Starn Tool & MFG Capabilities

CNC Milling

Complex 3-D machining can be accomplished on our 4^th and 5^th axis equipped CNC Mills such as our UMC 750 5-axis mills and our Fanuc Robodrill Vertical Machining Centers with 4^th axis capability. These machines, along with our other 4^th and 5^th axis equipment, help internal efficiency by reducing the number of operations and in-process handling required to make finished parts. Efficiency can also be achieved through the use of our multiple pallet systems, high-speed spindles, and geared heads that allow us to handle anything from standard steels/alloy steels to exotics.

Our 3-axis and manual milling machines (such as our TRAK FHM7 3 Axis Vertical Mill) also provide our customers with a more cost-effective and delivery-savvy option for small lot production, without sacrificing on quality. These machines are perfect for less complex parts such as base plates, terminal nests, brackets, blades, and more!

CNC Turning

All of Starn’s CNC Lathes have a 10” diameter capacity and a machining distance of 15”, though we are able to handle parts longer than 15” through multiple operations or moving centers. These ultra-precision machines with 12 station turrets are capable of turning materials such as Tool Steel, Stainless Alloys, Exotics, as well as plastic and graphite for electrodes.

We also have two live toolings CNC Lathe machines (Okuma LU 3000 EX and Okuma LB 3000 EX) that allow us to reduce the need for additional milling operations after turning, such as the ability to machine thru-holes, drilled/tapped holes, hex heads, slots, and more, all without ever leaving one workstation. This reduces unnecessary handling between operations and provides a more competitive and comprehensive approach to manufacturing finished parts.

Surface/ID-OD Grinding

All of Starn’s surface grinders are equipped with digital readouts and have 6” x 18” tables that allow us to run small to large parts with a high degree of repeatability and accuracy on critical surface finishes and tight GD&T callouts. If critical forms are required on parts, we are able to radius, angle, and hand-dress our grind wheels to achieve complex elliptical radii and other intricate forms.

We also have an O.D. centerless grinder to quickly grind tight toleranced, critical surface finish parts like pins, studs, and more!

Through the use of our jig grinder and hone, we are also able to dial-in on critically toleranced I.D. features on various types of parts.

Wire/Ram EDM

Starn’s Wire EDM machines are able to finish close tolerance, high complexity work with a quick turnaround, especially on high volume production runs as we are able to stack parts or cut multiple parts at a time from a large plate of material.

These versatile machines are efficient for all types of cutting and have 12.6″ x 18.66″ x 4.57″ table travel, and we are also able to taper cut up to 30 degrees.

Prototype To Production

Our CNC Mill department is equipped with 3, 4 and 5 axis automation. Our Lathe Departments is also well equipped with live tooling. We have the technology, resources and personnel to handle simple or, complex prototype to production runs. Our turnaround times are fast and we readily accept orders of quantities as low as one.

A Variety of Finishes and Materials

We use the latest in CNC technology to construct high-precision machined parts in a variety of materials and finishes. With 75 years of experience machining a wide variety of metals and materials like aluminum, exotics, alloys, stainless, tool steels and, a variety of plastics.

Reduce Your Risk

We understand that we’re producing machined parts that are critical to your business. Given the importance of quality components being delivered on schedule, we use the latest technology for quality assurance.

Materials

We work with a wide range of metals and plastic materials including aluminum, exotics, alloys, stainless, tool steels and, a variety of plastics for rapid prototypes and low-volume production. In addition to our stock list, we can provide you with customized raw material, as required.

Post-Machining Processing

In addition to Starn’s machining capabilities, we are also able to perform a variety of post–machining processing such as deburring/tumbling, polishing, sandblast/glass bead blast, part cleaning, laser marking/engraving, dot peening, electrochemical etch, and more!

Starn is also capable of simple assemblies, such as inserts/helicoils installations, as well as complex part assemblies.

Our shipping methods can also meet any requirements necessary, as our shipping department can design and build custom-made packaging.

Outside Servicing

We are partnered with a large variety of outside service suppliers, both locally and nationally, that allow us to meet any special processing requirements needed to ensure a part-to-print solution for you and your business. Let us coordinate all of your heat treat, non-destructive testing, coatings/plating processes, and more!
