Capabilities

General Research & Manufacturing specializes in machining close-tolerance, high intricacy components and welcomes the most difficult projects. Because the company has invested in cutting-edge, powerful 5-axis milling machinery, it can manufacture complex, custom parts normally requiring more than one set-up on conventional CNC mills. Combining the capabilities of a universal milling machine with that of a vertical machining center, the 5-axis machine is actually two machines in one. This permits highly flexible 5-sided and extremely precise 5-axis simultaneous machining of most exacting parts in only one set-up. Benefits include:
 

    • Significantly lower cost per piece on multiple set-up parts
    • Higher volumetric accuracy and improved part quality
    • Part tolerance exceeding drawing requirements
    • Ability to import and read all CAD/CAM formats
    • Lower scrap rate due to advanced machinery capabilities
    • Reduced set-up time

 

In addition to superior technological capabilities, General Research & Manufacturing offers turnkey machining services including design, engineering, tooling, machining, production, assembly and shipping.
