As specialists in the manufacture of large-scale parts, Technox Machine & Manufacturing, Inc. offers planer and CNC vertical milling services for components with dimensions of up to 113″ in length, 336″ in width, and 84″ in height.
Through a powerful blend of well-maintained heavy-duty machine tools and highly skilled manufacturing technicians, we are able to maintain precision ± .0005″ tolerances on the largest of workpieces.
Occupying extensive floor space in the shop, our assortment of planer mills and 3- and 4-axis CNC vertical machining centers can handle almost any milling function. Our facility also houses high-capacity forklifts as well as 35 individual pieces of lifting and hoisting equipment to move components weighing up to 15 tons.
We have in-depth expertise working with most types of metal including, high-temperature, high-strength alloys. Our quality assurance program maintains a long list of advanced technology test and measuring equipment specifically for the inspection of large workpieces. We offer a deep selection of secondary and finishing services in order to streamline production and provide you with the cost advantages of using a single vendor.

Our Milling Capabilities
Choosing the right materials, finishes, and after-production services can make the difference between reliable parts and parts that don’t work and don’t sell. At Technox Machine & Manufacturing, Inc., we work hard to provide an extensive range of milling capabilities—including a variety of material, finish, and additional service options—to allow our customers to streamline their production process and reduce their production costs.
Our Materials Capabilities
We have in-depth expertise working with most types of metal including, high-temperature, high-strength alloys. The metal materials we mill include:
- Aluminum
- Brass
- Bronze
- Cast Iron
- Copper
- Nickel and nickel alloys (such as Hastelloy and Inconel)
- Stainless Steel
- Steel
We also provide milling capabilities for plastic parts.
Our Finishing Capabilities
The finish of a milled part significantly influences its longevity, functionality, and reliability. At Technox, we offer the following finishing services:
- Anodizing. The anodizing process coats a metal component with an electrolytically formed oxidized layer. This layer stops the rest of the part from oxidizing because it forms a hard barrier against oxygen and contaminants.
- Black oxide. During this process, operators dip parts into a black oxide bath. The chemicals convert the top layer of material to a more matte and corrosion-resistant surface.
- Painting. Painting creates a layer of protection against chemicals, corrosion, and physical damage. Additionally, different paint colors can facilitate the organization and identification of components after production and increase the aesthetic value of the individual parts.
- Plating. Many industrial parts are plated. The plating process coats parts in a thin shell—i.e., plate—of another metal to create a surface that resists damage.
- Priming. Priming is similar to painting. This additional step prepares the surface for future painting operations to provide stronger adhesion and protection.
- Powder coating. Powder coating finishes adhere to the surface of a component. This dry finish is often used as an alternative to painting. Different powder mixtures can also provide different protective and other functional attributes.
Our Size and Tolerance Capabilities
Our milling equipment can handle components of up to 336 inches (28 feet) in width, 113 inches (9 feet, five inches) in length, and 84 inches (7 feet) in height. We can establish and maintain tolerances of ± 0.0005 inches on even the largest of workpieces.
Our Production Volume Capabilities
We offer milling capabilities for prototype to medium volume runs.
Additional Machining Processes
No matter how complex your part design is, we have the machining capabilities to bring it to life. In addition to our milling services, we offer the following machining processes:
- Boring
- Broaching
- Counterboring
- Countersinking
- Drilling
- Facing
- Gear hobbing
- Knurling
- Parting/cutting
- Pocketing
- Profiling
- Reaming
- Splining
- Tapping
- Threading
Additional Services
To support our machining operations, we also offer several post-fabrication services to ensure your order is finished and shipped according to your company’s needs. Our other services include:
- Testing. We offer testing services—including hardness, dry penetrant (leak), and surface finish testing—to ensure your parts are made to the proper manufacturing and performance specifications.
- Welding and repair. We can weld or repair parts as needed.
- Assembly or kitting. These services allow for better logistics management throughout the supply chain and a more streamlined production process.
- Custom packaging. Custom packaging reduces the amount of time it takes the final product to reach distribution centers, retailers, and customers.
