Fitzpatrick Manufacturing Services
Advanced processing and finishing for your most demanding projects.
Fitzpatrick Manufacturing utilizes the most up-to-date technology in processing, including modern machines, tooling, and the latest in programming techniques. Our experience, dedication to precision, and multiple operations under one roof allow us to perform advanced processes while reducing lead times and maintaining quality throughout production.
Hard Turning
Minimizing secondary finishing operations on hardened round components through Hard Turning.
Hardness Specifications
Material up to 60 HRC
Multiple Applications
Suitable for turning, boring, and facing
The Fitzpatrick Way
Hard Milling
Creating complex radii, contours, and geometric features in hardened materials through hard milling.
Hardness Specifications
Material up to 60 HRC
Reduced Lead Times
Through process consolidation and reduced secondary operations
The Fitzpatrick Way
By machining parts after heat treatment, we can maintain tighter control of critical features and produce complex geometries that would be difficult to achieve through conventional grinding processes alone.
High Speed Milling
Efficiently machine complex 3D surfaces in demanding materials with high speed milling.
Hardness Specifications
Material up to 58 HRC
Process Stability
By reducing heat buildup and cutting forces, high speed milling is particularly effective for work-hardening materials and high-temperature alloys
Reduced Cycle Times
Faster machining cycles and reduced overall machining costs on suitable applications
The Fitzpatrick Way
Our high speed milling capability combines modern CNC equipment, advanced cutting tools, and optimized CAM strategies to maximize productivity and surface quality.
True 4 Axis
Enabling complex geometries and improving efficiency with true 4 axis machining.
Four Axes
Controlling the cutter path in the X, Y, Z, and A axes simultaneously
Unique Forms
Ramped helices, spiral grooves, cam profiles, and other features that are difficult or impossible to produce with conventional 3 axis equipment
The Fitzpatrick Way
With true 4 axis machining, we can machine around the outside of a part without removing and re-fixturing it, increasing production rates.
5 Axis (Trunnion Setup)
Machine multiple features in a single setup with advanced simultaneous 5 axis capability.
Complex Geometry
Produces angled features, compound contours, and intricate geometries
Increased Throughput
Reduced setup and part handling maintain accuracy and accelerate production
The Fitzpatrick Way
By machining more features in a single setup, 5 axis machining minimizes tolerance stack-up, helping maintain tight tolerances while improving accuracy, repeatability, and overall part quality.
