A manufacturer of machine tools contracted us to perform the milling required to finish this large base frame. The weldment was composed of steel, the areas to be milled had dimensions of 125.50″ in length, and 18.38″ in width. Utilizing our 96″ by 144″ DeVlieg boring mill, we performed the mill profile, windows, and slots, as well as hole drilling and tapping. This large precision capability allows us to satisfy the required .001″ tolerances, as called out in the ...
The aluminum frame assembly highlighted here was manufactured utilizing our precision machining and fabricating capabilities. Designed for use as a filter housing unit for a scientific application, it was composed of 7075 aluminum. This project represents a complete fabrication project, which included material sourcing as well as fabrication and assembly. The components were CNC milled to the customers supplied drawings, which called out flatness of .004″, as well as the application of a ...
A customer in the railroad industry was in need of a custom designed lathe that could accommodate the turning of components up to 43″ in diameter, 12″ high, and up to 1200 lbs. It also had to satisfy their run rate of 15, 36″ diameter parts per hour, to tolerances of ±005″. The entire system was custom designed from the customer’s concept and part prints, which included complete sets of prints and 2D engineering drawings. The finished machine, which measured ...
The CNC vertical lathe highlighted here is used to manufacture 28″ to 42″ railroad wheels from forged steel to tolerances of ±.005″. Replacing a machine of this size and complexity requires a large capital investment, this is why this customer came to us to perform a complete rebuild and retrofit. After a complete assessment of the machine’s condition and the customer requirements, we developed a course of action for the rebuild and retrofit. The machine was compl...
