Home Capabilities Machining

Secondary machining support for critical interfaces, post-weld accuracy, and tight-fit features—available in-house or via qualified partners

Capability Highlights

Machining integrated into fabrication route to improve fit Post-weld machining options to ensure alignment and function Critical features controlled per drawing Process route optimized to reduce cost and unnecessary machining Inspection aligned with functional requirements

Standard vs Extended Capability

Standard: common secondary operations arranged to meet functional needs. Extended: tighter tolerance work or larger/complex machining can be supported on request, strictly per drawing.

Design Notes & DFM Tips

Identify “machining-critical” features and functional datums Avoid specifying very tight tolerances on non-functional surfaces Provide tolerance stack-up context for mating assemblies Define surface finish requirements only where needed Share assembly intent to choose the most cost-effective route

Quality & Inspection

Inspection per drawing requirements Reports available upon request (FAI/COC, etc.)

FAQ

Q: Do I always need machining? A: Often no—DFM can reduce or eliminate machining steps. Q: Is machining done in-house? A: Depending on requirement; we can also coordinate via partners. Q: Can you machine after welding? A: Yes—post-weld machining is commonly used for alignment. Q: Can you provide inspection reports? A: Available upon request.
