The Equipment and Mindset Behind Successful Production Machining
When you’re ready to enter production, delays in manufacturing can lead to delays in revenue. That’s why we prioritize both the technology and the adaptable mindset to help customers achieve efficiency at production machining volumes.
Recently, for instance, we partnered with a medical device customer on six different parts for a new product. This project began with prototype runs of about 50 pieces, soon ramped up to batches of 200, and then quickly grew to nearly 1,000 parts per month.
At Tool Technology, thanks to our dialed-in processes and our shop’s automation, we were able to scale seamlessly, ultimately running three machines virtually unattended for 20 hours each day. That level of adaptability is what enables us to take on your production machining with confidence.
What Parts Are Good Fits at Tool Tech?
Not every precision machine shop is built for scale, but we’ve organized our operations around production success. This requires both flexibility and efficiency, and those are two areas where Tool Tech excels.
We’ve developed strong relationships with vendors to ensure outside processes never become bottlenecks. Internally, our systems are well-refined and continually improving. We are an ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 certified machine shop, so our processes meet rigorous quality standards.
With this foundation, we can tackle a variety of work. Meeting the demanding standards of industries like aerospace and medical means we can handle repeat production challenges across a spectrum of sectors and part complexity. Any component that can be milled within a six-inch cube, especially in aluminum or stainless steel, is an ideal fit for our production capabilities.
The Equipment That Powers Production
Every successful production job is powered by a combination of our people, processes, and equipment. Our most recent ISO 9001 review found a 98% external quality rating, proving just how fine-tuned our shop is.
Some of the key equipment in our CNC machining services includes:
Automated machining cell: With four horizontal machines integrated with robotics for automated part handling, this cell maximizes unattended machining for the greatest possible efficiency. Each machine holds up to 300 tools, enabling complex jobs to run simultaneously.
Automated coordinate measuring machine (CMM): With our CMM, we can quickly inspect both completed parts and in-process parts, catching potential issues early. This prevents rework and keeps your manufacturing running smoothly.
Why Customers Choose Us for Production Machining
At Tool Technology, we know what matters most to our customers: fast delivery and reliable quality. To achieve that in production machining, you need a partner that not only has the equipment to support you, but the mindset and grit to scale with you and solve your manufacturing challenges.
That mindset influences everything we do at Tool Technology. If you’re searching for a partner to support your production machining, let’s talk. With advanced equipment, automation, and a ready-to-go mindset, Tool Technology is the partner you can trust.
