Precision Machining
Precision Machining
Precision machining is essential for high-performance and demanding products and applications. Its tight tolerances and advanced manufacturing processes ensure components are reliable, fit properly, and the finished product meets design geometry.
LeanWerks, located in Ogden, Utah, provides the highest levels of precision CNC machining specializing in components and assemblies for a wide range of demanding industries, including aerospace, defense, nuclear, space, and industrial applications. If you’re in need of precision machining services, trust the experts at LeanWerks to engineer exacting CNC machining processes to reliably deliver the high-performing parts you need.
Advanced Precision Machining Capabilities
Precision machining plays a critical role in modern manufacturing. With its ability to create extremely tight tolerances and repeatable parts, it’s essential for aerospace components, hydraulic valves, industrial automation parts, energy and drilling equipment, and more.
Our advanced manufacturing capabilities allow us to machine:
- Aerospace structural, landing gear, engine, and control valve components
- Satellite and space components
- Hydraulic and high-pressure valve components
- Nuclear and energy industry components
- Automation and industrial equipment components
- Forgings and castings requiring precision machining
- Hardened material components machined after heat treatment
- Superalloys that many shops avoid
By combining advanced CNC machining equipment with strong process engineering and lean
manufacturing methods, LeanWerks reduces lead times, improves quality, and lowers total
manufacturing cost for our customers.
Our precision machining capabilities include:
CNC Milling
Our production facility integrates a full-service CNC machine shop equipped with some of the industry’s most capable multi-axis machining technology. Our CNC milling capabilities include:
- 3-axis CNC milling
- 4-axis CNC machining
- 5-axis CNC machining
- Complex aerospace components
- Precision machined housings and structural components
- Machining of titanium, stainless steel, aluminum, and specialty alloys like Inconel
- Tight tolerance machining
- Prototype and production machining
With our multi-axis machining capabilities, we can reduce setup time, improve accuracy, and manufacture complex parts with greater efficiency and repeatability than traditional machining methods.
Precision Turning
We also offer CNC turning for cylindrical or rotational parts, along with live tooling for additional milling operations during turning. Mill-turn machining allows multiple operations to be completed in a single setup, improving accuracy, reducing cycle time, and lowering manufacturing costs. With reduced machining time, we can get parts to you faster, eliminate waste, and make the manufacturing process more efficient overall.
Our CNC turning capabilities include:
- CNC turning with live tooling
- Mill-turn machining
- Hard turning
- Internal and external threading
- Grooving, facing, and boring
- Tight tolerance cylindrical components
- Prototype and production turning
Hard Material Machining
We have the capabilities to work with hardened metals and specialty alloys and have experience with forgings, castings, and high-strength materials. Machining materials after heat treatment rather than before ensures precise tolerances.
We frequently machine:
- Hardened steels after heat treatment
- Titanium aerospace alloys
- Stainless steels
- Nickel-based alloys such as Inconel
- Forgings and castings
- High-strength and high-temperature alloys
