Precision Machining for Production Manufacturing

High-Precision Components That Meet Your Toughest Specifications

Barth Industries has a history of more than a century of applying precision machining to parts and materials other companies find challenging, or avoid entirely, developing an expertise working on cast iron. Our state-of-the-art horizontal CNC machining centers deliver the tight tolerances and superior surface finishes that demanding applications require, while our production-focused approach ensures cost-effective manufacturing for medium to high-volume runs.

Advanced Machining Capabilities

Our fleet of 10+ horizontal CNC machining centers features twin-pallet systems and tombstone setups that maximize efficiency while maintaining precision. Key capabilities include:

Tight tolerance machining
Consistently achieving specifications that challenge conventional machining operations

Cast iron specialization
Expertise in machining difficult materials that many shops avoid due to tool wear and equipment demands

Large component capacity
Sweet spot of 200-1000 mm diameter parts weighing up to 1000 pounds

Multi-axis precision
Complex geometries and challenging features machined to specification

Quick changeovers
Efficient setup transitions that support flexible production scheduling

Custom Fixturing and Engineering Support

We design and manufacture custom fixtures in-house to achieve tight tolerances on complex geometries. This capability ensures consistent part positioning for repeatable precision while reducing setup times and per-part costs. Reduced setup times resulting from our in-house custom fixturing capabilities can help expedite product delivery for customers that require just-in-time responsiveness.

Our engineering support helps optimize manufacturability and reduce costs, while our program management capabilities include supply chain coordination and vendor management to streamline customer operations.

Materials Expertise

Our machining capabilities span a comprehensive range of materials including cast iron, ductile iron, steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and forgings. Cast iron represents a particular specialty area where our dedicated equipment setup and process expertise deliver superior results compared to general-purpose machine shops.

Production-Ready Manufacturing

Built for medium to high-volume production runs (500+ pieces per month), our precision machining services support just-in-time manufacturing requirements. Complete quality protocols include 100% inspection, CMM capabilities, first article inspections, and full traceability back to shift and machine operator.

Quality-Driven Precision

Our commitment to quality doesn’t happen at the end of the line – it takes place at every stage of the manufacturing process. State-of-the-art CNC equipment, skilled operators with decades of experience, and rigorous quality control ensure that every component meets your exact specifications for form, fit and function.

Whether your application demands challenging materials, tight tolerances, or high-volume consistency, Barth Industries provides precision machining capabilities that meet and exceed customer expectations.
