Precision Turning
2‑ and multi‑spindle turning centers with live tooling, sub‑spindle and bar feed for high volume and complex turned features.
Mill‑Turn & Hybrid
Complete mill‑turn cellular machining to reduce setups and improve concentric tolerances.
High‑Speed & Micro‑Machining
High RPM spindles and small‑tool strategies for micro features and fine finishes.
Materials
Aluminum, stainless, steels, copper/brass, titanium, plastics (POM, PEEK), and exotic alloys with specialized tooling.
Surface & Secondary Ops
Surface finishing, deburring, anodize prep, plating fixtures and post‑machine inspection.
Engineering, Fixturing & DFM for Machining
We review parts for machinability, define clamping and fixture strategies, propose feature simplifications and recommend run‑to‑tool strategies to minimize cost. Early DFM reduces cycle time, tool wear and secondary operations.
Common DFM recommendations
- Consolidate features into fewer setups using multi‑axis machining when possible
- Specify fillets where possible — tiny internal radii multiply tool time
- Design datums for stable fixturing and add sacrificial zones for threaded holes
- Avoid excessive thin walls — add ribs or increase thickness for rigidity
Automation, Robotics & Digital Manufacturing
We design automation into production solutions: robotic load/unload, vision alignment, automated inspection, palletized quick‑change systems and MES integration. Digital manufacturing tools (MES, SPC, OEE dashboards) provide traceability, per‑unit records and predictive maintenance triggers for tooling and equipment.
Typical integrations
- Robot cells with vision guided part placement and torque/force feedback
- Automated test fixtures for ICT/FCT and burn‑in racks
- MES connectivity for serialized traceability and lot reporting
Tolerances, Surface Finish & Materials Guidance
Tolerances depend on feature, material and process. We provide achievable tolerance bands after review and will produce capability studies for critical dims.
| Feature | Typical Tolerance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| General dimensions | ±0.05 mm (±0.002″) | Common shop tolerance for non‑critical features |
| Precision features | ±0.005 — ±0.02 mm | Requires optimized tooling, thermostable fixturing & CMM verification |
| Surface finish | Ra 0.4 — 3.2 µm | Achievable via cutting parameters and finishing passes |
Metrology & Quality Assurance
We integrate in‑process inspection and final verification with CMM, optical scanning and contact gauging. Capability studies (Cp/Cpk) are performed during pilot runs and sample production.
Available metrology
- Bridge & portable CMMs, tactile & scanning probes
- Optical 3D scanning for freeform geometry
- Surface roughness, hardness, and microsectioning for material verification
Quality processes
- Incoming material inspection with MTR linkage
- First article inspection (FAI), PPAP packages for production release
- SPC dashboards and per‑lot inspection reports
Scaling to Volume — Automation & Cell Design
For higher volumes we design palletized fixtures, robotic load/unload, bar feeder turning and multi‑spindle cells to reduce per‑part cost and ensure repeatability. Lights‑out cells allow overnight production and optimized utilization.
Cell features
- Quick‑change pallets and kinematic locators for repeatability
- Robot integration with vision and force sensors for reliable handoffs
- Bar‑feed and multi‑spindle turning for continuous high throughput
Materials & Cutting Tool Strategies
Tooling strategy is matched to material: coated carbide for steels and stainless, PCD/PCBN for high‑volume aluminium or abrasive composites, special coolants for titanium and nickel alloys, and optimized feed/speed for plastics to avoid melting.

Capacity, Lead Times & Scalability
Lead times vary by process, complexity and tooling. Rapid prototypes can be delivered in days; prototype tooling 1–4 weeks; production tooling 6–20+ weeks. We scale using automated lines, multi‑shift operations and partner networks to meet high volume demands while maintaining quality.
| Process | Typical Lead Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Prototypes (3D / CNC) | Days – 2 weeks | Quick form/fit validation |
| Prototype tooling (aluminum) | 1–4 weeks | Low shot life for validation |
| Production tooling (molds/dies) | 6–20+ weeks | Depends on complexity & heat treat |
| Electronics build & test | 4–12 weeks (NPI) | PCB lead time critical path |

Frequently Asked Questions
What file formats do you accept for quoting and CAM?
How do you minimize thermal distortion for tight datums?
Can you machine very small parts or micro features?
Yes — we have micro‑machining capabilities (small tool diameters, high RPM) and specialized fixturing to handle small, delicate parts.
Do you handle material procurement and MTRs?
Yes — we procure material per spec and provide Material Test Reports (MTR) and lot traceability as required for regulated industries.
How do you minimize thermal distortion for tight datums?
We use stress‑relief, chilled fixtures, balanced machining strategies, and in‑process probing to control thermal effects and maintain datums within tolerance.
