable for one-off parts and legacy equipment repairs requiring conventional machining techniques.
