CNC Precision Machining
Our Swiss-style CNC precision machining creates complex components with tolerances as tight as +/-0.0001". Using 30+ advanced machines, we produce 500,000+ parts monthly from materials including aluminum, stainless steel, and specialty plastics. Our ISO 9001-certified process includes first-article inspections and PPAP compliance for aerospace, medical, and defense industries.
Textile Pin Manufacturing
As America's oldest pin maker, we produce custom textile pins for carding, fiber opening, and recycling applications. Our carbon steel pins feature precision tapers and heat-treated hardness, available in diameters from 0.024" to 1.25" with specialized finishes including black oxide and plating for enhanced durability in demanding textile operations.
Knurled Components
Our cold-formed knurled pins provide secure press-fit assembly with straight, diamond, or helical patterns. Available in diameters 0.0625" to 0.325", these components offer superior fatigue resistance through work-hardening processes. Applications include medical devices, aerospace assemblies, and industrial machinery requiring vibration-resistant mechanical bonds.
Custom Pin Solutions
From prototype to production, we manufacture custom pins in aluminum, brass, and stainless steel with tolerances to +/-0.0005". Capabilities include pointed/non-pointed wire products, pinned assemblies, and special configurations for defense, electronics, and agricultural equipment applications requiring exact dimensional control.
Quality Assurance
Our ISO 9001-certified quality system includes in-process inspections, first-article reporting, and PPAP documentation. With micrometers at every workstation and NADCAP-accredited finishing vendors, we ensure compliance through order entry to shipping, maintaining 150 years of reputation for precision and reliability.
