Equipped with the expertise and technology to fulfill your most stringent on-time delivery and quality requirements, our Orange County, California, machine shop enables rapid scalability with 24/7 lights-out automated 5-axis machining. Our shop floor also has live tooling lathes, Swiss screw machines, and wire EDM technology.

RPI’s manufacturing experts machine over 300 unique precision parts per month and over 10,000 total parts per month, holding tolerances down to +/- 0.0002” across a diverse array of materials, offering both metal and plastic machining services.

In collaboration with your team, we identify which manufacturing processes will achieve optimum cost efficiency and quality for your part.

5-Axis Machining with Scalable, 24/7 Lights-Out Automation

  • Cutting-edge 5-axis pallet technology enables fully-automated, 24/7 lights-out machining
  • Just-in-time manufacturing mitigates excess inventory
  • Single-setup 5-axis milling cuts and contours precision parts to +/- “0.0002” tolerances

3-Axis & 4-Axis Machining

Single-setup 3- and 4-axis mills cut and contour your precision parts to tolerances down to (+/- .0005”).

Multi-Axis Lathes with 24/7 Lights-Out Automation

  • Turning machines ranging from 3-axis to 9-axis are equipped with automated material bar-feed systems, enabling 24/7 lights-out precision machining
  • Multi-axis lathes are equipped with multiple spindles and turrets, enabling both turning and milling on a single machine
  • Live-tooling lathes efficiently turn and mill in a single setup

Swiss Screw Machining with 24/7 Lights-Out Automation

  • 7-axis CNC Swiss lathes rapidly machine small precision parts with diameters of 0.780” or less to +/- 0.0002” tolerances
  • Single-setup milling, turning, boring, tapping, and other operations enable maximum efficiency
  • Automated material bar-feed systems promote lightning-fast completion with 24/7 lights-out machining

Wire EDM with 24/7 Lights-Out Automation

  • 24/7 lights-out wire EDM services deliver exceptional results with cost efficiency
  • Electric Discharge Machines easily cut hard alloys such as Inconel, titanium, and carbide
  • Wire EDM cuts intricate features and dimensions that mills and lathes cannot achieve

We are experienced in determining the appropriate tooling, speeds, feeds, and machining strategies to meet a wide range of finishes while maximizing efficiency and quality.

Our Philosophy
Our Values, Your Success

Marking & Engraving

Get your precision parts marked or serialized with one of our custom laser services:

Laser Marking

CO2 and fiber lasers precisely mark most plastics and metals without ink or tool marks.

Laser Engraving

C02 and fiber lasers engrave metal without ever touching the part’s surface. Laser engraving is well-suited for materials such as stainless steels, tool steels, hardened steel, titanium, carbide, aluminum, brass, and carbon graphite.

Laser Rotary Engraving

Equipped with rotary heads, laser rotary engraving machines precisely and efficiently engrave cylindrical parts made from most metals and plastics.

Finishing

When your parts require plating, anodizing, heat treating, powder coating, and other finishing processes, we arrange these key services with one of our tested and trusted vendor partners. We thoroughly inspect all parts to ensure they meet our exceptionally high standards for quality and consistency.

Shipping & Delivery

RPI is committed to the continuous care of your parts, beginning with the receipt of your material and extending through to machining, inspection, and secure packaging and handling.

We maintain real-time inventory control for all blanket, kanban, and repeat orders, as well as assemblies and expedites. Daily reports monitor your stock and release requirements.

Request cross-country or monthly international shipments, or inquire about direct delivery to your local Orange County workplace. Our delivery team is dedicated to appropriately handling your parts package and is equipped to address any first-level requests you may have.
