Does your production line require certain components that are complex or are intended for particularly sensitive operations? Your best bet is to crafts these parts through custom machined processes rather than traditional production.

We recommend regular shaft alignment as a preventative maintenance step to save you in costly repairs and production losses down the road. Consistent maintenance can go a long way toward preventing stoppages due to breakdowns and other issues.

Oxidization of parts edges during the manufacturing process can cause problems from fit to paint adherence. Our laser cutting process removes oxidization and puts a slight chamfer on the edge allowing for proper powder coasting or paint adherence.

Because it is an additive manufacturing process, selective laser sintering (SLS) utilizes layering as a roller places a new fresh powder on top of the bed and the laser steps are repeated as needed.

Time Machine: The oldest known tools are roughly 2.6 million years old. Found in 1969 in northern Kenya, they consist of fractured stones used for cutting, chipping and sawing. They’re crude but advanced, which indicates even earlier tools remain to be discovered.

Carbon dioxide lasers, neodymium lasers, and neodymium yttrium-aluminum-garnet lasers can all be used to weld materials together. The heat produced by the laser cutter is sufficient to melt metal.

We can quote a price on our machine shop services ranging from precision shaft straightening, to the creation of the multiple parts of a machine assembly. Our prices are competitive and we stand behind all of our services.

Our gear manufacturing services are a magnificent blend of science and technology and artisanship through meticulous attention to detail during every step of the gear making process.

The thickness of material that a laser can cut is determined by the laser's intensity. A laser’s power is measured by the energy emitted as laser light per second.

While the machinery in our shop can do a lot of cool things, all of it wouldn’t be possible without the discovery of the wheel. Although we may never know when exactly the wheel was invented, historians believe that it was around the year 3,500 BC.

The ability to cut narrow kerf widths is one of the benefits of laser cutting. Indeed, narrow kerf width cutting has the advantage of promoting efficiency in terms of part nesting. This yields a better result (especially in sheet metal work) and offers significant material savings.

Honing is used to give a high precision finish or surface to a metal, which can be extremely important for key industrial machinery parts. This is why the process is used on internal combustion engines, gears, and other precision parts of machinery.
