Services
CNC Turning
Our CNC turning services produce high-precision components using advanced machinery like Doosan Puma lathes. Capable of handling diameters up to 20 inches with tight tolerances, we serve industries requiring complex rotational parts. Our process ensures consistency and efficiency for both prototyping and large-scale production.
CNC Milling
We offer CNC milling for intricate parts with multi-axis capabilities using Haas and YCM machines. Our 12 CNC machining centers handle complex geometries with X-axis travel up to 122 inches. This service supports aerospace, medical, and industrial clients needing high-accuracy components with rapid turnaround times.
Wire EDM
Our Wire EDM services cut complex shapes in conductive materials with sub-micron precision. Using a Fanuc Alpha machine, we achieve tight tolerances for hardened steel and exotic alloys. This non-contact process is ideal for dies, molds, and precision components requiring thermal stability.
Laser Engraving
We provide fiber laser engraving for permanent, high-contrast markings on metals. Our Tykma Zetalase systems handle serial numbers, logos, and data matrix codes with 20-watt power output. This service ensures traceability and branding for parts in aerospace, medical, and industrial applications.
Hardface Welding
Our hardface welding applies wear-resistant coatings using Miller Dynasty and Everlast welders. This process extends component life in abrasive environments for industries like oil & gas and heavy machinery. We specialize in TIG, MIG, and plasma transfer arc (PTA) welding techniques.
