Metal Job Shop Application

CNC MACHINES FOR METAL JOB SHOPS

Ch Series

Don’t rely on third-party vendors’ costs and time frames or turn away jobs due to manufacturing limitations. With Onsrud machinery, bring all your manufacturing in-house, say “yes” to jobs, win bids, and deliver on time.

Whether you work with aluminum plate, aluminum sheet, linear profile extrusions/pultrusions, or a variety of other metals and advanced materials, cut it right the first time, getting high yield, high material removal rates and high-quality results. Our method of performing fast, shallow cuts produces better finishes than slow, deep cutting operations, and with work envelopes ranging from 4 x 8 to 12 x 100+, you can increase your shop’s capacity, opening up job opportunities and revenue streams.

Machines Built For You

All of our machines are capable of machining metals, so which machine is best for you depends on your specific job shop and business goals. We’ve listed the most common models used by metal job shops — many opt for one of the fully enclosed machines for operator safety and debris containment — but if these do not meet the needs of your specific application, one of our other machines might be a better fit for your shop floor.

Built for

METALS

We engineer CNC solutions to save you time and money: With batch processing, multiple parts are set up once and machined continuously without having to unload and reload material.

 

With nested-based machining, you get the highest yield from your material, producing more in less time, reducing scrap, and increasing your profits.

 

Or, further speed up production with pendulum processing, you safely load/unload material from one work area while the machine continues to perform operations on another part of the table. Add a second spindle to a twin table for dual process capability, doubling your production without the expense of a second machine.

Built for

efficiency

We offer specialized advanced CNC technologies engineered to reduce material handling, fixturing, and changeover time to optimize the efficiency of your metal machining.

 

The EX-Series with specialized clamping system performs high-speed milling as well as sawing of aluminum linear extrusions in a single setup.

 

Friction Stir Welding is a solid state joining process that is ideal when you need seamlessly strong defect-free bonds without the added weight caused by bolts or rivets. C.R. Onsrud performs friction stir welding and CNC milling operations on a single machine for a 2-in-1 solution.

 

We have a wide range of coolant options (as well as many other options) designed to your specific metal application: through-spindle coolant for deep drilling and heavy cutting into nonferrous metals, flood coolant for high-intensity milling, MQL for high-speed and general machining, plus more.

Built for

You

We partner with you to understand your production goals and to understand your application so we can make the best machine recommendation with the best customized options based on the specific metal and the density of the metal you’re machining.

 

We build durable, steel-constructed machines and use high-quality components to endure the speed and torque needed for metals without vibrating or causing tool deflection.

 

You’ll cut your metal products right the first time, getting high yield, high material removal rates, and high-quality results.
