Our machining facility was established with the sole purpose of providing our motion customers with value-added machining services that were not available in-house. These services couldn't be done by the typical machine shop due to the intricacies of this technology.

This capability has grown to include Engineering Design, System Integration and Assembly of products to custom specifications. We are especially proud of our own line of linear stages, ball slides and crossed roller tables based upon market feedback and customer input.

We began our shop in 1992 with the introduction of our first Bridgeport knee mill.  We tooled this machine for the purpose of modifying our hardened and precision ground linear shafting to customer specifications. This material is 62 - 65 Rc which most shops cannot machine since it is so far outside the typical hardness range. We, however, specialize in this material and have become very proficient. Our tooling department contains a variety of carbide type cutters and tooling designed to penetrate, drill, and tap this material.

This growth now includes:

• Over 20,000 square feet of machining space
• CNC 10 ft. Gantry w/120" travel
• CNC Vertical Machining Centers (6) with travel lengths up to 50”
• CNC Lathe with turning capabilitie up to 2” diameters
• Optical Laser Measuring equipment
• Manual Lathe for quick turn, short run orders
• Knee Mills (3) with 48” travel lengths
• Surface Grinders (2)
• Abrasive and Cold cut off equipment
• Chemical etching equipment
