MMI Sonora's precision Swiss machining services are the ideal choice for manufacturing geometrically challenging long, small diameter parts. Our single spindle Swiss-type machines feature 6-axis control, live-tooling capability, and are able to turn and mill simple as well as complex parts with unmatched accuracy and repeatability. We are capable of executing a diverse range of machining operations from a single setup to manufacture high volume parts with tolerances as close as ± .0001” and excellent surface finishes. We can accommodate part sizes up to 12” in length with diameter/width/height as small as 32 mils. Materials used encompass a full scope of metals, including exotic alloys, as well as a wide range of plastics.

Dedicated to finding innovative solutions to difficult challenges to give you a competitive edge in the marketplace, our shop practices lean manufacturing strategies to optimize resources and deliver premium quality products. MMI is an ISO 13485:2003 certified facility that can ensure compliance and performance to meet your specifications. We also offer a long list of additional services to provide you a single-source for all of your production requirements.
