CNC Automation Experts

Specialty CNC Machining, Engineering, and 3D Modeling

Production Automation Technology makes parts, fixtures, and complete mechanisms for manufacturers, builders, and product developers. Decades of designing and building CNC and automation equipment go into every job, from our shop in Brooksville, Florida.

What We Do

Angled drilling demo: screws set at many angles in one piece

Specialty CNC Machining

Multi-axis milling and drilling, rigid tapping, sheet and panel cutting up to 5×10 ft, long parts up to 18 ft, tangential wheel cutting, laser engraving and marking, welding, and 3D printing.

Specialty CNC →

3D toolpaths programmed on a long wooden strut with angled end cuts

Engineering

Bring the problem, not a drawing. We design the mechanism, fixtures, and adapters, then make every part in-house.

Engineering →

Exploded CAD model of a layered plate assembly, with each layer in a different color

3D Modeling & Drawings

CAD models and drawings from sketches, samples, photos, or imperfect files, ready for review before material is cut.

3D Modeling →

We work in metals, plastics, wood, building panels, foam insulation, TPO roofing membrane, and composites. See the full list of processes on the Specialty CNC page.

Something BIG

Large yellow full simultaneous 5-axis CNC router gantry on its rails

We’ve acquired a full simultaneous 5-axis large format CNC router with a 128 × 259 in. work area and 96 in. of Z travel. A new building to house it is under construction.

How a Job Runs

1
Send a drawing, model, sketch, sample, or a description of the problem.
2
We review it and model or engineer what’s needed, including fixtures.
3
We machine, mark, and inspect the parts.
4
Pickup or shipping, then revisions or production quantities.

Why Choose Us

  • Automation and CNC Background: decades of designing and building CNC and automation equipment.
  • Experts at Fixturing Difficult Parts: odd shapes, thin walls, long or awkward parts. We design and build custom jigs and fixtures so they’re held securely and cut accurately.
  • Many Processes Under One Roof: machining, cutting, marking, welding, and 3D printing, so parts pass through fewer hands.
  • Made in Brooksville, Florida: parts are programmed, machined, and inspected in our own shop.
