APM Precision Machining

Home/Capabilities

Capabilities

Fifteen machine tools in one building, plus a network of outside vendors we have run for years. Each capability has its own machines, its own tolerances and its own page.

Production machining

Blanket orders, stocked inventory, scheduled releases.

100 to 1,000 parts per release on multi-year programs. Two five-axis mills, a sub-spindle turning center and a shelf with your part number on it.

How a program runs

Beyond the walls

What we send out, and manage for you.

Nobody does everything in-house. The difference is whether you have to find the vendors yourself. We have run the same heat treaters, platers, EDM and fab shops for years; a part leaves here finished.

Heat treat & stress relief

Routine. We send it, we track it, it comes back into the job.

Finish grinding

In-house surface grinding; cylindrical and precision grinding through our partners.

EDM

Sinker, wire and hole-popper through shops we use every week.

Plating & coating

Anodize, nickel, black oxide, electropolish, paint and powder coat.

Sheet metal & large fab

Bigger than our shear and brake — we manage it through our fabrication partners.

Certified welding

When a weld needs a stamp, it goes to welders we have used for years. It still comes back here to be machined.

Equipment

Fifteen machine tools. Plus the rest.
