CNC Precision Milling Services

CNC Precision Milling Services

We operate multi-axis CNC Milling machines to accomplish precise, high-speed milling, drilling, tapping and turning.  Our machinists take advantage of CAD/CAM software to visualize the finished part during design and to program the milling machine how the part will be machined to ensure part quality and accuracy.

Precision CNC Milling Machines

  • Use computer controlled accuracy to achieve consistancy of even the most complex parts throughout a production run
  • 5 axis milling allows us to keep costs low to our customers by reducing the number of operations required
  • Offer manufacturing repeatability of precision parts for low to high volume runs
  • Handle a variety of materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics and other materials

 

Our experienced CNC machinists understand manufacturing and the pressures our customers face to keep their inventories down while increasing productivity. Whether the job calls for being flexible on design changes, adapting to specific production needs, or anticipating inventory fluctuations, we work in close partnership with every customer to achieve quality and precision at a competitive price.

We look forward to hearing from you, contact us today about our CNC machining services!

Swiss Machining Services

Swiss Machining Services

Multi-axis, multi-process Swiss machining allows us to serve a market for machined products where complicated parts require complex tolerances, multiple operations all in one set-up. Our customers see the benefits of the Swiss machines in faster turnaround times, lower job costs and superior quality parts.

Multi-axis

Complex CNC precision parts are completed in their entirety in a single operation on our Swiss multi-axis machines. This increases productivity while reducing potential for damage through multiple operations and potential loss of parts.

Multi-process

Our Swiss machines perform production CNC machining operations such as milling, drilling, boring and tapping. This results in a substantial reduction of the aggregate time required to machine the part and an increase in accuracy and repeatability.

Quick Setup Time

Quick setup times mean reduced setup costs and faster job turnaround. Short-notice orders can be easily accommodated.

Chip Evacuation

High pressure coolant systems allow the evacuation of tough stringy chips that otherwise interfere with operations. This boosts machine productivity and adds to the superior quality of the finished part.

Bar Feeders

Magazine bar loaders for 12’ bars are on all our Swiss machines. This automatic bar feeder capability increases the efficiency and cost savings of part runs.

Capacities

Our Swiss machine bar stock capacity ranges from .125 to 1.250” diameter.

Production Runs

Our Swiss Machining manufactures production CNC Machining runs of complex precision parts with uniform high quality from 250 pieces and up.

Our CNC staff would be happy to answer your Swiss machining questions. Contact us today!
