Among CNC Machine Shops, we
separate ourselves are the Machine Shop for very close
tolerance work. For example, we decline automotive work
or any work that does not need a high degree of accuracy and quality!
High degree of accuracy is a generic term of course. Generally,
we seek work in the .00010” ( .00254mm ) to .005”
( .127mm ) range. Occasionally, we had to produce components
(for satellites) which needed accuracies of .00002"
( .000508mm ). It is possible but quite difficult. We cannot promise
twenty millionths accuracy for all but it is something we are
a bit familiar with.
Accurate room temperature control
is essential for all forms of ultra precision machining.
That is why our entire EDM department is in a separate area within
inside our facility. It has separate heating and cooling systems
and the room is maintained on a slightly positive air pressure.
This allows us to maintain a very accurate temperature and humidity
control.
We offer tolerances as close as ½ micron
( .00002" ) (and have customer measured data to prove it!).
We had performed this ½ micron tolerance work
after being challenged to do so by a manufacturer of fiber optic
cables.
