PRJProjects
Programs we were brought in to fix.
Each of these started as a component failing on cost, on schedule, or in the field at another supplier. The interesting part is rarely the machining — it is what the process was actually doing wrong.

PRJ-01 / 04Project index
Four programs, four different failure modes.
Distortion, contamination, joint count, and thermal movement. Every one was solved in process planning rather than in inspection.
PRJ-2024-112024
Geothermal turbine housings, requalified and reshored
Meridian Geothermal Group
A 22-week import lead time and recurring flatness rejections replaced with a single-source domestic route running at 9 weeks.
- 22 → 9 weeks
- Lead time
- 11.4% → 0.6%
- Flatness rejections
- −14%
- Landed cost
- Ongoing since 2024
- Program duration
PRJ-2023-042023
Bogie frame production line for a regional fleet program
Northline Rolling Stock
1,800 fatigue-rated bogie frames per year, with weld distortion engineered down 63% so machining removes stock instead of correcting shape.
- 1,800 frames
- Annual volume
- −63%
- Weld distortion
PRJ-2025-022025
Vacuum chamber assemblies at a nine-week revision cadence
Axiom Vacuum Systems
Clean-built chamber assemblies leak tested to 1 × 10⁻⁹ mbar·L/s, with three configurations running in parallel without cross-contamination.
- < 1 × 10⁻⁹ mbar·L/s
- Leak rate achieved
- 97.8%
- First-pass leak test
PRJ-2022-092022
Hydraulic manifold consolidation for a loader platform
Halbrook Equipment Works
Eleven fabricated and plumbed components consolidated into two machined manifolds, cutting part cost 42% and removing 26 leak paths per machine.
- −42%
- Part cost
- 26 per machine
- Leak paths removed
Every project on this page began with a nonconformance record.
When you send us a transferred program, send the reject history as well as the drawing. It tells us more about the real requirement than the tolerance block does.
RFQRequest for quotation
Send us the part that is giving you trouble.
A manufacturing engineer reviews every inquiry before it is costed. Send drawings or a model with your volume and delivery expectations, and you will have an acknowledgment within one business day.
