KEY MACHINING CAPABILITIES UNDER ONE ROOF.
​Whether your product needs milling, turning, or any other CNC machining process, our expertise and equipment will manufacture it to your exact specifications. We have a variety of horizontal and vertical machining centers as well as CNC lathes for round components.
CNC HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER CELLDecreased customer lead time is a direct result of our world-class CNC horizontal machining center cell that produces high-quality parts at a swift rate.
Our horizontal machining center cell:

• Includes a 24-pallet system that requires no fixture preparation. Each pallet can hold up to four fixtures – this means we can run up to 96 different jobs at once.
• Replaces fixtures in just one to three minutes versus one to three hours when replacing fixtures manually. With this free time, we perform value-added tasks.

These benefits, through the use of our machining center cell, give us the flexibility to manufacture any volume and a high variety of components at a competitive cost – allowing us to quickly respond and adjust to customers’ needs.

Our experience in the coating industry gives us the ability to determine cost-effective processes, meet your exact specifications, and improve the performance of your parts.
Our team will work with you to determine your part’s coating requirements including non-stick, abrasion resistant, corrosion or rust resistant, dry lubricated, or food grade.
We coat parts from small manufacturing companies to major OEM’s including Case New Holland, Bobcat, Raymond Corporation, and Price Industries.
We apply high-performance specialty coatings including:

• Polyester Powder
• Teflon® and Xylan® (PTFE, PFA, FEP, ETFE)
• Halar® (ECTFE)
• Kynar® (PVDF)
• Rilsan® (nylon)
• FBE (fusion bond epoxy)

Design for Manufacturability is the engineering practice of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. The concept exists in almost all engineering disciplines but the implementation differs widely depending on the manufacturing technology. DFM describes the process of designing or engineering a product in order to facilitate the manufacturing process in order to reduce its manufacturing costs. DFM will allow potential problems to be fixed in the design phase, which is the least expensive place to address them. Other factors can affect the manufacturability, such as material, the form of the raw material, dimensional tolerances, and secondary processing such as finishing and machining.
