Machine Shop
We manufacture many of the items from bar stock on modern CNC and computerized machinery. Tolerances are held as low as .00003 for many of the critical dimensions. In addition to CNC, Hardinge, and Fadel equipment, we also have Barber-Colman gear cutters, hones, Bridgeport mills, and allen equipment.

Armature Room
Our armature room assembles the rotors, stators, magnet housing assemblies and many of the pre-assembly items needed by the Final Assembly Department.

PDQ Department
The PDQ Department is equiped just like the armature rooms and final assembly areas. They specialize in prototypes and small quantitiy deliveries. Design Engineering also uses this department for any necessary research and development.
