The decision to add a fourth S206 CNC screw machine was a no-brainer after seeing the impact that the first three have made.

Another sizeable investment has been made to ensure our quality control department remains on the cutting edge of technology.

This machine can inspect up to 100 dimensions on multiple parts in as little as 4 seconds.

Thanks to Kennett Systems Inc., we have upgraded our Jobtracker software. This is a custom-written application that provides central “real time” job status and communication to all departments within the shop. From machining through final shipment, this updated software package will continue to allow us to quickly and accurately give our customer’s order status information.

In order to better serve our customers in this demanding and competitive market, we have made the investment in a second Tsugami S206. Our second S206 has been outfitted with a magazine bar feed, parts accumulation table, and a fire prevention system to allow for “lights-out” machining. Un-manned machining for us equals big savings for…
