Keeper Plates for Stainless Steel Plant
We partnered with a stainless steel plant to manufacture keeper plates built for durability and performance in a demanding production environment. Scope of Work: Machining keeper plates from solid burnout material Precision milling to achieve required dimensions and tolerances Preparation and fit-up for welded components Welding of cylinder mounts to each plate Final inspection to […]
UHMW Wear Blocks
A customer came to us with UHMW wear blocks that were no longer available—no OEM drawings and no reliable sample to reference. Just a worn part and assembly prints. We stepped in to rebuild the part from the ground up and deliver a repeatable solution. Scope of Work: Reverse engineered obsolete UHMW wear blocks using […]
Custom Locking Brackets
This project began with customer-provided drawings and finished with production-ready components. Our team managed the entire process in-house—combining fabrication and precision machining on our horizontal line boring machine, followed by sandblasting and powder coating. The result: durable locking brackets built to perform in demanding manufacturing environments. Click Now to Explore Fabrication Capabilities Meet Lance Allen: […]
Custom Tooling Fixture Boosts Multi-Size Machining Efficiency
For this project, our team was tasked with building a custom tooling fixture to support high-mix production on a horizontal machining center. Working from the customer’s design package, we reviewed part geometry, tolerances, and machining requirements to develop a fixture that would maximize rigidity, repeatability, and ease of changeover. The finished fixture was engineered to […]
Ejector Plate Repair Using Liquid Nitrogen
This ejector plate came from a high-volume injection molding machine that had been in service for many years. Over time, the guide rod bores wore beyond functional limits, threatening production uptime. Rather than replace the unit, our engineering and machining teams designed a cost-effective repair solution that restored the equipment to full performance. Key project […]
Custom Machined Stamps
These custom stamp sets are built to match the customer’s exact application.We began by cutting A2 tool steel flat bar to length, then moved to our Mazak Vertical Mill, where both the male and female stamps are precision-machined to create a matching set. The Mazak offers exceptional accuracy, repeatability, and efficient chip removal, making it […]
Idler Arm Boring & Bushing Replacement
For this project, our team was tasked with boring out idler arms to allow for the installation of new rear bushings. This machining process required a high level of accuracy to ensure proper fitment and long-term performance. We utilized our CNC Horizontal Mill, which is specifically designed for operations such as drilling, tapping, milling, and […]
