About
Overview
Our expert staff has well over 50 years of combined experience in the Precision Manufacturing Industry.
Our organization's programming team possesses the latest versions of Solidworks and Gibbs CAM software. In addition, we integrate CAMplete, a sophisticated program that scrutinizes for errors and simulates crashes in the program's code. In the event that an error is detected, CAMplete refrains from posting a program to the machine. Furthermore, we incorporate Probing Operations in pertinent programs to provide our machinists with the most advanced technique for precisely examining and authenticating parts during production. Our machines are equipped with Laser Tool Touch Offs, which cater to Ultra-Precision processes, such as Jig Grinding and Hardmill. Additionally, we use probes for part Pick Ups to ensure consistency, and pressure probes and lasers for Tool Touch Offs to augment accuracy.
