Services
5-Axis Machining
Our 5-axis CNC milling machines deliver intricate precision for complex geometries. Capable of simultaneous multi-directional machining, these systems handle both small components and large-scale production. The advanced capabilities ensure tight tolerances and superior surface finishes for demanding applications across multiple industries.
Swiss Machining
The Tornos GT 32 Swiss-style lathe produces high-volume runs of parts up to 1-1/4" diameter. This technology enables efficient manufacturing of small, complex components with exceptional accuracy. Ideal for large production quantities requiring consistent quality and tight tolerances in various materials.
EDM Services
Our wire and hole drilling EDM systems specialize in machining hard metals difficult to process conventionally. The 0.010" wire EDM achieves precise cuts with up to 25 taper angles. The hole drilling EDM accommodates electrodes up to 3mm diameter for specialized applications requiring extreme material removal accuracy.
Quality Control
ZEISS Contura II CMM systems with Calypso software ensure uncompromising quality assurance. Our inspection processes verify dimensional accuracy and surface integrity across all production batches. This advanced metrology equipment maintains strict compliance with ISO 9001:2015 certification requirements for consistent quality control.
Multitasking Machining
Dual-spindle 5-axis multitasking lathes integrate turning and milling in single setups. Bar feeder capabilities enable continuous production of complex parts without secondary operations. This approach reduces lead times while maintaining exceptional precision for intricate component manufacturing.
