Machining is also available at our facility. We offer a wide assortment of processes for rough machining our materials down to a particular size, and shape. We have dedicated machinists that will do what it takes to help our customers attain that delivery that they need.
Machining and Welding Equipment
Centerless Grinder
Cincinnati: 4" Tube, 2" Dia to .100" Dia. 36' long bars that have been produced at HPA.
Cincinnati: 4” to 1” Dia Up to 30’ Long bars. 2 units side by side.
Add that nice finish to the bars you ordered (if not already finished that way), or have us grind the bars to a diameter that is better to start machining from. Our grinding the material saves the shipping (and time needed to ship) to and from another centerless grinder. We do not produce shaft quality straightness and tolerance in-house, but your needs can be discussed.
Lathes
Lansing T: 60" between centers, 10" Dia, 4" through hole
Heavy duty for those large diameter bars, and machining jobs, good accuracy with simple set-up on most jaws. Both three and four jaw chucks can be used.
Mills
Small production jobs, rough milling an angle, slotting, reduce thickness, and flange drilling for accuracy, good tolerances, and easy to use.
Gorton: 36" x 14" travel
Cincinnati: 24" x 12" travel
XLO: 21" x 10" travel
Moore: set as drill press
Surface Grinders
Mattison: 60" x 12" chuck, 12" high
Close tolerance small run production, excellent control of long parts the are tolerance critical.
Reid: 18" x 6" chuck, 12" high
Very small jobs, with medium tolerance ranges, quick setup allows for very economical production.
Drill Press
Leland-Gifford: Heavy frame 2 HP
Light duty drilling of small quantity jobs due to minimal setup of machine.
Hydraulic Press
Dake: 60 Ton
Bump straightening, and heavy stamping.
Welding
Miller: TIG / Arc (250 Amp.)
TIG welding offered for those small fabrication jobs. One application performed was a nuclear waste incineration boat, HPA produced 10 of these carriers.
Miller: MIG
