What Makes Our Manufacturing Process Different

Our manufacturing process is like no other machine shop. Production is our main priority and usually consists of high-mix, low volume bearings to maximize the process. No more having to wait for weeks to get a part you need! We have the tools and transportation you are looking for.  You can read about what makes our process different and how our quality beats other competitors below.  

It’s all in the details

It begins at the shop with our small, experienced team. We have the same capability as a more extensive shop with the same service requirements, except with quick in-house turnaround times. We specialize in services and projects with the right tools and equipment, but can also keep up with demands. From shipping parts in the safest way possible to backing up specified documents, our capabilities and limits are proven time and time again to give you the result you want. We have even been known to use vertical and horizontal integration, that other smaller shops cannot attain.

Integrated ERP Software Program

We track and manage orders using the ERP software program to serve you better. However,  not all machine shops may invest in this handy software since specific packages are sold separately and can be quite expensive. We integrated this solution in the shop to make the manufacturing process efficient and accurate with industry expertise. Being able to lead a project with reports helps us make fewer mistakes while finding solutions and transferring information systematically. We can also better manage finances and people with whom we work to create a better technology-based environment with the help of an ERP program. 

Four easy steps process (Job Management)  

The manufacturing process is divided into four easy steps, including: a quote, order entry, manufacturing, and shipping. These steps make it easy for you to obtain the correct materials. No need to worry about expensive pricing. Our quotes are reasonable and order entries are carefully gathered. Our extensive inventory of equipment helps make sure we can operate at high-speed while delivering promptly. Shipping is also made easy because we work with LTL freight lines and global logistics companies as we strive to go above and beyond. 

Start the manufacturing process today by receiving a quote with your request by emailing us at rfq@bsmachineshop.com. Next, we collect any purchase orders, move on to production and lastly, get it ready for shipping.

Parts to Bring to Our Shop

Are you familiar with knowing what our machine shop specializes in? We offer five primary services, including internal keyway cutting, milling, heat treating, sawing and turning. With this in mind, certain parts are considered best to bring in under our services and machine limitations. Read more about the different parts and why they are suited to fit our machines below.

Power Transmitting/Generation Components

Parts that need internal keyway cutting such as precise sizes are usually found in power transmitting components. Couplings are meant for transmitting drive torque and angular velocity. Hollow shafts are full of power and are meant to take on a torsional load. So since diameters vary, it is important that machine tooling and tapered bores are done correctly. Other parts include rotors, clutches and splined hubs.

Tool and Die Mold Making Industry Parts

The process of milling (cutting shapes into metal) is typically used in tool and die making industry pieces. Such molding parts include guide pins, steel and carbide punches, perforators, die set components and complete die sets. These parts may have defects such as holes, known axially symmetric shapes mistakes, slots or pockets in which our production/technology can fix.

Threaded Parts for Industrial Applications

External and internal thread parts repairs include bolts such as hex heads, screws such as socket sets, nuts, threads, grooves, bushings, connectors, gears, shafts and valves. In the case that mechanical properties such as steel need adjustment, heat treating is available.

Commercial Pump Parts

High-pressure pumps include casings, impellers, mechanical seals, bearings such as roller, ball or babbitt, connecting rods, pump valves and couplers. All of these parts support pumps and repairing of equipment is sometimes needed.

Oil and Plant Parts

Fabrications of these industrial parts are custom engineered. These include flapper valves for oil fire suppression systems, thickened line pipes, armada carriers, machine turbines, stop and control valves, dust collectors, tubular furnace product coils, riser connectors plus much more.

No matter the dimensions, prototypes or unique fabrications your part may need, your projects are our priority. Materials such as plastic, aluminum and different types of steel or metal parts are open to capacity specialties. CNC machinery allows for accuracy and customized capabilities by using our tool designs for your specific part operation.  Our team, at B & S Machine Shop, is prepared to handle any of your parts and service requirements!

2019 Trends In The Machine Industry

2019 TRENDS IN THE MACHINE INDUSTRY

With the progress of the economy returned over the past several years, the machine industry is working overtime to keep up with demand. Machine shops across the country not only have to stay on top of emerging innovative technology, but the expanding interests of customers. Trends in the machine industry change often and these are the year’s most requested.

Custom Aluminum Milling  

Nearly all materials with a hardness tolerable for CNC machining can be used in most manufacturing projects. Out of the materials commonly used (brass, steel alloys and plastics) aluminum has become the top choice and most requested material by engineers recently. The reason? It’s the most inexpensive CNC machining material and it is a pretty manageable material to machine. It is also durable, resilient, resists corrosion and can last a lifetime. All of these attributes make this aerospace-grade material a great option for a variety of parts and components.

Trends in Finishes

Choosing the appropriate finish for a part is just as important as picking the right material. Selecting a surface finish can have a great effect on a component’s function, appearance, chemical resistance, roughness and firmness. The as-machined finish has become one of the top requests of customers. It has proven to be the least expensive option and offers better precision in measurement tolerances. 

6-Axis Machinery

The development of 6-axis machinery has created a lot of excitement in the CNC industry. This type of machinery allows the worker to convert a raw metal bar into a completed part. It works by turning both ends of the fixture; eliminating the need for additional fixtures. By using this type of unique machinery, operators are seeing less stack-up errors and a better quality of finished parts and components. Customers can now request items with complex shapes and diameters thanks to the speed and intricate ability of 6-axis machinery.

CNC Lathe

A CNC lathe is a type of CNC machinery that can be used for a variety of production processes. A lathe allows the user to work on a variety of materials including wax such as machinable beeswax, paraffin, wood, plastics and metal.

Large Piece Milling

Milling from a single piece of material has its advantages over assembling many pieces, and engineers are using the advent of large piece milling to its fullest potential.

With the ever-evolving world of machinery, it’s important to follow the trends and needs of your customers. It shows you are on top of your game and ready-to-work on any requested projects. Our team at B&S manufacturing is ready to serve you with our top-notch level of customer service and products.
