CNC Machine Shop: YAMA SEIKI VMB-1600

Precision Grinding, Inc. has installed another Yama Seiki VMB-1600. Along with adding experienced personnel to our sales team, we're growing our Machining Department. We believe in America, and we believe in ourselves. Our Machine Shop Department Manager, Stanley and Assistant Machine Shop Manager, James now oversee three (3) large CNC Machines to serve you.

Let's see what it takes to install a new CNC Vertical Machining Center.

These CNC Machines will be served by 10-Ton overhead cranes.

Chris, our humble tool rep is pictured above, along with the installation team. Thanks to fine teamwork between the Yama Seiki USA reps from Ontario, CA and from C&S Machine Tool Systems, Inc., the installation and setup was completed within (3) days.

This YAMA SEIKI VMB-1600 vertical machining center with a 15" x 30" x 60" table capacity has its own full assortment of workholdings, workholding magnets, collets, and machine tools.

In addition to housing some of the largest Grinding Machines and CNC Machines in the area, our machinists and shop personnel have the experience necessary to produce precision steel parts for you, on time, as ordered.

Further, setting us apart from competition, we have several members of our Sales Team, each with over 10 years of experience at Precision Grinding.

Please, call us at 1-888-934-7463 or 1-888-WE-GRIND with your next steel plate request.

Precision Grinding at Design2Part Show, Dallas, TX

On March 4-5, 2009, the Design2Part Show in Grapevine, Texas brought together over 1200 manufacturing engineers, purchasing executives, research technicians, and sales personnel to discuss contract manufacturing along with their manufactured products.

At the show pictured above, Jerry Quinn, Sales Manager and Brian Everling, Market Research & Development hosted Booth #422 for Precision Grinding.

Ted D'Elia, SE Regional Sales Manager and the rest of the The Job Shop Company who support the Design2Part regional shows helped all of us find ourselves comfortable at the posh Gaylord Texan Convention Center. More than 140 exhibiting companies from all over the United States found this to be one of the premier venues for a Design & Contract Manufacturing Event. We wish to thank The Job Shop Company, the greater Dallas / Ft. Worth community, and the attendees from Texas and surrounding states who became our visiting attendee "hosts" for this event.

The Grapevine area is located nearby the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. While many of the concrete roads remain white with newness, the convention center and the surrounding lodges and restaurants are a model for this century's building and construction efforts. We also passed by the new, centrally located, Dallas Cowboys stadium where we could see that members from Arlington have worked together to grow a successful manufacturing community, rich with modern amenities. The Arlington/Grand Prairie area remains headquarters for several prominent, international companies, such as Lockheed Martin and Bell Helicopter and is a major international hub for companies such as Atlas Copco Secoroc.

Precision Grinding has plans to make other tours across the country. We look forward to visiting with you, then. If you ever find yourself in the Birmingham, Alabama area, possibly for a Talladega event or a Barber Motorsports event or just traveling through, please, stop by to pay us a visit.

We believe that steel prices may have bottomed for now as steel plate manufacturers have declared plans to manufacture steel plate upon purchase order. In aggregate, steel plate manufacturers announced they have been operating at 70% capacity.
