CLEARWATER, FL – Precision fab shop, Actron Engineering has seen their customer base evolve over the years, with a shift from commercial jobs to defense work. As this shift occurred, their customers wanted a shop that could provide a complete solution, which includes fabrication, welding, machining, and finishing capabilities.

In this Haas INSIDER video, learn how Actron has enhanced its machining capabilities to meet their customers’ needs, with 5-axis universal machining centers, large capacity horizontal and vertical machining centers and super-speed milling machines

CLEARWATER, FL – Actron Engineering machines aluminum at very high RPMs, which atomizes the coolant, thus creating a mist problem inside their machining centers. Out of concern for their employee’s health and safety, they recently began to add Haas Enclosure Exhaust Systems to each machining center. According to owner, Doug Herman, this has worked extremely well, and has solved the mist problem.

ACTRON INVESTS IN ADDITONAL MACHINING CAPACITY

September 28, 2017

In order to better serve our customers as well as keep up with growing demand for precision machined components, Actron is pleased to announce that we have purchased (2) additional HAAS VF-2 SS milling machines equipped with 15,000 RPM spindles and 4^th axis capabilities. These smaller but very quick machines will add capacity in the area we need it most at this time. The machines are scheduled to arrive in the last week of October, 2017.

NEW HAAS VF-11 ENHANCES LARGE MILLING CAPABILITY

September 27, 2017

Actron recently added a new HAAS VF-11 milling machine to improve our capability to machine large, aluminum plates. This machine is equipped with a touch probe, directional coolant nozzles, hi-speed machining, a 4^th axis attachment, and boasts a whopping 120” x 40” x 30” work envelope! This allows Actron to effectively compete for larger electronic cabinet sides, doors and bases and other aluminum plate and casting machining. The touch probe enables quicker and more accurate set-ups and the tool offset probe facilitates lights out machining, enlarging our productive capacity by allowing the machine to continue running at the end of the day unattended. Send us prints of your larger aluminum parts and let us demonstrate our new milling capabilities on your products.
