We are currently completing a rush column cover project producing circular column covers.  Our shop is located in Delaware but this particular job is heading to New York. So the column covers had to be crated and shipped. This project was produced in such a short time we were only able to photograph them AS they were being crated for shipping! If you have a project, and you need it done fast, just give us a call and send us the drawings for a quote. Due to the contractors extremely tight schedule, these cols were made from unfinished aluminum and will be post finished in situ.

A great project that required quite a bit of water jetting, rolling, and welding.  the details of this project cannot be disclosed any further.

This was a great project!  We designed, engineered and built this Slitting machine used for the purpose of slitting non metallic mateials for fiber/non metallic stampings. This machine is now the "WORK HOURSE" for our client who is planning on replacing all of their other antiquated slitting machines with this new design.  Stay tuned as we add photos of the finished machine in situ, with the newly designed and built in feed table that directs raw materials as they are fed into the machine.

This is a purpose built machine was designed to launch....something! Unfortunately we can not disclose any other information about this project, nor could we photograph it in its completed form.

This project was deceptively simple yet required careful attention to detail.  These boxes required alot of water jet cutting, CNC milling, CNC brake bending and welding.  Due to the nature of the project we could not document it in its completed form.  These images were taken prior to grinding the welds and finishing.

This was a fascinating project that required quite a bit of machining, water jetting, rolling, and welding.  the details of this project cannot be disclosed any further.

This Project was CNC intense!  We set it up on one or our CNC mills, the HAAS.  In order to produce one finished part per cycle, we set up 5 stations.  With this set up a raw block of material is placed in the first station on the right. then with each cycle it is moved down to the next station.  Once 5 cycles are complete, one finished box emerges every cycle.  "Normally", one operation is run on all the blanks, then the next operation and so on.  The disadvantage of this, is that all operation have to be complete before you get a single finished item.  At Diamond State Machining, we understand that even though an order may be for 500 units, you may need 20 or 100 at a time to keep your business flowing.

Here is a question: if you wear out a car crushing machine, where do you go to get it fixed? Diamond State Machining of course.  a few years ago we had the privilege of building a new hinge for a car crushing machine which had worn out severely.  Fast forward to 2011, and now we have had the opportunity of building the hinge for the remaining side!  Below are the images for the newly built car crusher hinge.  What is obvious from the photographs is the amount of precision machining needed to build this hinge.  The hinge pin below measures 4" in diameter and just over 20' long! We made bronze bushings that were pressed fit into the hinge sleeve.  To do this we heated up the hinge while simultaneously cooling down the bushing which we machined oversize for this purpose.  Once at temperature, the two components were quickly introduced to each other and fit together. When the parts normalized to room temperature the fit is permanent!!!

We are currently fabricating some incredible electronics gondolas whose ultimate purpose we cannot disclose.  These particular units are labor intensive aluminum fabrications requiring:

• water jet cutting
• CNC bending
• precision threading
• pressing of threaded inserts (nuts and studs)
• extensive riveting

Unfortunately we cannot disclose any other information on this project.
