When you need to hire a machine shop in Louviers, CO, it’s important to work with someone you can trust to get the job done right the first time. Working with a local company makes this much more likely. But why?
Much like the aerospace industry, the medical industry has strict standards for precision machined parts. And while the AS9100 certification we possess here at Focused on Machining is specific to the aerospace industry, the processes we developed to maintain our status as an AS9100 machine shop enable us to meet the demands of the medical industry, as well.
In an attempt to save money, one of our OEM customers recently ordered 5 complex gear housings from an on-demand parts marketplace. They planned to have the parts shipped to Focused on Machining for assembly. There was just one problem: the housings we received from the budget marketplace arrived with serious quality and accuracy issues. The threaded holes hadn’t been deburred, and the press-fit holes were too small for the hardware.
Firearms users rely on picatinny rails to mount accessories like tactical lights, bipods, and laser sights—but these versatile mounting brackets aren’t only for guns! At Focused on Machining, we specialize in machining picatinny rails for major OEM firearms manufacturers. We love making these parts and want to share some of the other applications where we’ve seen them in use. Who knows, maybe you’ll come away from this blog with an idea for the next great picatinny rail product.
Remember when we shared that we were in the process of getting AS9100 certified? Well, we’re thrilled to announce that Focused on Machining is now officially an AS9100 machine shop!
Top Shops data indicates that only 45% of machine shops have quality certifications like ISO 9001 and AS9100, and we’re proud that our Denver machine shop is part of this elite group.
