Reliable machining of large parts with high precision is considered to be an essential in heavy industries such as construction, mining, and energy. Massive machinery and components are used by these industries to handle extreme environments. Blackhawk Engineering, LLC is a large machining company that provides the expertise and machinery to supply durable, sturdy, and precise components tailored to the needs of heavy industry.
With advanced equipment like the Mazak FMS 5 Axis Machining Centers and high-capacity Horizontal Machining Centers, Blackhawk meets the demands of large-scale projects, helping to keep construction sites, mines, and wind farms running smoothly.
Precision and Power with Mazak FMS 5 Axis Machining Centers
When producing large, complex parts, the Mazak FMS 5 Axis Machining Centers are among the best in the industry. These machines have a 1450mm diameter and 1600mm height capacity, making them perfect for fabricating heavy-duty components used in construction and mining.
With their 5-axis capability, we can create intricate geometries to produce complex shapes and precise cuts, which are crucial for components like powertrain parts, housings, and structural components. Blackhawk’s prowess with this machinery allows clients to receive parts that meet exacting industry standards for durability and performance.
Efficient Production with 800mm Horizontal Machining Centers
Another indispensable asset in Blackhawk’s large machining reserve is its 19 units of 800mm Horizontal Machining Centers. With high precision and substantial capacity, these machines are designed to handle bulkier workpieces that are common in mining and construction equipment manufacturing.
The design of these centers makes for faster production without having to sacrifice accuracy, which makes them an ideal solution for large part production like brackets, suspension components and main bearing caps. This equipment supports Blackhawk’s commitment to timely delivery without sacrificing quality in the heavy equipment industry, where delays can be very costly.
High-Powered Vertical Spindle Lathes for Heavy-Duty Applications
For turning large parts with high precision, Blackhawk utilizes Vertical Spindle Lathes with remarkable capabilities, including machines with max turn diameters up to 49.2 inches and a horsepower of 75. These lathes are necessary for manufacturing large cylindrical components used in construction and mining machinery, such as shafts and collars.
The power and capacity of these lathes allow Blackhawk to handle high-stress applications, producing strong parts that can withstand the intense wear and tear typical of heavy industries. Large machining, with this level of horsepower and precision, ensures that every part aligns with the durability and reliability expectations of our clients.
Precision Inspection with Global Advantage CMMs
Large machining doesn’t stop at cutting and shaping; precision inspection is equally as important. Blackhawk’s Global Advantage CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines), which offer dimensions up to 2000mm x 3300mm x 1500mm, precisely measure and assure quality in large components. In divisions like wind energy, where precise alignment and structural integrity are non-negotiable, CMM inspection guarantees that each and every component meets the exact specifications.
These CMMs are invaluable for inspecting complex parts like gear cases, hubs, and couplings, tools essential for supporting the massive turbines in wind energy systems. By utilizing advanced measurement systems, Blackhawk guarantees that each part achieves the standards required in critical applications.
Meeting the Demands of Construction, Mining, and Wind Energy
Blackhawk Engineering’s experience spans a range of heavy industries, including construction, mining, and wind energy. For construction and mining, components like structural parts, housings, and bearing caps are vital to the safety and functionality of heavy equipment. Blackhawk’s large machining capabilities make it possible to deliver these parts to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with a high degree of accuracy and consistency.
For wind energy, Blackhawk provides precision components that support the structural and operational integrity of turbines, including shafts, motion components, and fluid manifold blocks, each produced with precision and attention to quality.
