Manufacturing complex machined parts is not for the faint of heart. To be done right, these uniquely designed components require serious engineering acumen, advanced machining skills, specialty services, and top-of-the-line CNC equipment. Complex Machined Parts Must Perform Under Unique Circumstances Complex parts are ‘complex’ because their design characteristics enable them to hold up under high

In order to stay lean while offering a wide breadth of services, Allis Roller maintains strategic partnerships with suppliers we trust. Strategic Partnerships are Hyper Local and
Switch Machining Suppliers the Right Way
What happens when a trusted parts machining supplier goes out of business, or decides to phase out production of the parts they make for you? Whatever the reason, unfortunately it’s sometimes necessary to look for a new precision machining supplier ASAP. The transition from one manufacturer to another must be done carefully, yet rapidly enough to keep
Cellular Manufacturing: What’s In a Workcell
Why is manufacturing going cellular? Because it’s a useful tool for reducing waste and meeting lean manufacturing goals. Here’s how it works: workcells organize machining processes into an assembly line that reduces waste and opportunities for mistakes. At Allis Roller, when feasible we design custom cells to achieve continuous flow for optimal safety, quality, and
What’s In a Quote for a Machined, Welded, or Fabricated Part?
Part of what makes a manufacturing operation lean is reducing waste and preventing errors at every stage of production. How a machine shop delivers a complex machined part quote is just one component of that comprehensive effort. At Allis Roller, we follow a methodical RFQ structure that saves time and prevents mistakes, because the faster
Manufacturing Audits Are an Opportunity to Prove Our Mettle
At Allis Roller, audits are not treated as a mandatory inspection, though they are, but as an essential part of our growth strategy. Regularly passing quality control inspections and exceeding the expectations of our customers helps us take on complex work and earn the trust of some of the largest international manufacturers in the industry.
Straightening of Machined Parts: How Warping Is Prevented & Corrected
Warping may naturally result from physics of welding, but that doesn’t mean we have to accept imperfect finished products. With enough foresight, creativity, and welding expertise it’s possible to either adequately straighten machined parts after they’ve warped, or prevent them from warping altogether. At Allis Roller, we leverage a variety of tools and tactics for
Lathes Are Essential Machining Technology
Most modern innovations are improvements upon existing tried and true technology, and the lathe is a perfect example of that. Despite being one of the earliest-developed tools in use today, the lathe is still an integral part of building everything from furniture to mechanical equipment depended on by every industry the world over. So why
