Shop Transitions to Aerospace Work with CNC Grinder

摘要

"Anybody can make the easy stuff," says Jon Labrie, general manager of J&E Precision Tool Inc. That reality doesn't reflect the high-precision work the Southampton, Massachusetts, shop now does, but that wasn't always the case. The shop began in a one-stall garage, providing general commercial machining services including toolmaking, and production of firearm parts and fixtures. Over the years, the company began taking on higher-precision work, specifically in the aerospace and defense industry sector. As demand increased for even more complex and higher-precision parts, J&E invested in advanced manufacturing systems, and realized a wide range of positive effects on workflow and delivery, part quality, machine utilization, production costs, and quoting.
