Turn-Key Product Design & Development 
 

Let us work with you to define your requirements.  We can engineer, design, prototype and manufacture your special machine or consumer product prototype.  Because we are small and "hands on", but with full capabilities in house, development can be done under strict confidentially.  We have produced equipment and products for Fortune 500 companies, but due to our confidentiality agreements, their names cannot be revealed.

CNC Milling
 

With 3 and 4 axis capabilities, we are able to select the most cost effective production method.  Our innovative fixturing and workholding methods and in-house fixture design & manufacture get your parts into production quickly.  With a variety of software available, we can select the most suitable system to generate optimum toolpaths.  Finished parts that weight five ounces, that were machined from a five pound block of aluminum, are routine.  Mold cores and cavities, cure plates, and other multi-surface 3-axis contoured parts are also accommodated with our wide range of capabilities and experience.

CNC Turning
   

Our largest lathe, with 15.5" 3 jaw chuck, or 4.50" collet chuck, allows us to turn larger and longer parts than most shops.  With "Devibrator" boring bars up to 2" in diameters, deep bores to 10x diameter are possible.  We routinely machine Inconel, beryllium copper, stainless steel and other exotic alloys used in oilfield and aerospace applications.

Wire EDM

Our Charmilles 310 wire EDM allows us to work with exceptionally tall parts, as well as those with extreme tapers.  Custom machine modifications allow us to cut parts up to 108" long.  Precision thin parts can be stacked for cost effective production rates.  Where many shops do not like to EDM aluminum, we have a special filtration system that catches the large volume of particulates that would clog standard EDM filtration systems.  For more info on our problem solving abilities, click here.

Abrasive Water Jet Cutting

Consider AWJ for profiling parts from almost almost any material, from metals to plastics, laminates, tile, glass, rubber or any other requirement.  With no heat affected zone as with laser, plasma, or torch, parts can be cut as close as +/- .005" with a finished perimeter.  For stripper plates and similar parts, AWJ can be 5-10 times as fast as wire EDM.  With virtually no setup or tooling, parts can be produced with very short lead times.  Your CAD drawing can be converted to a machine program in minutes, at very low cost.  Many parts that are thought of as "machined" parts can be profiled using AWJ to save material, and get a head start on additional machining operations.

Dimension and Equipment Capabilities

Our facilities list defines the work envelopes for our equipment, but in many instances, larger parts can be accommodated.  The degree of precision is dependent on many variables, but we commonly work with tolerances of +/- .005" to +/- .0005".
