Available Precision Machining Processes

  • CNC Turning: High-precision manufacturing for shafts, discs, and threaded components, maintaining tight tolerances within $\pm 0.01\text{ mm}$.

  • CNC Milling: 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining for complex cavities, structural plates, mounting brackets, and custom enclosures.

  • Laser Cutting & Bending: High-speed sheet metal blanking, complex profiling, and precision bending for structural fabrications.

  • Grinding & Wire EDM: Surface/cylindrical grinding for tight-flatness mating surfaces; wire EDM for intricate slots and keyways.

  • Surface Treatments & Post-Processing:

    • Protective Plating: Clear/yellow zinc plating, hot-dip galvanizing, hard chrome plating, and nickel plating.

    • Coating & Finish: Black oxide treatment, powder coating, and abrasive sandblasting.

    • Heat Treatment: Carburizing and surface quenching to dramatically enhance surface hardness while retaining core toughness.
