CNC Machine Services
UTEC Industrial provides precision CNC machining on Mori Seiki, Mazak, and Monarch equipment — gantry sawing up to 50 x 84 inches, lathe turning to 48-inch diameter, and tolerances to ±0.001 inches.
Precision CNC Machining for Heavy Industry
UTEC's machine shop produces precision components for material handling systems, crane wheels, industrial wear parts, and custom equipment. Every part is machined in-house on equipment maintained to factory specifications — ensuring consistent accuracy across production runs.
UTEC machines components from carbon steel, alloy steel (AISI 4140, 4340), stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, and other engineering materials. Parts are machined to tolerances of ±0.001 inches and designed to last millions of production cycles in extreme operating conditions including high temperatures, heavy loads, and corrosive environments.
CNC machining is fully integrated with UTEC's engineering, fabrication, and heat treating operations — allowing single-source manufacturing from raw material through finished, tested components.
CNC Equipment & Capabilities
UTEC operates multiple CNC machining centers, lathes, and a gantry saw for heavy industrial component manufacturing.
Gantry Sawing
UTEC's Marvel Gantry Saw handles stock up to 50 inches wide by 84 inches tall. The gantry saw is used for cutting large steel billets, forgings, and plate stock to size before machining — providing accurate, square cuts that reduce setup time on CNC equipment.
- Maximum capacity: 50 x 84 inches
- Cuts carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and aluminum
- Square, accurate cuts for efficient downstream machining
CNC Milling
UTEC's Mori Seiki Vertical Machining Center provides high-precision milling for complex geometries, bearing bores, keyways, bolt patterns, and critical alignment surfaces — delivering repeatable accuracy for production runs requiring ±0.001-inch tolerances.
- Mori Seiki Vertical Machining Center
- Tolerances to ±0.001 inches
- Complex geometries, bearing bores, and critical surfaces
CNC Lathe Turning
UTEC operates Mazak and Monarch CNC lathes for turning operations on round stock, forgings, and castings up to 48 inches in diameter. Applications include crane wheels, shafts, rollers, bushings, and other cylindrical components for material handling equipment.
- Mazak and Monarch CNC lathes
- Turning capacity to 48-inch diameter
- Crane wheels, shafts, rollers, and cylindrical components
Support Equipment
UTEC's machine shop includes manual lathes, drill presses, surface grinders, and hand tools for secondary operations, deburring, and finishing. Overhead cranes from 3 to 50 tons handle workpiece loading and positioning throughout the machining process.
- Manual lathes and drill presses
- Surface grinders for precision finishing
- Overhead cranes: 3-ton to 50-ton capacity

Frequently Asked Questions
What CNC equipment does UTEC operate?
UTEC operates a Mori Seiki Vertical Machining Center, Mazak and Monarch CNC lathes, and a Marvel Gantry Saw. This equipment handles milling, turning, and sawing operations for components ranging from small precision parts to large steel billets up to 50 x 84 inches.
What is the largest part UTEC can machine?
For sawing, UTEC's gantry saw handles stock up to 50 inches wide by 84 inches tall. For turning, the Mazak and Monarch lathes accommodate workpieces up to 48 inches in diameter. Overhead cranes rated up to 50 tons handle loading and positioning of heavy workpieces.
What tolerances can UTEC achieve?
UTEC machines components to tolerances of ±0.001 inches on the Mori Seiki VMC and CNC lathes. These precision tolerances are critical for bearing fits, alignment surfaces, and wear components used in material handling systems and crane wheels.
What materials does UTEC machine?
UTEC machines carbon steel, alloy steel (including AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute) 4140 and 4340), stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, and other engineering materials. Material selection depends on the application — alloy steels for crane wheels and wear parts, stainless for corrosive environments, and aluminum for aerospace applications.
