Shafts at Minic Precision Inc. are available with diameters ranging from 0.010 to 1.00 inches and lengths ranging from 0.010 to 10.00 inches. Precision ground shafts, steering shafts, welded shafts, motor shafts, precision long turned shafts, linkages and component assemblies are some examples of the types of shafts we can produce. Our shafts have tight tolerance values of ± 0.0001 inches and are manufactured from materials of the finest quality. The processes that are employed at Minic Precision Inc. to machine shafts are CNC Swiss turning, CNC milling, cold heading and CAM Swiss automatic lathing. Cold heading is a metal forming process in which high pressure is applied, and is a common method of machining cylindrical parts. Precise dimensions are achieved through the use of our Tornos Swiss Automatic Screw Machines, Bechler Swiss Automatic Screw Machines and Citizen CNC Swiss Turning Machines. All of these machines are computer automated, which ensures rapid prototyping and development of parts in short lead times. Swiss automatic screw machines use cross tools that facilitate the intricate multidirectional cutting process. CNC Swiss turning machines use dies instead of cutting tools which are capable of cutting finer details in the shafts. Our custom machined shafts are used in motors, pumps, valves, hydraulics and medical equipment. Some of the secondary services we offer include broaching, grinding, heat treating, plating, tapping, thread rolling and tumbling.

Our gear blanks are made from hardened materials that are capable of withstanding heavy shock loading. Enhanced strength, durability and excellent performance are some of the quality benefits of using Minic Precision Inc. gear blanks. The process of converting gear blanks into gears requires the addition of teeth. This is done with a hobbing machine. Gears are manufactured from precision gear blanks to optimize the power transmission output of a vehicle. Our gear blanks are milled and turned using Swiss screw machines such as Tornos Swiss Automatic Screw Machines, Bechler Swiss Automatic Screw Machines and Citizen CNC Swiss Turning Machines. Both the automatic and CNC machines perform similar operations, only the tooling methods differ in each case. Swiss automatic screw machines are fitted with multidirectional cross cutting tools. The CNC Swiss turning machines have dies instead of cutting tools, which allows more precise detailing to be added to the finished parts. Gear blanks at Minic Precision Inc. can be manufactured with diameters ranging from 0.010 to 1.00 inches and lengths ranging from 0.010 to 10.00 inches. Our other precision specifications are tolerances of ± 0.0001 inches and surface finishes to 16 micro. Some of the secondary services we offer are broaching, grinding, heat treating, plating, tapping, thread rolling and tumbling. We can provide design assistance to create a cost effective solution that meets your custom gear blank requirements.

Multi axis Swiss machining has many advantages when compared to other conventional machining processes. Simultaneous control over many axes of movement allows for enhanced production of parts, nearly eliminating the need for secondary operations. Also, this flexible process increases effectiveness, enabling manufacturing to much closer tolerances. Hard, stringy metals that are difficult to machine can easily be manufactured into usable parts with multi axis Swiss machining. Minic Precision Inc. utilizes CNC Swiss turning, CNC milling, cold heading and CAM Swiss automatic lathing to machine inserts and standoffs to your custom specifications. CNC Swiss turning machines are computer automated to facilitate in the rapid prototyping and machining of parts. Swiss automatic screw machines use guide bushings, cutting tools and sliding headstocks that consistently machine intricate parts without any defects. Precise dimensions are achieved through the use of our Tornos Swiss Automatic Screw Machines, Bechler Swiss Automatic Screw Machines and Citizen CNC Swiss Turning Machines. Also, we use Statistical Process Control (SPC) throughout the manufacturing process. All custom machines parts are available in diameters ranging from 0.010 to 1.00 inches and lengths ranging from 0.010 to 10.00 inches. Other specifications include tight tolerance values of ± 0.0001 inches and surface finishes to 16 micro.

Our Swiss automatic screw machines are equipped with guide bushings, cross tools and sliding headstocks, which can ensure the consistent cost effective production of small parts. Our CNC Swiss turning machines make use of CAM (computer aided manufacturing) services to fabricate parts directly from CAD designed outputs. This facilitates rapid prototyping and delivery of parts in low and high volumes. Our electronic pins are used as secure fasteners in several electrical assemblies and printed circuit boards. Our standoffs are used as spacers in electronic components to prevent electrical shortages. Our connector pins ensure rigidity and strong support for their respective unit assemblies. Our heavy duty hinge pins are safe, durable and long lasting. Our custom machined sub miniature parts are available with turned diameters from 0.005 inches and lengths from 0.010 inches, assuring a precise and secure fitting. Tight tolerance values of ± 0.0001 inches and surface finishes to 16 micro are available for all our products. Any custom design, whether it has a simple or complex geometry, can be machined with our Swiss automatic machines.
