Stecker Machine provides a range of value-added services to help customers simplify their supply chain and reduce handoffs.
Where possible, value-added services are completed during the machining cycle, but we can also provide these services post-machining, or on castings provided by customers.
Regardless of approach, the goal is to deliver parts that arrive ready for what’s next, using strategic value-added services that:
When castings, tooling, and supplier transitions are part of your program, the biggest risks often show up outside the machining cell as missed foundry lead times, tooling issues, and supplier changes that threaten your schedule.
Stecker Machine helps reduce that risk with the collaborative flexibility we have in our network of foundry relationships, including:
Stecker Machine provides a range of value-added services to customers either ordering or supplying castings.
Programs that require more than individual machined parts often experience delays and quality issues, especially when multiple suppliers are involved. Stecker Machine can handle assembly work from simple processes to highly complex automated assemblies, streamlining customer supply chains and alleviating time-consuming vendor coordination.
For programs that require it, we design, develop, and build automated assembly stations often including built-in poka-yoke to lower the risk of fit/function problems and support consistent builds.
Pressure testing helps customers catch leaks and performance issues before parts move downstream to reduce rework, troubleshooting, and risk in the field. Pressure testing is typically a program “must-have” for hydraulic, engine, and transmission-related components, and Stecker Machine is proficient in proven methods including air decay, mass flow, and air-under-water processes.
Cleanliness requirements are increasingly strict in high-volume production environments. Stecker Machine continues to invest in washing systems and in testing/lab infrastructure to support repeatable results and cleanliness validation that meet stringent specs and requirements.
Traceability is non-negotiable for regulated or safety-critical applications. When required, Stecker supports parts marking approaches including data matrix to help customers maintain accountability, reduce mix-ups, and protect quality documentation across complex manufacturing flows.
Stecker Machine provides balancing services to ensure rotating components perform smoothly, efficiently, and reliably in the field. Our experienced machinists have the expertise to balance a wide range of flywheels, rotors, augers, crankshafts, centrifuges, pumps, and more. Depending on project requirements, Stecker can balance in house or coordinate with trusted partners to keep work moving without adding complexity for our customers.
For certain applications, broaching can help customers reduce an extra step in the supply chain that might otherwise require outside processing. To avoid vendor handoffs and shorten lead times, Stecker Machine supports select, limited broaching needs when they align with part requirements.
Stecker Machine produces precision internal and external splines used in components that transmit torque and maintain accurate alignment between rotating parts common in heavy-duty industrial applications.
We use CNC gear shaping methods to create spline profiles that integrate seamlessly into gear hubs, transmission shafts, pump and motor shafts, couplings, drivetrains, and other complex machined components.
Stecker Machine’s secondary operations help transform precision-machined parts into more complete, production-ready components. Integrating these processes into the machining workflow reduces vendor handoffs and keeps projects moving efficiently.
By managing these additional steps, Stecker helps customers receive components that are closer to final assembly while simplifying supply chain management.
