Twenty-two CNC platforms. ±.0002" routine tolerance. Prototype runs through full production.
The flagship full 5-axis machining center in our production network features a 19" round trunnion table, an 18,000 RPM spindle, and a 60-tool magazine — engineered to take complex geometries from setup to final feature in a single fixturing. Backing it up is a fleet of 3-axis VMCs with work envelopes ranging X 22"–32.5", Y 16"–22", Z 14"–20", and spindle speeds up to 12,000 RPM. Together, that capacity supports everything from one-off prototypes to repeat production runs.
Routine tolerances to ±.0002"Eight CNC lathes in our production network cover bar-fed and chucker work from 1.625" to 3.05" spindle bore, with maximum turning diameters to 10.2" and up to 25 HP of cutting power. Live tooling on multiple platforms enables cross drilling, milling, and secondary features inside a single cycle — reducing handling, fixturing variation, and lead time. Precision-class lathes hold repeatability to ±.0001" on critical features.
Repeatability to ±.0001"Five Swiss-type platforms in our production network — configured across 5, 7, and 9 axes — handle bar capacities from .812" through 1.50", with spindle speeds reaching 8,000 RPM. Swiss capacity is the right fit for high-volume precision turned components: small-diameter shafts, pins, fittings, and complex turned parts where slenderness ratios and tight diametrical tolerances would defeat a conventional lathe.
High-volume precision turned componentsEvery job is inspected by the production partner against drawing requirements using optical comparator measurement and in-process gauging at the machine. The network's documented ISO 9001:2015 quality program drives drawing review, traveler generation, and first-article verification on every contract. QBF Solutions reviews documentation before delivery. The result is parts that ship with the documentation primes need to close out a line item.
Secondary operations within the production network include surface grinding, bead and vapor blasting, mass-finish deburring and tumbling, and full sawing and stock preparation. Keeping these steps within the vetted network shortens the path from raw bar to finished, inspected part — and keeps responsibility for the whole job in one place.
We deliver parts routinely machined in aluminum alloys, stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, brass, bronze, copper, and a range of engineering plastics. Specialty alloys including titanium and high-nickel alloys are available on request to suit program-specific material specifications.
