Since 1960, United Tool, LLC has specialized in delivering high-quality, ready-to-assemble CNC machined components to world-leading OEMs. As a premier CNC job shop in the Milwaukee area, our mission is simple: to provide exceptional precision and value in every part we manufacture. Here’s how we ensure precision and quality control across high production volumes, using advanced techniques, state-of-the-art technology, and decades of expertise.
1. Cutting-Edge CNC Machinery and Capabilities
United Tool is proud to offer a range of advanced machinery to ensure high-precision results, including horizontal machining centers, vertical machining centers, and Swiss turning centers. These tools allow us to produce components with intricate geometries and exacting tolerances, critical for industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices. Our horizontal and vertical machining centers, along with Swiss machined components, enable us to meet diverse client needs with utmost precision.
2. Comprehensive CAD/CAM Software Integration
Precision begins at the design stage, and our CAD/CAM software plays an essential role in this. This technology allows us to design, simulate, and optimize each component before production begins, identifying and resolving any potential issues. Once designs are finalized, CAM software translates them into exact toolpaths, ensuring each movement is optimized for both efficiency and precision—allowing us to handle high production volumes without sacrificing quality.
3. Robust Quality Control Processes
Quality control is central to our operations. At United Tool, we conduct First Article Inspections (FAI) and employ Statistical Process Control (SPC) to monitor quality throughout the manufacturing process. Our technicians use high-precision tools like Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) and laser scanners to verify specifications, ensuring every part meets or exceeds client expectations. In-process inspections allow us to catch and resolve any issues immediately, reducing downtime and waste.
4. Lean Manufacturing for Efficient, High-Quality Production
By following Lean Manufacturing principles such as 5S and Kaizen, we eliminate inefficiencies and maintain consistent quality across large production runs. These principles help us deliver parts that meet precise standards while reducing lead times, offering our clients faster turnaround times and lower costs without compromising on quality.
5. Automated Inspection and Data Analytics for Continuous Improvement
Our automated inspection systems and data analytics help us maintain quality at scale. Automated inspections flag deviations from specifications in real time, enabling immediate adjustments. The data gathered is analyzed to identify trends and areas for improvement, allowing us to continuously enhance our processes and ensure every part is crafted to perfection.
6. Experienced Team of Machinists and Engineers
At United Tool, our skilled team of machinists and engineers is our greatest asset. With decades of experience, they bring invaluable expertise to every project, ensuring that each part meets exacting standards. Our team undergoes continuous training on the latest CNC techniques and technologies, enabling us to adapt to evolving industry demands and consistently deliver exceptional results.
