Wauseon Machine fabrication services provides an “easy button” procurement process for complex assemblies, in which experts manage the entire value chain, from cradle to grave. From receiving the order, to obtaining raw materials, to handling all necessary heat treating, coating, laser cutting, and stamping processes, Wauseon ensures that fabrication is completed to exacting specifications and that the highest quality product is delivered. Application engineers have years of experience taking large complex assemblies and breaking them down to their component parts. With specialized expertise in providing suggestions on cost avoidance and design for manufacturability, Wauseon experts can often suggest options that may eliminate an operation or use different coatings to improve a product.
High volume machining of complex precision parts poses many challenges. Standard CNC lathe and milling operations can result in high cycle times and labor costs and may not meet precision tolerances. Use of newer Swiss style machines allows operators to process all sides of the part in one operation, significantly lowering costs. These Swiss style machines are very compact compared to standard lathes; less time wasted going from tool to tool can also result in faster cycle times.
