Our Machining Process

Advanced CNC equipment delivers tight tolerances, high production capacity, and consistent, repeatable parts.

01

CNC Shearing

Our mechanical power shear handles 1/4" thick material up to 10' long, with a programmable back gauge for accurate cuts to +/- 0.015" tolerances.

02

CNC Punching

Our CNC punch is accurate to 0.003", with a 30 RPM turret, holes up to 3.5", and sheets up to 50 x 196". For large runs of repeated shapes, it is much faster than laser cutting.

03

CNC Laser Cutting

Our CO2 laser cuts up to 3/4" mild steel, 3/8" stainless steel, and 5/16" aluminum, with axis speeds up to 4,724 IPM and +/- 0.0002" repeatability.

04

CNC Bending

Our CNC press brake offers up to 8-axis forming for complex parts with less handling, 138 tons of capacity, and highly repeatable accuracy for tight-tolerance work.

FAQs About Machining

Do you manufacture parts in-house?

Yes, we maintain an in-house parts department equipped with top-quality AMADA machinery. This allows us to control quality, reduce lead times, and ensure seamless integration into our fabrication processes.

What materials can you machine?

We work with a variety of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Our equipment is capable of handling different thicknesses and sizes to meet your project requirements.

How do you ensure precision and quality in your machining processes?

Our advanced CNC equipment, combined with experienced operators, ensures high precision and consistency. We adhere to strict quality control measures throughout the machining process to meet exact specifications.

How do your machining services integrate with fabrication?

Our in-house machining capabilities are fully integrated with our fabrication department. Moving parts straight from machining to assembly helps reduce lead times, minimize errors, and ensure each part fits perfectly into the final product.

Can you handle high-volume production runs?

Absolutely. Our efficient CNC punching and laser cutting systems are designed to handle large quantities of metal sheets with repeated shapes, making them ideal for high-volume production.

What are the advantages of using CNC machining over manual methods?

CNC machining offers greater precision, consistency, and efficiency compared to manual methods. It allows us to produce complex parts with tight tolerances and repeatable accuracy—ideal for both prototypes and high-volume production runs.

Do you offer prototyping or small-batch machining?

Yes, we support both prototyping and small-batch production. Our flexible machining capabilities allow us to create one-off parts or short runs with the same level of precision and attention to detail as large-scale jobs.
