In-House vs. Coordinated

Some operations are completed in-house; others are managed through qualified partners under our quality system.

In-House

Completed On-Site

  • Deburring — Manual, vibratory, thermal and CNC deburring
  • Cleaning — Ultrasonic cleaning, solvent, drying & packaging
  • Basic Polishing — Surface preparation and finishing
  • Inspection — In-process and final quality checks
  • Threading — External & internal via live tooling
  • Knurling — Straight, diamond and custom patterns
  • Drilling & Cross-Drilling — Axial and radial holes
  • Slotting & Milling — Flats, slots and milled features
  • Marking — Laser, CNC, silk screen, etching, pad printing
Coordinated

Qualified Partners

  • Anodizing — Clear, black, color and hard anodizing
  • Plating — Zinc, nickel, chrome, gold, silver, tin
  • Powder Coating — 60–120μm, salt spray up to 1000h
  • Heat Treatment — Quenching, carburizing, nitriding
  • QPQ / Melonite — HV 500–700, salt spray 200h+
  • PVD / DLC Coating — Specialty surface coatings
  • Electropolishing — Stainless steel surface treatment
  • Passivation — Stainless steel corrosion enhancement
  • Black Oxide — Steel surface treatment
Threading

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which secondary operations can you do in-house?

Deburring, cleaning, basic polishing, threading, knurling, drilling, tapping, slotting, and all 5 marking methods (laser, CNC engraving, silk screen, etching, pad printing) are coordinated in-house. Anodizing, plating, coating and heat treatment are managed through qualified partners.

Can secondary operations be combined with primary machining?

Yes. With live tooling on our Swiss and turn-mill centers, many secondary operations like threading, knurling and cross-drilling are completed in the same setup as turning — improving feature-to-feature accuracy.

Can you provide laser engraving for part traceability?

Yes. Laser engraving is available for LOGO, serial numbers, date codes and traceability markings on both metal and plastic parts.

Do you offer ultrasonic cleaning?

Yes. Ultrasonic cleaning and drying are standard processes for parts that require contaminant-free delivery.

Can you handle custom packaging?

Yes. Standard packaging includes PE bags, bubble wrap, plastic trays and cartons. Custom packaging with individual compartments, anti-scratch protection, rust prevention and vacuum packaging is also available.
