On envelope figures

Travels are the machine builder's published figures. Usable part size is smaller and depends on how the part has to be held. Send your model and we will check it against the envelope.

Workholding

Fixturing and setup

The shop is standardized on Lang. Zero-point workholding is what makes short runs affordable here. Fixtures comes off and goes back on to a known position, so a repeat order does not pay for a fresh setup.

Metrology

Inspection equipment

There is no coordinate measuring machine here. Inspection is done by hand against a certified granite plate, with every instrument on a calibration schedule.

How inspection is documented

In house

Finishing and marking

  • In house

    Glass bead blasting

    Uniform matte finish done on site, so a cosmetic callout does not add a week of outside processing.

  • In house

    Part marking

    Part numbers, revisions and serial numbers applied here, to the marking callout on your drawing.

  • Local partners

    Anodize and powder coat

    Anodizing to MIL-A-8625 and powder coat through local finishers we use regularly, with expedited turnaround when a date demands it.
