Heavy Machining Process
Heavy Machining is all about creating large complex parts to exact specifications. The tolerances imposed on these parts can be extremely miniscule, sometimes in the range of 0.001" or 0.0001". A minor variation or miscalculation could compromise a large machined part leading to significant rework costs. To minimize this risk we only use Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) machinery, some of which has been rebuilt or refurbished in our Machine Tools Division. And since we know them inside out, literally, we regularly test and perform routine maintenance and re-alignment as necessary to ensure they maintain their precision.
Of course, the machine is only as good as the operator and the information input into them. That's where our team's 30 years of industry experience comes into play. Add together our precision machinery and our operators' proficiency and you get the piece of mind that specifically what you need is exactly what you get.
We only utilize state-of-the-art 3D CAD/CAM software for design and production, with top of the line machinery such as large Horizontal and Vertical Boring Mills. We routinely machine a variety of materials including: cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum within a variety of forms including: cast, forged and fabricated components. Our extensive experience allows us to work with customers to provide material and machining options that may reduce lead times and overall component cost, and our extensive industry contacts provides us the ability to easily source forgings, castings and fabrications regularly used for machining.
Once completed, we supply the machined parts to customer preferences, from packaging and sending the parts direct, to providing a complete solution with full assembly and testing on-site.
