Cost Effectively Reduce Machining Cycles

As a machine shop owner, you understand the importance of using high-quality metal forms to produce precise components for a wide range of applications. Franklin offers an alternative to traditional metal forms by providing investment castings that offer versatility and precision. Investment castings can replace bar stock, forgings, welded fabrications, sand castings and more. Investment castings can offer machine shop owners a cost-effective solution by reducing machining cycles.

Parts Made for Machine Shops

Here are some common types of parts made from investment casting.

Conveyor Parts
Many different components for conveyor systems are manufactured with help from investment casting, such as rollers, brackets, supports, and guides, providing reliable and efficient material-handling solutions for various industries.
Bushings and Bearings
Bushings, bearings, and other precision components used in machinery and equipment are made through investment casting, ultimately resulting in smooth and reliable operation with minimal friction and wear.
Hand and Power Tools
Durability and precision are a must when it comes to reliable tool performance, which is why investment castings are often used to manufacture various components for hand and power tools, such as handles, levers, housings, and gears.
Other Machining Equipment
Other machining equipment examples include food and canning processing equipment, plastic processing equipment, and material handling equipment.
