Defense subsystem hardware, machined and documented in one place.
Turned-and-milled housings, mounting hardware and subsystem components for defense customers, with laser marking, coordinated finishing and a single documentation package per shipment.
Defense hardware is often a mix of disciplines on a single part: a turned body, a milled flat with a bolt pattern, a tapped port, a serialized data plate or laser-marked identifier, and a plated or chemical-film finish before it ships. Splitting that across three vendors is where schedules erode. We run turning, milling, tapping, laser marking and coordination of outside finishing under one roof, on one purchase order.
Machines with Y-axis and sub-spindle capability — the DMG MORI NLX series in particular — turn, mill and finish a chucked housing in a single setup rather than re-chucking for the back side, which matters when a print calls out a positional relationship between a bore on one face and a bolt pattern on the other.
Where a program calls for UID marking, serialization or data-matrix codes, two OMTech Galvo laser marking systems apply permanent marks in-house rather than sending parts out for a marking-only operation.

Standard turned diameters to ±.0005 in and milled features to ±.001 in, with critical geometric relationships between turned and milled features held by running both operations in the same setup wherever the part geometry allows it.

CNC Turning
Eight turning centers, several with Y-axis and sub-spindle, so a chucked part is turned, milled, drilled and finished on the back side without leaving the machine.
View capability →Inspection & Metrology
A climate-controlled inspection lab with a ZEISS ACCURA CMM, a Mitutoyo Crysta-Apex EX, four Keyence IM image dimension systems and a fully calibrated gage library.
View capability →Secondary Operations
Tapping, drilling, grinding, deburring, assembly and laser marking in-house, with anodize, passivation, plating, heat treat and NDT coordinated through approved sources.
View capability →Turned-and-milled alloy housing with outside processing managed in-house
A housing requiring turning, Y-axis milling, tapped features, laser marking and a plated finish — previously split across three vendors, with schedule slipping at every handoff.

Defense Machining, answered plainly.
Can you handle a part that needs turning, milling and marking?
Yes — turning, Y-axis milling and laser marking run under one roof, so a multi-operation part ships under a single traveler and one certificate of conformance.
Do you support ITAR-relevant customers?
We do not publish an ITAR registration claim here; contact us directly to discuss your program's specific compliance requirements.
Can you apply UID or serialized marking?
Yes, on two OMTech Galvo laser marking systems, including sequential serialization and data matrix codes.
What documentation ships with a defense order?
Certificate of conformance and material certifications as standard, with AS9102 first article reports and special process certifications available on request.
Aerospace Machining
Structural brackets, fittings, manifolds and contoured housings machined under an AS9100D quality system, with first-article inspection and material traceability on every release.
Medical Device Machining
Swiss-turned shafts, bone screws, connector bodies and milled instrument components, machined to tight diametral tolerance with full lot traceability.
Oil & Gas Machining
