CAPABILITIES

To ensure technological advancement, all equipment is upgraded on a regular basis, leaving nothing older than ten years. All equipment is networked to a central CAD/CAM system for efficient programming, using solid models or blueprints, and verified using 3-D rendering before machining. Continuous maintenance support from our CAD/CAM manufacturers provides automatic software upgrades.

CAD/CAM SYSTEMS

CAD/CAM system for programming is available at each machine on laptops. Each computer is connected to the central server with wireless uploading capabilities of programs to the machines on the fly. Design and program changes can be incorporated instantly

MAZAK TURNING CENTERS

Our five Mazak Turning centers are capable of holding dimensions within 0.0001” continuously throughout the production run, eliminating the need for grinding on most applications. These are equipped with bar feeders, tool touch probes, and automatic tool life management.

HAAS MILLING CENTERS

Our 10 HAAS milling centers, ranging from DT-1 to VF2SS to VF3SS, are equipped with tool touch and spindle probes to facilitate accuracy and speed. We are able to probe parts 100% for machining accuracy and inspection.

MICRO VUE AUTOMATION

Our Micro-Vu fully automated CMM for optical and probe inspection allows for the capability of inspecting first articles and final and in-process inspections within a matter of seconds. The simplicity and efficiency of keeping a part on the CMM table and running the part program to retrieve the inspection results provides our customers with the best possible value.

QUALITY CONTROL MANAGEMENT

DOCUMENT CONTROL

Inspection travelers and prints, along with the necessary information, are available through iPad portals at our production and quality stations for machine operators and quality assurance personnel. Documents are available live at all stations from our ERP Server, eliminating the need for document control.

PRODUCTION-RUN DIMENSION CONTROL

Production tolerances are always set from 60% to 70% of the print tolerances to ensure the parts are as close to nominal dimensions as possible throughout the whole production lot. Each part is inspected by operators under 4-10X magnification as part of the manufacturing process.

ADDITIONAL QUALITY ASSURANCE

Our routine quality assurance process includes inspection of cosmetics, finishes, and packaging of the parts. We can meet or exceed MIL-I-45208 system compliance.
