Machining
Large machining
Our Okuma mill is one of only a few in the state of Wisconsin. The large envelope can do five-sided milling on parts up to 149″ x 76″ x 39″ high. Almost no job is too big for this mill.
Gantry Mill – Okuma MCM-B-25E
Our gantry mill allows us to machine more robust products with its large work envelope. With five-sided machining capability and a 50-tool magazine capacity, the gantry mill gives us the ability to better serve industry’s heavier equipment needs.
- Single-spindle five-sided machining capability with 5-degree indexing
- 192″ (X) x 96″ (Y) x 31″ (Z) x 39″ (W) vertical work envelope
- 163″ (X) x 96″ (Y) x 31″ (Z) x 39″ (W) horizontal work envelope
- Two 149″ x 76″ tables with automatic pallet changer
- 50-position tool changer
- 30 HP motor
- Spindle probing for part setup and inspection
High volume machining
We utilize our Fastems Flexible Manufacturing System for the high-volume and high-machine time parts our customers require. Each of our 48 pallets can fixture parts on four sides. We can really reduce costs on your high-volume or very complicated parts. Are you importing from China? Send us your parts and we’ll build them domestically!
Flexible manufacturing system (FMS)
Our flexible manufacturing system is equipped with 2 Okuma MA-50 Horizontal Machining Centers and a 48-pallet storage and shuttle system. The system gives us the ability to run 24 hours, 7 days a week with night and weekends operator-free.
- Fastems 48-pallet storage and shuttle system
- Two load stations capable of running 24/7 “lights-out”
- Two Okuma MA-50HB horizontal machining centers with:
- 27″ (X) x 31″ (Y) x 27″ (Z) work envelopes
- 500mm x 500mm pallet changers with 1-degree indexing
- 12,000 RPM, 27 HP motors
- 200-position tool changers each
- Probing for tool setting and tool breakage detection
Short-run & prototype machining
Our machine shop offers several CNC and manual milling and turning machines. We utilize our home-built CNC online software to deliver the right program to the right machine. Our core business is running short-run, quick-turnaround, and prototype machining. We can work with your engineers to develop the prototype parts you need.
