Numerous Chassisworks parts are produced entirely on our Mazak flexible manufacturing cells. These incredible machines represent a quantum leap in technology from the old-style CNC lathes used by many manufacturers. Each machine is a combination of two lathes and two mills, with automatic material loading and parts unloading. Many products, such as rod ends and clevises, require both milling and lathe work.
By combining both functions within a single machine and adding automatic material loading, the cycle time necessary to produce a part is greatly reduced. This allows us to offer a higher-quality part at the same or lower price as our competitors.
Many people have wondered how a component as complex as our FAB9 rearend housing can be priced so affordably. The “secret” is sophisticated manufacturing equipment such as this Amada Apellio combination of laser and hydraulic forming, complete with sheet loader.
