Precision and Tolerances Achievable
ShanenTech provides tight tolerances for stainless steel components, with ±0.002 mm tolerances. Our 0.2 μm Ra surface finishes enable aerospace and medical technologies that need preciseness.
High-Volume Production and Custom Fabrication
Automated pallet systems and robotic arms provide speed and uniformity in large-scale manufacturing. Conversely, our authoritative CAD/CAM software allows us to manufacture intricate and unique components without losing turnaround time or quality for bespoke fabrication. We can quickly adapt manufacturing lines to custom requirements for scalability.

Benefits of CNC Machining for Stainless Steel
ShanenTech uses CNC machining to reach tight tolerances in stainless steel for accuracy and repeatability. It offers convoluted geometries and interior characteristics that manual machining cannot match. We've included undercuts and threads into the design for lower assembly stages and better component integrity. CNC machining also enables us to model and refine machining pathways for efficiency, which helps save cycle times more than traditional techniques. Hence, we can prototype new ideas or make revisions without forfeiting product quality or cost.

Bespoke or Customizable Product Options
ShanenTech concentrates on industry-specific solutions. CNC machining empowers us to customize any product in our line. Dimensions, metal compositions, and coatings may be changed for better rust resistance and endurance. For example, we can mill stainless steel components with micron-level surface roughness or change hardness to customer specifications.
- Quality and Compliance
ShanenTech follows ISO 9001 for quality management and ASTM A276 for stainless steel bar criteria. We track and oversee CNC machining accuracy via SPC. We can use ultrasonic and X-ray testing for interior structural integrity without affecting material attributes, if customers require. Accelerated life testing proves stainless steel components can resist over 10,000 hours of operating stress in harsh settings. So, our customers get items that satisfy stringent criteria and work dependably over time.
