We are located at Ciudad Juárez, México.
Is in the border with El Paso, TX.
Currently what I have is a 7HP Bridgeport Interact Machining Center, with Heidenhain TNC 151control, and a 10 HP Hitachi Seiki lathe, with Fanuc 5T control.
The common jobs here are the design and fabrication of fixtures and automated workstations for the Maquiladora Industry. It involves some machining, welding, pneumatics, mechanics and digital electronics.
What I am looking for, is to focus on machining only. More specific in milling and turning by volume, leaving aside heat treatment, grinding, plating, design and other specialties that are a whole world by themselves.
Of course, bussiness are bussiness and we always are hand tied by what the market asks not by what we like to do.
I think that work with molds is fun... but I'll bet that is also stressfull, specially when talking about big/expensive tooling.
In this city the vast majoritie of those jobs are made with EDM, mostly repairs.
Cheers
