Precision CNC machining is a machining process that uses computer-controlled machine tools for parts production. It is typically used in aerospace and defense, medical, and other industries where manufacturing parts to exact specifications is critical. The process relies on advanced technologies, including computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing processes (CAM), to achieve precision and create complex geometric cuts.
It is commonly used to create tight-tolerance machined parts that can be used in a wide range of applications, including aircraft parts, medical device components, and precision instrumentation. Benefits include reduced waste, improved accuracy, and the ability to produce complex shapes and geometries easily.
Geater Machining and Manufacturing utilizes a wide variety of machining equipment designed for both high speed and accuracy. Through robust processes we are able to provide production orders, short lead time parts and prototyping all in the same environment. With over 35 different machining centers we are able to provide support thru the entire life cycle. Whether its Prototyping, NPI, Spot buys, Contract agreements, and Legacy.
This is accomplished by incorporating zero point fixturing into all set ups. We are also able to go from set up to set up and job to job quickly and accurately, which allows us to maintain the highest accuracy and repeatability without any repeat set ups.
Geater invests in state-of-the-art equipment to continually implement the latest machining technology and capabilities to anticipate our customers’ needs.
Geater’s lights out manufacturing includes, a Mazak Dual Horizontal, 32 pallet, 500 mm FMS system. Each machine features a 330-tool beehive complete with Cyber Tool management. The 18,000 rpm spindles help minimize time in cut, enabling us to provide both low volume and high-volume production work with no set up. The machineʼ repeatability coupled with an integrated CMM ensures we produce a quality part each time.
We have seen a 20% increase in production due to the increased spindle speeds and lightning-fast tool changes. In addition, this system provides superior demand flexibility and minimizes finished goods inventory by producing a “single piece flow” system which reduces costs to Geater and subsequently to our customers.
This center has increased our capacity by 15,000 hours annually and the Sail/Mast auto scheduling software increases our machining capability by allowing flexibility in scheduling by allowing “hot jobs” to be given priority at the push of a button while long running jobs can be scheduled to run in a lights-out environment.
We also offer our customers very short lead times for prototype and small volume production work, by maintaining dedicated machining and sheet metal fabrication cells, by engineering process control into everything we do.
Geater machines a variety of materials depending upon the application and part requirements. Browse the comparison table below to understand how each material is used in the machining process.
Tolerances are location to location +/-.001; true position .002; hole size +/-.0005.
Aluminum is commonly used in precision turning because it is lightweight, non-magnetic, inexpensive, corrosion-resistant, and easy to machine.
Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel and rustless steel, is an alloy of iron that is resistant to rusting and corrosion.
Steel is one of the metal alloys that are used for precision CNC manufacturing. It offers high dimensional stability and machinability.
Plastics are popular due to their lightweight and relatively lower costs. Polymers like PVC, acrylic, nylon, PEEK, and engineered plastics have desirable electrical and thermal properties.
Copper is an excellent choice for precision machining because of its high strength-to-weight ratio and impressive heat conductivity.
Brass is machined for components requiring strength for applications and electrical conductivity and increased visual appearance.

Geater’s prototype cell is a one-of-a-kind cell dedicated to providing world class workmanship with industry leading turnaround times. We are able to increase machining capacity to provide production orders, short lead time parts and prototyping all in the same environment. This cell utilizes a wide variety of machining equipment designed for both speed and accuracy. This is accomplished by incorporating zero point fixturing into all set ups.
Operators not only run the equipment, they are able to do CNC programming and also have CAD software to check parts to customer supplied models, all within the confines of this unique and efficient cell. We have 4th axis rotary machining capabilities which enables performance of a variety of complex machining operations without removing the part from the machine.
In short, we are able to go from set up to set up and job to job quickly and accurately. Our state of art FMS cell allows us to maintain the highest accuracy and repeatability without any repeat set ups.
