Choosing the Right Machining Partner: 5 Questions Every Engineer Should Ask
June 23, 2025When people hear “precision machining,” they often think of industries with high stakes and tight tolerances. But precision isn’t limited to aerospace or medical devices. It’s the foundation of reliability across sectors like transportation, fluid control, electronics, and industrial automation.
At ORRCO, we see this every day. Whether we’re machining components for valve assemblies or electronics housings, precision is essential. Here’s why it matters—no matter the industry.
Precision Reduces Risk
- In transportation, a misaligned thread or off-spec bore can lead to vibration, wear, or even system failure.
- In fluid control, a valve seat that’s 0.002″ out of spec can compromise sealing and leak integrity.
- In electronics, tight tolerances ensure proper fit, heat dissipation, and long-term reliability.
Precision protects your product, your reputation, and your bottom line.
Precision Drives Efficiency
When parts are machined to spec the first time, everything downstream runs smoother:
- Fewer assembly issues
- Less rework
- Lower warranty claims
- Faster time to market
It’s not just about tolerances — it’s about trust. Our customers know that when ORRCO delivers a part, it’s ready to perform.
Precision Reflects Process Discipline
Behind every tight tolerance is a disciplined process:
- Tooling selection
- Machine calibration
- In-process inspection
- Final quality checks
Repeatable precision isn’t luck. It’s the result of disciplined systems and skilled execution.
Every Sector Deserves Precision
We’ve machined parts for:
- Industrial automation
- Medical components
- Rail systems
- Fluid control
- Electronics
- Safety Equipment
- Lawn & Garden Equipment
And in every case, precision mattered. Because when your part is part of something bigger – a system, a product, a promise – you can’t afford to settle.
