Production Capabilities

Whether you need a single replacement component or continuous manufacturing runs, we offer flexible production setups designed around speed and consistency:

Batch Sizes: Short-run, medium-volume, and high-volume contract production lines.
Statistical Process Control (SPC): Live data collection utilizing our Datamyte Model 953 Data Collector (Turbospc VA, CAD/CAM integration) to guarantee process stability across long production runs.
Turnkey Finishing & Secondary Processing: We manage external post-machining operations directly through vetted partners to deliver finished, ready-to-use parts:
- Heat Treating: Nitriding, hardening, and stress relieving.
- Plating & Coatings: Anodizing, Passivation, Electroless Nickel, Chrome, and Zinc Plating.
- Specialized Cutting: EDM (Wire & Sinker) and Water Jet cutting.
- Fabrication: Welding, bending, and shearing services.

Prototype & Short-Run Work

When speed to market and design flexibility matter most, Salco Machine supports engineers and designers through rapid turnaround prototype machining:

Fast Setup Times: Utilizing versatile manual mills (Bridgeports) and programmable CNCs (Hurco VM10i) for rapid design iterations.
Design Verification: First-article validation to ensure parts mate cleanly and function perfectly before committing to full-scale tooling.
Cross-Industry Support: Delivering custom prototypes for industrial machinery, automotive tooling, commercial equipment, and specialized repair components.

Quality Inspection & Metrology

Quality control is integrated into every step of our manufacturing workflow—from incoming raw stock to final packaging. Our temperature-controlled inspection environment utilizes:

Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM): Mitutoyo Bright A504 CMM for 3D geometric verification.
Optical Metrology: Micro-View Optical Comparator (Model H-14 / EMD-6101 Formscan 6100) for non-contact profile and angle inspection.
Geometric Testing: Dedicated Roundness Tester for checking shaft concentricity and bore geometry.
Reference Surfaces: Precision Granite Inspection Plates for manual measurement and layout verification.
