CNC Machining Services in Alabama from K&S
Staying competitive in Alabama means offering something unique for your customers. K&S Machining provides a personalized service that captures your brand, letting you do what you do best with precision and accuracy. We serve Tier 1 and Tier 2 defense industry suppliers, so we understand the importance of quality and reliability. Think of us as an extension of your manufacturing operations, as we can integrate seamlessly into your processes. Our facility has three mill-turn lathes, which allow us to complete parts with intricate dimensions.
With 4-axis CNC turning centers, consistency and accuracy are easily achieved in projects of any scale. We additionally have five state-of-the-art CNC milling centers with the flexibility to solve unique precision machining problems. Our machines are three-axis in design and manufactured by top brands such as Samsung, Hyundai, and DN Solutions. For projects that don’t fit neatly into our lathes or mills, we use our CNC router. It’s a ShopSabre PRO 408, so it can accommodate large sizes and many varieties of materials thanks to its large work envelope and compatibility with steel, aluminum, plastic, and exotic materials like rhodium.
Prototyping Services that Give You an Edge
Having the right prototype can be the deciding factor in your company winning or losing a contract in the defense or oil and gas industry. Our machines can carry out a low-volume production run with a focus on precision and consistency for tight-tolerance parts. Getting your prototype ready for testing faster means a shorter period required to get your parts to market. Our services deliver prototypes fast, and our engineers can help identify design flaws and suggest improvements based on your desired end use.
Cylindrical parts are notoriously difficult to manufacture within extremely tight tolerance limits. Generally, tight tolerances only permit a variance of 0.002 inches to 0.001 inches, which can be difficult without the right equipment. Smaller pieces are suitable for our lathes and mills, while larger pieces begin in our CNC router, which has a 12” height capacity and 5’ x 8’ working area.
Alabama’s Rich History of Industry
K&S Machining is proud to contribute to Alabama’s industrial history with precision services for local manufacturers. In the 1870s, industrialization swept across the South thanks to the railroad expansion. Alabama quickly took advantage and became a regional leader in ironmaking, textiles, and rail. This massive shift made Alabama the most industrialized state in the region for its time, and that commitment to industry has lasted more than a century to the present day.
Alabama’s Strong Defense Industry Presence
Some of the largest defense companies in the world, like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing, have facilities in Alabama. At K&S Machining, our ITAR-registered services have been used by Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers for years. Radar tech has also been growing in Alabama, as an integral part of the defense industry, so we have adapted our precision CNC machines to handle the precise curvature and smoothness that relevant components require.
Oil and Gas in Alabama
K&S Machining serves the oil and gas industry in Alabama. The state is among the top 17 producers of oil and the top 16 producers of natural gas in the country. With services in Alabama, we know the needs of the oil and gas industry and the kind of parts and components necessary to take advantage of the state’s two sedimentary basins, rich with resources. Our three mill-turn lathes run in-house at our Madison, AL facility are essential for producing the smaller, tight-tolerance parts required for the oil and gas industry, like valves, connectors, and nozzles. Given how often they are exposed to harsh conditions like chemicals, high temperatures, and high pressure, we work with a range of materials, including aluminum, composite materials, plastics, and more.
