R & W Machine Offers Single Source Machining Capabilities And Optimized Design Solutions — February 1, 2002
R & W Machine, a manufacturer of high quality large/heavy machined components for more than 55 years, announces its single source capabilities in engineering, tooling and precision machining of forgings, fabrications and castings from 100 lbs. to 20,000 lbs. R & W provides value engineered solutions and offers customers a Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Resource Guide to help optimize shaft designs and other related components for manufacturability. R & W can machine a wide variety of components from carbon, alloy and stainless steel as well as ductile and cast iron.

R & W's complete in-house capabilities include CNC turning, CNC cylindrical grinding, and CNC milling, drilling, and boring. Whether it be a 60" diameter casting or a 120" long Drive Shaft, R & W can accommodate your requirements. CNC O.D. cylindrical grinding capabilities range to 16" diameter by 120" between centers. R & W also provides Contract Manufacturing of new OEM components, re-manufacturing of existing components and UTEX programs (unit exchange of rebuildable parts).

Quality is a tradition at R & W Machine. Many years before it was popular to have a formal quality system, R & W was a certified source for its customers. Currently, the company is an ISO 9002 compliant manufacturer. The company performs complete, in-house non-destructive testing including Level III magnetic particle, ultrasonic and liquid penetrant testing per SNT-TC-IA.
