Chandler Industries, Inc.

Over the past decade Chandler Industries has developed one of the most unique and extensive machined tube & duct capabilities in the industry. Our thin-wall machining capability allow us to efficiently and effectively produce aluminum tubes and ducts from solid material. This process is 100% repeatable, allows designers infinite structural alternatives and eliminates the need for any Class-A welding, a process that typically has poor yield.

Chandler’s turret press capability is an excellent complement to our laser cutting systems for hole patterns that are more conducive to a punch and die configuration andor sheet metal that requires embossing or other forming while on the turret press that is not achievable with laser. Chandler Industries has an extensive standard and specialty tooling library that is likely to accommodate most customer requirements without the need for additional tooling investment.

With Chandler’s high speed laser capability, we can produce cost effective profiles from a variety of materials that create smooth contoured edges. This process allows infinite design flexibility at little or no tooling cost and requires virtually no deburring or other preparation prior to subsequent operations. Laser cutting can be an effective manufacturing method for prototype to high-volume production.

Chandler’s milling capability includes 3, 4, & 5-axis vertical and horizontal milling machines, some of which are coupled with robotic automation to improve efficiency and reduce cost on components with higher unit volumes. Our largest work envelope is 40” cubed with 5-axis.

Chandler turning capability includes conventional CNC lathes up to 12” in diameter for components or sub-components having lower complexity and multi-axis twin spindle machining centers up to 12” in diameter for single operation of complex turning that include milled features.

Chandler Industries has a variety of forming solutions to meet its customers’ needs. We utilize small break presses for more intricate forming operations, but also have 12’ hydraulic break press capability for heavy duty applications when tonnage and size matters. Most of our presses are equipped with quick change tooling and programmable backstops to minimize setup and cost.
