Himes Machine

High Speed Milling

This process utilizes a very High End Milling machine tool in conjunction with exotic tooling with cutting edge geometry. Himes Machine uses Mastercam X to complete this process by creating tool paths from solid model files supplied by the customer and takes the 3D shape right to the finished part.

This process of Hard Milling can be successfully achieved in Hardened Tool steels heat treated to 62 Rockwell "C" scale as will as many other types of materials.

2D/3D Vertical Milling

At Himes Machine, only the best quality machine tools and tooling are utilized to manufacture the most challenging geometric configurations presented to us by our customers. Our milling expertise is not specific to just alloy steels, carbon steels, brass, bronze, aluminum and copper.

We also machine exotic materials such as many grades of stainless steel, nickel, inconel and hastalloy which are widely used in the aerospace and medical industries. In addition to steel

EDM Hole Drilling

Precision Soft & Hard Turning

We have broad knowledge of precision lathe turned tooling for many types of industry. Our expertise in material types vary from alloy steels, copper, brass, stainless steel, plastics, and also finish turning of Heat treated tool steels. This process is commonly known as "Hard Turning".

The hard turning process virtually eliminates the need for cylindrical grinding which is very slow and cumbersome. Hard turning requires a very "high End" machine tool and exotic insert tooling to achieve close tolerance and fine finish.

5 Axis Wire EDM

Himes Machine operates a very "high tech" EDM department utilizing the best of equipment and tooling. Our Wire EDM expertise enables us to wire cut virtually all conductive steel types as well as all grades of carbide. Himes Machine can maintain tolerances to +/- .00005" and can cut with wire diameters as small as .002" when very sharp corners are needed.

Because of our late model machine tools utilizing the latest in technologies, we can obtain the best surface finished as required by our customers.

Sinker EDM

Himes Machine's extensive EDM department includes CNC Sinker EDM capabilities using the latest in technologies. Our equipment is loaded with all available options including 20 tool changers, programmable flush ports and the ability to burn carbide in addition to all types of steel.

This machining process is a "turn key" operation utilizing our High Speed 3D Milling capabilities to manufacture very precise electrodes with extreme finished. This allows us to successfully complete the Sinker EDM process.
