LASER

Lasers have quickly taken sheet metal fabrication to new levels. Not only are they able to cut any contour or shape cleanly, they are able to hold tolerances of +/- 0.002”. Carbon and Stainless steels, Aluminum, and even titanium are all easily processed with the focused beam of light. Using our numerous CAD/CAM systems, MPI uses the lasers to create intricate tooling for other machines and complex fixtures for welding and assembly. Our thickness capabilities are 1.00” Carbon Steel, 0.625” Stainless Steel, and 0.375” Aluminum. If your requirements exceed this thickness, please see our waterjet section.

WATERJET

Waterjets have to be the most versatile equipment at our disposal, as they are able to cut virtually any material that is placed on the work table. This includes, but is not limited to: Steel, Stainless Steel, Titanium, IncoAlloys, Brass, Copper, Marble, Granite, Glass, Plastics of all sorts, wood, and Styrofoam. We have been using waterjet technology since 1993 and have been the leading waterjet house in our region since that time. In conjunction with our waterjet systems manufacturer, MPI has assisted in the development and improvement of the waterjet process, giving our supplier actual shop performance evaluations, outside the lab environment. Please consult our staff for more information on this intriguing process.

SHEAR

An essential piece of sheet metal equipment is the shear. Cutting full sheets down to either finished pieces or more usable sizes is the shears primary function, although it can be used for mitering purposes as well. Our capacity for shearing is 0.250” Aluminum, 0.250 Carbon Steel, and .190” Stainless. If your requirements exceed this thickness, please see our laser or waterjet section.

BRAKE AND ROLL FORMING

At Midwest Precision, we do light to medium gage brake forming. Our largest capacity is a 257 Ton by 14 foot press brake. With multiple brakes ranging from 250 Ton to 25 ton, we have the equipment and the experience to form large oil pans, .375” steel bumper assemblies, and electrical enclosures, all the way down to very small electrical components.

Our roll forming includes light to medium gages, as well. We have several rolling machines that include a large adjustable roller that we use to form multiple radiused hood assemblies for off-road oil patch trucks down to a hand roller that is used for the smallest of parts.

MACHINE SHOP

We have a small manual machine shop that includes 2 end mills and a lathe. We perform high tolerance drilling, reaming, tapping, and countersinking. We also do some milling and turning, but mainly to support our sheet metal services.

WELDING

Midwest Precision offers a fully staffed weld department that is certified in a variety of weld procedures. From state of the art pulse technology on multiple processes to the ability to weld exotic metals, we have the equipment and the personnel to provide your requirements.

MIG / GMAW: Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Carbon

TIG / GTAW: Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Titanium

Flux-Core / FCAW: Stainless Steel, Carbon

Exotic Metals: Brass, Copper, Aluminum, Titanium

As a job shop, we participate in many different markets. Our weld department excels at the challenges of projects such as aerospace, electrical cabinetry, Department of Defense, auto and trucking industry, and structural (as in refinery ladders, platforms, and walkways). We staff some of the best fitters and welders operating on three separate shifts, 7 days a week. We have the capacity and the know-how to fabricate complete weldments for your products.

5/6 - AXIS LASER

Midwest Precision’s laser cutting capabilities are not limited to flat sheet cutting. Using a 4000-watt resonator and a 5-Axis articulated head, MPI is able to cut intricate shapes in 3 dimensional parts. This includes irregular shaped extrusions, hydro-formed parts and deep-drawn parts. Our engineering department uses AutoDesk Inventor, Solidworks, and Mazak’s SpaceCam to make fully conforming fixtures to every part, fast and efficiently from sheet metal on hand.

With the addition of the lathe-like chuck, a 6 th Axis is utilized to laser cut tube material, such as round, square, and rectangular tube. Stucturals such as I-Beam, Angle Iron, and Channel can be processed in a similar manner or fixtured to the table.

PUNCH PRESS

Midwest Precision has been using CNC punch press technology since 1977, with the purchase of the first punch press in any North East Oklahoma-area job shop. Punching is a tried and true process capable of producing hole patterns very quickly and with close tolerances. With our vast library of tooling, we can quickly and economically produce a large quantity of parts in a short amount of time.
