Industry Automation

At Auglaize Erie Machine, we push the limits of industrial automation. We’ve harnessed the power of technology to deliver machining and fabrication solutions that meet the toughest demands since 1978. Our shop floor hums with the rhythm of high-performance CNC machines, robotic welders, and production systems designed to handle everything from prototypes to large-scale runs.

This isn’t about replacing craftsmanship with machines. It’s about pairing skilled hands with the best tools available so that every part we make meets our uncompromising standards.

The Machines Behind the Work

Our facility is built around equipment that blends power with accuracy. Here’s a snapshot of what keeps us moving.

CNC Horizontal Machining Centers

  • Hyundai-KIA HS 630 4-Axis Horizontal Milling Center
  • Handles parts up to 2,646 lbs.
  • 60-tool storage and high-pressure coolant for uninterrupted runs.
  • Fanuc controls with repeatability within .0002 inches.

CNC Lathes with Milling Power

  • Puma 2500 LY 5-Axis Lathes
  • Live tooling and full C-axis control for complex geometries.
  • Capable of milling while turning, slashing production time.
  • Puma 240 MSB with Sub-Spindle
  • Bar-fed efficiency for high-volume jobs.
  • Tight tolerances held day after day.

Robotic Welding

  • Motoman Robotic
  • Six-axis programmable welder for flawless, repeatable joins.
  • Paired with OTC power sources for clean, strong welds.
  • Manual Welding Fabrication
  • Handle everything from thin-gauge sheet metal to heavy plate.

Vertical Machining for Heavy-Duty Work

  • HAAS VF7 & VF4 Mills
  • Large work envelopes (up to 84″ x 32″ x 30″).
  • Rigid tapping, deep boring, and precision milling.

Why Automation Matters Here

We don’t automate for the sake of speed alone. We do it because:

1 Consistency

A machine doesn’t get tired. Whether it’s the first part or the thousandth, the specs stay exact.

2 Complexity Made Simple

Multi-axis lathes and mills tackle shapes that manual methods can’t, from intricate contours to off-angle features.

3 Waste Reduction

Automated saws cut bar stock to length with near-zero error, while robotic welders minimize rework.

4 Scalability

Need 50 parts or 50,000? Our systems adjust without missing a beat.

The Human Touch in an Automated World

Machines are only as good as the people running them. Our team programs, monitors, and fine-tunes every process. They catch what sensors can’t: the subtle details that separate good parts from great ones.

Take our welding team: while robots handle the bulk of the work, our welders oversee quality to make sure every seam meets our standards. Or our machinists, who tweak feeds and speeds by hand when a job calls for extra attention.

What We Make With These Tools

From raw stock to finished assemblies, we work with:

  • Metals: Steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, bronze.
  • Plastics: Machinable grades for industrial applications.
  • Custom Fabrications: Welded frames, enclosures, and structural components.

Finishing options include plating, powder coating, and specialty treatments to match your needs.

Let’s Make Something Together

Industrial automation isn’t a trend for us. It’s how we’ve done business for decades. Whether you’re refining a prototype or ramping up production, we’ve got the machines and the know-how to deliver.
