SCREW MACHINING

At Key Gas Components, we offer exceptional capabilities in the field of precision screw machining. As a leading manufacturer of high-quality gas train components and specialty machined components, we have the ability to produce custom screw machined parts that conform to your exact specifications. With an inventory of Davenport screw machines that includes more than a dozen pieces of high-speed, high-accuracy, and multi-spindle equipment, we have the capacity to handle custom production orders quickly and competently. With our ability to uphold close dimensional tolerances and the versatility of our operations, we provide innovative and cost competitive design and manufacturing solutions for a wide range of industries and applications.

In addition to copper, aluminum, brass, and bronze alloys, we supply screw machined parts constructed from carbon steel, stainless steel, and other metals. We have developed many specialized processes that allow us to create detailed features of any geometric complexity to exacting tolerances. Our production staff leverages the power and precision of our screw machining equipment to ensure a high degree of repeatable accuracy and consistent quality from the very first part to the very last. The stability of our process combined with our automation capabilities enables us to run our screw machines lights-out, allowing us to achieve steady and predictable throughput rates and meet all targeted delivery dates.

We strongly emphasize quality and routinely supply screw machined products that meet or exceed a variety of industry and trade group standards. If you need design assistance, our staff is always available to help you solve problems or assist with up-front product development.
