Services
CNC Milling
Our 5-axis, 4-axis, and 3-axis CNC milling machines programmed with hyperMILL software deliver high-speed, accurate components. With capabilities up to 42,000 rpm, we handle complex geometries from customer 3D models while maintaining tight tolerances. This technology enables simultaneous machining across all axes for challenging aerospace and industrial parts.
CNC Turning
Multi-axis turn-mill machines and conventional lathes produce precision turned components with driven tooling capabilities. Using EDGECAM software, we program from CAD files to create complex parts in single cycles. This approach reduces secondary operations while maintaining dimensional accuracy for both small and medium-volume production runs.
Wire Erosion
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) and Spark Erosion (EDM) capabilities handle difficult-to-machine materials like tungsten carbide. Our Agie-Charmilles Cut 20P machine achieves tight tolerances on complex shapes unsuitable for conventional methods, supporting tooling production for demanding industrial applications.
Assembly
Custom jig, fixture, and special-purpose tooling assemblies are built in-house using precision-manufactured components. Combining in-house machining with subcontract fabrication, we deliver complete assembly solutions for electrical connectors and specialized industrial equipment with quality assurance throughout the process.
Surface Grinding
CNC and manual surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, and jig grinding facilities handle single and batch production. With Jones & Shipman equipment, we achieve fine finishes and precise dimensions on tooling and production components, maintaining accuracy to within 1/1000th of an inch for critical applications.
