CNC milling, programmed and proven in-house.
Ten vertical machining centers running prototype through production quantities, with milled features held to a standard ±.001 in and critical callouts to ±.0001 in where the print requires it.
Our milling department covers the full range of prismatic work: brackets, housings, manifolds, plates, fixtures and machined weldments. Small precision parts run on the Fadal VMC 15XT and the two Brother TC-R2A tapping centers, where fast tool changes matter more than envelope. Larger work goes to the Haas VF-6SS with 64 × 32 × 30 in travels. Two Brother Speedio R450 pallet changers carry the repeat production programs, so a released job comes back up without being re-proven from scratch.
Programming, fixturing and first-article inspection all happen under one roof in Gardena. That means a dimensional problem is diagnosed by the person who wrote the toolpath, not passed between vendors. Send a released CAD model with a drawing, a PDF print, or a dimensioned sketch — all three get programmed the same way.
Every job carries a documented setup sheet, in-process gaging at the machine, and a final inspection report against print datums before it ships. For aerospace and defense customers we supply first-article inspection to AS9102 format on request.

Print and model review
We read the drawing before quoting and flag anything that will fight the process — thin walls, unreachable radii, tolerance stacks that need a different datum scheme.

Programming and fixturing
Toolpaths and workholding designed together so the part is supported where it is being cut.

CNC Milling, answered plainly.
What is the largest part you can mill?
Our largest travels are 64 × 32 × 30 in on the Haas VF-6SS. Most production work runs inside 22 × 18 × 18 in.
Do you machine prototypes or only production runs?
Both. Single-piece prototypes and repeat production run on the same floor, under the same AS9100D quality system.
Can you hold ±.0001 in on a milled feature?
On selected critical features, yes — quoted feature by feature, with in-process control and CMM verification. Standard milled tolerance is ±.001 in.
5-Axis Machining
Five simultaneous 5-axis machining centers for impellers, contoured housings, brackets and any part where every additional setup is another chance to stack error.
View capability →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.
