A Precision Machine Shop with Industry-Leading Expertise

At Path Machining, precision isn’t just a process; it’s our guiding principle.

Built on the foundation of three incredible companies — Integrity Tool & Engineering, Custom Turning, Inc., and 401 Manufacturing — our journey began in 1998 with an unwavering focus on exceeding expectations by delivering consistent quality in every design and component we produce.

Fast forward to 2024, and our commitment to excellence remains a core part of everything we do. Beyond what it means to be a good partner, our team understands the nuances of each industry we serve — from the unparalleled accuracy required within the electronics industry to the high-tolerance machining necessary for our partners in the aerospace sector.

Clients rely on Path Machining as a trusted partner, giving them the freedom to focus on running their business while we handle their most complex projects. From initial concept to final production, we collaborate closely to ensure our processes align with their goals, providing peace of mind and a smooth path to market.

Advanced Technology for Unmatched Precision Machining Services

Our new state-of-the-art precision machine shop, spanning 45,000 square feet, is outfitted with the latest CNC machining technology, ensuring precision and efficiency in every project. Operating multiple shifts maintains steady efficiency, keeping your project on a seamless track from start to finish.

As of 2024, we continue adding new tools to our arsenal, enhancing our suite of services to maintain our position at the forefront of the industry. Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, including the DMG Mori NTX 1000, a carbon-neutral, high-precision multi-tasking mill/turning machine equipped with:

  • 240-degree B-axis milling head
  • 77 tool holders with auto-chargers
  • In-Machine Traveling Robot (IMTR) for automated material handling and loading

The new machine allows us to significantly reduce production time and cost while still providing the exceptional precision and quality that clients have come to expect.

We also recently added a second Kitamura HX250 to our facility, significantly streamlining setup times and enhancing our ability to efficiently produce precise, intricate parts.

Utilizing cutting-edge technology has multiple advantages:

  1. It allows us to create highly precise parts faster and more efficiently, minimizing lead times for our clients.
  2. Advanced machines ensure we can maintain strict quality standards at every production stage, from prototyping to large-scale manufacturing.

We constantly upgrade our equipment and incorporate new machining techniques – such as Wire EDM, Laser Marking, and Swiss Screw – to handle unique materials and complex designs. This technological edge ensures that every part we produce meets or exceeds our clients’ expectations for durability and function.
