When you become a customer of Alexander Machine and Tool, we become part of your team. We are committed to the continued success of our customers and offer ideas and methodologies to foster the partnership. With our team of experienced professionals and in-house manufacturing expertise, AM&T possesses the most advanced machining capabilities. Our fully integrated approach provides customers with precision-engineered products, lower production and handling costs, and just-in-time delivery with quality built-in.
One of the ways we serve our customers is by reviewing every drawing for cost-savings. During quoting and manufacturing, our team highlights the cost drivers and initiates cost saving processes. Our engineering staff submits ideas to our customers with the cost savings amount.
We offered one customer a $500,000 savings on a five year machining project by redesigning a cast aluminum part into an extruded aluminum part. Not only did this offer cost savings, it reduced the lead time and allowed the product to function better! Our team also initiated a $380,000 cost savings program by developing a dip-brazed housing that was originally designed as a casting. Our finished housing cost the same as the raw material of the cast designed item!
We manufacture parts of all varieties, but we excel at extrusions and castings. One of our strongest forte's is machining card guides on castings, aluminum and steel. We have developed an inexpensive method to assure accuracy while machining deep narrow card guide slots as seen to the right. We use this technology on many dip-brazed housings too!
