Our Precision Machining and Fabrication Services

Integrated machining, fabrication, inspection, finishing, and automation support from concept through installation.

CNC Machining

Advanced CNC mills and lathes produce precision components up to 20,000 lbs, with tolerances ranging from +/-.005 to +/-.0005 for demanding industrial and regulated applications.

Metal Fabrication

Full-scope fabrication services support structural builds up to 20 tons, including specialty welding, assembly fixtures, weld tooling, and complete workflows from design to delivery.

Quality Inspection

Inspection services include first article reporting, CMM analysis, certified granite table verification, gauges, and documentation for aerospace, defense, and regulated manufacturing requirements.

Powder Coating

In-house paint and powder coating capabilities include blast preparation, liquid coatings, and durable thermoset finishes for corrosion, UV, abrasion, and specification-driven protection.

Plating Support

Industrial plating is coordinated through qualified partners and integrated into project workflows to achieve corrosion resistance, conductivity, wear performance, and required surface specifications.

Automation Integration

Turnkey robotic and automation systems include custom robotic welding units, assembly automation, system retrofits, full unit testing, on-site setup, and production validation.
