Services
CNC Manufacturing
Our CNC manufacturing capabilities combine advanced programming with expert operation to produce complex components with tight tolerances. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, we deliver precise, repeatable results for oil and gas, mining, and agricultural industries. Quality control systems ensure dimensional accuracy meets or exceeds original equipment manufacturer specifications.
Compressor Restoration
Specializing in rotary screw compressor and air end refurbishment, we restore equipment to optimal performance using standardized quality procedures. Our engineers perform complete inspections, bearing replacements, and precision machining to factory specifications. Each rebuild includes documented process tracking from disassembly to final testing.
Field Machining
Providing portable machining solutions for large equipment in place, we minimize downtime through on-site crankshaft straightening, align boring, and surface repair. Our technicians bring precision tools directly to client facilities, maintaining tolerances within 0.0001 inches. Services include magnetic particle inspection and thermal spray coating capabilities.
Non-Destructive Testing
Our comprehensive NDT services detect subsurface flaws without compromising component integrity. Using magnetic particle, dye penetrant, and ultrasonic testing, we identify cracks and material inconsistencies in critical equipment. Advanced hardness testing and surface roughness analysis ensure components meet operational specifications before return to service.
Crankshaft Reconditioning
Expert crankshaft restoration includes straightening, polishing, and undercutting to restore worn or damaged components. We maintain strict tolerances during bearing replacement and journal remachining. Each reconditioned shaft undergoes runout inspection and magnetic particle testing to guarantee reliability in high-stress applications.
