CAD/CAM Systems: Precision Control For Your Project
To offer you even more exact control in the production phase, Branch utilizes three computer-aided drafting design systems with CadKey and Mastercam software. These advanced computer stations are integrated with wire EDM, CNC milling, and laser cutting equipment in the production area.

With this extra degree of coordination and communication, your job is done right the first time, under the proficient guidance of qualified designers.

Grinding: Increased Capacity For Added Versatility
Top quality equipment and focused workmanship in our grinding department give you the flexibility of a wide variety of shapes and forms up to 20" x 48".

As your resource for strategic design technology and production, Branch offers you thoroughbred machinery to ensure your project goals are met accurately and responsibly. 

Equipment in the grinding facility includes:

• Okamoto Linear Precision Surface grinder with digital readout system
• Okamoto hydraulic NC suface grinder Model ACC 16.32DX
• ELB Optimal Series NC surface grinder with 20" x 48' plate capacity
• Landis Abrasive grinder with 6" x 18" capacity
• Brown & Sharpe grinder with 6" x 18" capacity
• Harvel grinder with 8" x 15" capacity
• 24" Chuck Blanchard grinder
• Model B Medina end grinder

Laser Cutting: Efficiently Meeting Your Budget Goals
Many Branch customers use laser cutting for short run parts in order to meet manufacturing requirements. Because we store your parts specifications in out computer after manufacturing, we can easily produce more parts when you need them. No need for long runs to be cost effective. For added convenience, our computers can download programs to our Mazak laser.

Laser cutting creates a better finished edge and stable overall dimensions, and takes over much of the work of the turret punch press. Workpiece processing is simplified since dies and other hard tooling are no longer required. Advanced mechanical construction makes for high speeds in setup and process time.

Ask your Branch representative to show you how laser cutting could fit your needs and requirements, saving you time and money.

Maximum capacity is 5/16" thick, with a regular sheet size capacity of 48' x 96".

Metal Stamping and Drawn Parts: 
Your Mark Of Exacting Quality

Our Dallas feeder is capable of handling materials up to 1/4" thick and 36" wide, adding more flexibility to meet larger parts specifications. Of course, we handle small jobs, too.

Branch can handle multiple operations ini one press for short or long run productions. 

• Blanking capacity: 600 tons; progressive tooling to 600 tons with 36" coil width.
• 300, 400, 500 ton hydraulic presses.
• Maximum bed area: 60" x 120".
• Large parts, drawn to 12" deep.
• Wet Time Saver for straigh-line deburring of parts (37" maximum width).
• Spot welding equipment available.

Sheet Metal Fabrication:

Precision Inspection: Consistent Quality Performance
No one has higher quality standards in meeting your close tolerance requirements than Branch. Our Sheffield Cordax RM-50 with Direct Inspect software assures you inspection accuracy within 5 to 11 microns, enabling us to inspect your parts.

Our measurement system features an exclusive wraparound ring border design, giving you presice repeat motions for even more accuracy. What can it do for you? Correct roll, pitch, yaw, vertical and horizontal straightness, scale error and squareness deviation, and probe tip extension in all three axis. It also compensates for probe extension automatically.

Maximum capacity: x=48", y=40", z=30".
