CNC turning

We currently have eleven CNC lathes and six manual lathes. We use the CNC's for practically all production runs. They can run bars from 0 to 2.375" diameter through their spindles and up to 8" diameter using a chuck.

Four of our lathes have sub-spindles and "live tool" capability. They are used to efficiently finish many parts in a single operation.

 

"Swiss" turning

Many parts are more effectively produced on our three swiss type lathes. These machines:

always support the bar close to the cut (about 1/8")

run up to 10,000 RPM for quick run times and excellent

surface finishes

change tools very fast

use "live" tools and an indexing spindle to machine parts

complete in one setup

Some very long, small diameter parts which are impractical to machine on conventional lathes, are easily machined with these. Our swiss type machines have bar capacities of 5/8".

 

Milling

We're now running four CNC machining centers and three manual mills. Two of the CNC's feature automatic tool changers, 4 axes, and 22" X 16" of travel. Our newest machining center has 32" X 20" travel, 4 axes, through-tool coolant, an automatic pallet changer, and an ATC with .2 second tool change time.

 

Grinding

We have, for more than 30 years, provided a high quality centerless grinding and honing service. We normally grind OD's up to 2.5" and hone ID's of 2" or less. We also provide cylindrical and double disc grinding. Our double disc grinder can quickly and easily grind both sides of most spacers and washers to within .0002" flatness and parallelism, 10 microinch finish, and .0003" of specified length.

 

Additional operations

Many of our customers rely on us to make finished products from bar stock. Some of those products are multiple part assemblies and most require multiple production steps to complete. As a result, we've developed various secondary machining, finishing, and assembly methods using all sorts of general shop tools, machines, designated jigs and fixtures, custom tooling, etc. We also have long standing relationships with top-notch suppliers for castings, heat treating, plating, black oxiding, and hard coating.

Quality Assurance

At the very heart of our operations, is our Quality Assurance system. We have been actively improving and documenting our quality procedures since 1989. We're currently working to gain ISO 9002 certification. All of our customers are welcome to audit and survey our quality system.

Upon request, all of our customers are able to monitor the variation of their parts by examining the statistical data and reports which are generated by our machinists and inspectors during production. Also upon request, we will submit quality planning instructions (Control Plans) to customers for each product that we make for them. The Control Plan outlines the overall production and inspection process that is used for a part. It also lists all control characteristics which will be monitored using SPC.

 

Summary

We have always taught and relied on solid, fundamental machining practices, and we specialize in performing production runs to exact specifications; but, some customers have relied on us to design, prototype, and then produce products based on their end function. Also, many times we have been called upon to produce parts which were uncommonly difficult to machine "to spec". We have, therefore, developed in-house drafting and tolerancing skills, and we have a long list of qualified engineers to call upon for assistance with production challenges.

We take pride in being a supplier with solutions, instead of a supplier with excuses. Working for a variety of customers for so many years (each having unique needs and expectations), we have learned to carefully ascertain our customers' product needs and relentlessly strive to meet those needs "the first time".

We also use designated gaging systems for individual jobs and calibrate those gages before each job run.

Employee owned inspection equipment

Each employee is required to own and maintain certain gages (depending on his job responsibilities). Everyone has their own calipers and most have digital micrometers. Our Company Policy requires that all gages used to measure deliverable products are subjected to periodic inspection/calibration procedures which are performed by qualified QA personnel.
