We Do Machining
At Alexandria Industries, we have been performing precision machining for our customers since 1972. In fact, early in our company’s history, some customers thought we were a machine shop that happened to have an aluminum extrusion press.
Currently, we use more than 64 precision computer numerical control (CNC) machines throughout two of our ISO 9001:2015-certified facilities located in Minnesota. We have extensive experience machining 6000 and 7000 series aluminum, aluminum forgings, cast aluminum, grey iron, ductile iron, brass, and steel.
We can machine components up to 300 inches, and currently have 3, 4 and 5-axis machining centers. As product needs dictate and our machining centers allow, we employ cellular manufacturing systems that include machining, deburring, tumbling, washing, assembly and packaging within the specified cell centers. Our machining services also include stand-alone turning capabilities.
We use the latest in machine automation technology, from 29 robotically tended CNC’s to our Makino modular machining complex (MMC) and utilize many multi-functional sawing/machining centers.
A 14-person tooling team supports our precision machining capabilities, complemented by a machining applications department of eleven technical specialists.
Our machining improvement technician team supports production using advanced Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) technology, along with other manual measurement tools, to measure part dimensions to ensure we meet our customers’ exact design specifications. We maintain electronic documentation of all measurement data for statistical process control analysis, troubleshooting and traceability.
Our various machine tool “platforms,” allow for quicker job set-up and repeatability. Depending on customer need, we choose the platforms based on machine size/capability, and the required tooling concepts.
Through due-diligence and our dedicated staff, we are proud to deliver precision-machined components to our customers as quickly as possible every day.
