When a leading manufacturer and supplier to global off-highway equipment brands needed complex machined components, they turned to Stecker Machine Company. Known for our precision CNC machining technology, skilled workmanship, and engineering expertise, Stecker was tasked with delivering a solution that met extremely tight tolerances and ensured repeatable quality at scale.
When a CNC project seems too complex, that’s when OEMs and parts designers know to call on Stecker Machine. And it’s not just because our team can figure out how to get it done, but because we know how to get it done in collaboration with the customer.
Complex parts for industrial applications often feature intricate geometries, tight tolerances, and demanding machining requirements. Not all CNC shops are equipped to tackle that kind of complexity nor have a skilled workforce capable of bringing a product engineer’s design to production manufacturing.
While Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) design their own custom parts for a product, they can be manufactured in-house or manufactured to specifications by a contracted supplier. This is especially true for precision CNC machined parts.
New technological innovations are introduced every year, but if you keep your eyes open, you’ll see shifts that can turn into trends in the CNC machining industry.
Do you rely on a request for quote (RFQ) to get accurate pricing from your CNC machining partners? This vital process not only results in a quote but also provides details about timelines, capabilities, machining techniques, external services, and more. It also serves as a guide after the work has been awarded.
In today’s world, people don’t just want a job. People want fulfilling careers, with opportunities to learn, grow, and advance while doing work that matters. Just as important are the people you work alongside, knowing that your coworkers have your back and enjoy sharing a laugh or two.
Many factors make an industrial CNC machining project challenging, from materials and tooling to complexity and tolerances. Sometimes the circumstances make it a challenge, like supply chain issues, tight timelines, or hitting budgetary goals with limited volume.
Stecker (SMC) has seen it all and worked with industrial clients to help them reach their goals and deliver the highest quality custom CNC parts possible. Here are a few examples.
For more than 50 years, Stecker Machine has been a leader in CNC machining, serving customers both big and small. So, why talk about our vision, mission, and core values now when it’s been a driving force for decades?
Stecker Machine is proud to be a leader in the CNC machining industry, and we occasionally — and humbly — like to toot our own horn. Today’s topic is a tough one: selecting just four CNC automotive parts to talk about. It almost feels like being asked to choose a favorite child!
