A good machine business provides large CNC turning services, does repairs and rebuilds, and performs other needed services. However, an exceptional machine business can take on massive projects, due to decades of building both employee knowledge and the facility’s various capacities. A well-established New Bedford, Massachusetts machine company may also have ship-related experience. A mature machine company also has an efficiency level that results in a quick response time and in doing things correctly the first time.
The CNC Machining
An exceptional, well-established company would offer large CNC turning services. It would have an overhead lifting capacity of 100 tons, be able to create pieces weighing up to 44,000 lbs. and handle tight tolerances for parts both small and large. This is the kind of company that would satisfy many specialty manufacturers and companies in a wide variety of industries.
Custom Metal Fabrication
A well-equipped machine company would have complete build-to-print capabilities. In addition to precision machining, the company could blast, coat, paint, or do anything else needed for the job at hand. Thermal coatings offered for the extension of service life would include HVOF, wire ARC, and plasma spray.
Wire EDM Services
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) removes metal in a controlled manner by melting instead of by cutting. The process is incredibly accurate and leaves behind little waste.
Auxiliary Services
Naturally, any established machine shop will also perform grinding, heat treatment, sheet metal shaping, sand and bead blasting, and painting services.
