K&S Machining offers Louisiana companies that need CNC machining services with precision quality with fast turnaround times. With modern equipment and highly experienced technicians, K&S delivers reliable results when you need them. Our facility includes several high-end machines, including lathes, mills, and routers. These machines can work with materials such as carbon steel alloys, brass, aluminum, plastic, and more.
While we often work in defense and aerospace, our experience extends to oil and gas, as the Louisiana region’s oil industry is still growing. Our oil and gas customers specifically benefit from our ability to manufacture cylindrical parts with tight tolerances. Reach out to our team today to learn more about how we can help with your next project.
Quality with a Quick Turnaround Across Diverse Industries
Louisiana’s industrial landscape is extremely diverse, but our experience working with multiple industries like oil and gas, aerospace, defense, and energy ensures quality results from production runs. We maintain an ISO compliant quality assurance program alongside state-of-the-art machines to prevent errors when possible and correct them quickly when they do occur. All of this happens long before your prototype or production parts are delivered.
Cylindrical Parts for Louisiana Petroleum Refineries
The oil and gas industry often needs cylindrical parts that maintain extremely tight tolerances, like certain valves and connectors. We already had experience with this concept working in the aerospace industry, manufacturing cylindrical parts like landing gear components, and that experience translated well to oil and gas. Our machines can meet tolerance limits as small as 0.002 inches to 0.001 inches. Our equipment can handle larger cylindrical components thanks to our state-of-the-art CNC router.
CNC Machining Design and Prototyping Services
Staying competitive in Louisiana means being able to put together a useful prototype quickly. K&S Machining offers design and consulting services in addition to prototyping, so our experts can help you every step of the way. While we can thoroughly review any drawings you provide to determine machinability, we will also recommend changes if we see any room for design improvements. Our team will work closely with your own to ensure that any prototype you need offers the end-use function you had in mind while reducing the cost of machining itself as much as possible without sacrificing quality.
Our large array of machines offers opportunities for a wide range of production runs. We have 4-axis CNC turning centers, five CNC milling centers, and a ShopSabre PRO 408 router with a large work envelope and a vacuum bed big enough to accommodate full-size plates. We have been using these machines and our experienced technicians to serve Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers in the defense and aerospace industries for years.
Industries Requiring Precision Machining in Louisiana
Louisiana is becoming increasingly more competitive for producers in the aerospace and defense sectors, alongside process industries like oil and gas. Defense is particularly lucrative, consisting of nearly $10 billion in annual economic impact. The aerospace industry is still growing today, as a staple of the local economy since NASA’s early Apollo missions. National defense spending is only increasing, so there’s still room for the industry to grow throughout the state. That means aerospace companies in Louisiana need complex parts that can withstand the harsh conditions of space, including radiation and extreme temperatures.
K&S Machining has experience with machinable aerospace parts such as the following:
- Landing gear components
- Valve components
- Wing ribs
- Motion controls
- Actuators
- Filter bodies
- Engine housings
- Shafts
- Oxygen generation components
- Fuselage components
K&S Machining can provide the precision and accuracy necessary to stay competitive in Louisiana’s industrial landscape. We offer a personalized service to carry out production runs that align with your business goals and production processes. Quality and reliability are the cornerstone of any manufacturing process, and we work to integrate seamlessly into your already existing production line. Our commitment to accuracy and precision is integral given the state’s defense and aerospace industries, where deviations of 0.004 inches could be the difference between a plane landing safely or not. These tight tolerances are essential for parts such as flight control systems and landing gear.
