Applying advanced coatings to high-quality precision-machined parts and components is critical to improving your finished product’s durability, performance, and aesthetics.

Modern coating applications also elevate the longevity of your parts as they provide a robust defence against corrosion, which can degrade the metal when exposed to certain environmental elements. They also protect against premature component wear due to friction, abrasion, or impact in everyday use.

Our precision machining experts at Arrow’s Kenona facility specialize in making design and fabrication recommendations to bring our customers high-quality products that ensure reliable performance and durability.

One of the factors we examine during the design phase is which materials would work best for the project’s application.

The shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) from internal combustion engine (ICE) automobiles has disrupted automotive manufacturing. Automotive engineers have been compelled back to the drawing board to design these new vehicles for the most pleasant driving experience possible and transform their production facilities to meet the new demand.

Since people first learned how to extract iron from the ground and convert it into steel, humankind has bent, rolled, and shaped metal into useful objects that improve our everyday lives. Centuries later, we still rely on fabricated metal products to assist us in our daily tasks.

However, over the past few decades, there’s been increased focus on reducing our dependence on finite materials such as metal to help mitigate the impact of mining on the environment

Looking back at the early pioneers of metal parts machining and fabrication, we can’t help but wonder how they’d react if they could see the tech-driven processes we use in metalworking today. We think they’d be impressed – and a little envious!

Precision machining is an example of a manufacturing technique that has revolutionized how we build things. This process pairs designers and engineers with the most advanced software and automation technologies

As precision machined parts and components for manufacturers become more complex in order to stay competitive, the tools and technology fabricators use must continue to evolve in tandem with their customers’ needs.

These CNC machines are supported by sophisticated integrated software that allows engineers, designers, and fabricators to collaborate easily on design with their customers on their projects and communicate instructions to the tools to ensure precise cuts every time.

Rising costs and tightening budgets are two main elements that drive project development decisions. A common concern among manufacturers is how to optimize their investment without sacrificing product quality or performance.

Read on for five smart and effective ways to manage costs on your next precision machining project.

As a leading precision machining supplier, Kenona Industries, part of our Arrow Automotive division, specializes in using high-tech tools and processes to create high-quality custom parts and components for our customers’ products.

We commonly use three tech-based processes to create our fabrication solutions: turning, milling, and grinding.
