No job is too big or too small for JB Tool, Die & Engineering, Inc. When called upon to make an upper spindle shaft for a high-speed rotary machine, we were ready to go. The customer required the spindle shaft to be constructed from air-hardening AISI A6 tool steel. The fabrication process began with CNC turning, grinding, and milling to achieve the rough size. Then we heat treated and used CNC cylindrical grinding to reach the finished dimensions of 9.5" in length and 1"in diameter. We were also able to meet the requirements that the diameters be concentric within .0002".
We are specialists in high-speed rotary machines. If you need a new machine, a rebuild, or a repair, please contact us today. For more information on this ...

A client in the plastics industry presented us with a challenge: Create a product whose requirements were beyond any currently available process. The project called for production of manufacturing equipment for a 70 mm wide-mouth tamper-evident plastic closure that would run at 900 cpm. To fulfill this project, we would need the new process to run at double the speed of what was available at the time. We worked with and invented several new patented processes and mechanisms and built the manufacturing cell that would compression mold a wide-mouth shell at 900 cpm, slit and line at 1000 cpm, inspect, and package the caps for shipment.
Re-engineering the process through prototype development and testing, we met all of our customer's ...
