We operate 32 CNC machines optimized for versatility, automation, and reliability to support defense and high-precision needs. These include robotic arms, multi-pallet systems, and lights-out capabilities that support continuous production and urgent delivery requirements. All processes are tracked through our MRP system for full electronic traceability and real-time visibility from quote to delivery.
Shalo Tek delivers precision 3- and 5-axis milling, turning, and wire EDM for complex geometries, prototypes, short runs, and production volumes. We support a wide range of materials critical for military and aerospace applications with an emphasis on tight tolerances, superior surface finishes, and repeatable quality.
Our turning department houses 2 Tsugami Swiss Lathes, including a BW329Z model, for high-precision small-diameter parts. Both are equipped with bar feeders and 38mm capacity. One is also equipped with live tooling, 6-inch swing capacity, Y-axis, and sub spindle.
To fulfill our wide range of vertical and 5-axis milling requirements, we utilize a robust lineup of machines for precision, speed, and scalability. Our main workhorses include Matsuura MAM72-35Vs and MX-330 P10s, along with various Fanuc Robodrill models (D21LiB5), all equipped with automated pallet changers and some with robotic arms. Additional machines include Haas models (VF-1 and DT-1), the YCM NFX380A, and a Makino V33-5XB.
Our Wire EDM capability is led by the Fanuc Robocut C600iC, which provides precision wire cutting for intricate shapes, tight tolerances, and difficult materials.
Lights-out machining and automated workflows support continuous output and faster turnaround for demanding schedules.
Built to support high-spec manufacturing environments where precision, traceability, and reliability are essential.
Expanded machine capacity and flexible production cells allow us to support both repeat work and growing production programs.
Process control, documented inspection, and electronic traceability help maintain dependable quality from quote to delivery.
