CNC Machining
Our advanced CNC machining capabilities include Okuma and Mighty Viper systems for high-speed, large-volume production. Cylindrical guide-ways and direct-drive spindles ensure accuracy up to 0.00001" tolerances. We handle complex geometries for automotive and industrial components.
Tool Design
We engineer specialized tools like the Arbor Runout Test Stand and Lyons Universal Chuck. Modular designs accommodate customer-specific requirements while maintaining ISO-certified quality standards for automotive gear inspection applications.
Inspection Equipment
Our inspection services utilize Brown & Sharpe CMMs, Keyence handheld scanners, and optical comparators. We maintain NIST-traceable calibration programs to guarantee dimensional accuracy across all manufactured components.
Fixture Manufacturing
Custom fixtures like the Rollover Tear Down System enable safe product evaluation. Modular designs support multiple orientations and operations, enhancing production efficiency while maintaining strict quality controls.
Prototype Development
Using AutoCAD, Inventor, and SolidWorks, we develop prototypes for automotive and industrial applications. Our engineering team validates designs through functional testing before full-scale production begins.
