Machining projects and parts we have built in Tijuana
A sample of the work that leaves the shop every week. For confidentiality reasons, some parts are shown without customer identification.
Fixtures
Aluminum assembly fixture
Holding device designed from scratch for a harness assembly station, with interchangeable locators.
Die sets
Progressive cutting die set
Die shoe with ground pillars and bushings, hardened tool-steel punches and plates ground to fine parallelism.
CNC milling
Base plate with pockets and tapping
6061 aluminum plate with pockets, positional drilling and tapping, machined straight from the customer's 3D model.
Welded structures
Steel transport cart
Welded structure with industrial casters and removable trays, designed to the line's available footprint.
Laser engraving
Part number and QR marking
Permanent marking of identifiers and Data Matrix codes on anodized parts without affecting the finish.
Reverse engineering
Discontinued spare replicated
Wear bushing from imported machinery: we measured the worn part, modeled it and reproduced it with heat treatment.
Metrology
First-article inspection
Full dimensional verification against a GD&T drawing with calibrated instruments and a signed report for the customer.
Sharpening
Cutting tool recovery
Sharpening of carbide end mills and drills that went back into service instead of being replaced.
What to look for in each part
A photograph does not convey a tolerance, so it is worth saying what each job was actually solving. On the stainless shafts the challenge was a sliding fit with a sanitary finish; on the die set, plate parallelism after hardening; on the aluminum fixture, letting an operator load and unload one-handed without losing location. A good-looking part is the one that also works on the line.
Where these jobs came from
Almost none of them arrived with a complete print. Most started with a phone call describing a problem, a broken spare on the table or a sketch in a notebook. Our design department took the dimensions, proposed material and process, and the customer approved the 3D model before any machine turned on.
Why some parts are not shown
A good share of what leaves the shop is covered by a confidentiality agreement: tooling for medical device lines, defense-sector components and developments not yet on the market. Those parts are never published, not even with the customer removed. If your project needs the same treatment, the agreement is signed before we receive your files.
