Defense

Defense components must meet demanding production requirements, from threaded couplings to other small, precision-machined parts. Gent Machine manufactures CNC machining parts for military & defense applications using CNC Swiss machines, screw machines, CNC mills, and related production equipment.

We have produced brass and steel threaded couplings for military gun barrel brushes, including brass couplings for the gun barrels on Apache helicopters. These components require consistent dimensions and repeatable production across orders. Gent Machine can also produce pins, sleeves, projectiles, and other precision components based on customer specifications.

For customers managing ongoing defense production, Gent Machine’s equipment supports quantities ranging from hundreds of components to millions of parts.

Precision-machined components play an important role in munitions production. Consistent dimensions and repeatable manufacturing are critical for these types of parts. Gent Machine provides small nested rounds for munitions using our CNC and screw machines. 

Our Swiss style CNC machines, CNC turning centers, and screw machines can produce small, cylindrical, threaded, and other detailed components in small and large production quantities. Gent Machine works with materials such as  steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, copper, and specialty materials such as A286, titanium, Inconel, and Nitronic 50.

Gent Machine also supports the production of ordnance through CNC machining.  Our machining processes provide repeatable dimensions and consistent part geometry across production runs.

Our experience includes machining threaded and slotted couplings manufactured for military gun barrel brushes, broached housings for grenades, battery cases for gun sights, and firing pins for guns. These parts demonstrate Gent Machine’s ability to produce small, production-critical components with consistent results. Customers can work with Gent Machine on projects requiring CNC Swiss machining, screw machining, CNC turning, milling, and secondary operations.

Gent Machine combines multiple machining processes to support Military & Defense production requirements. Our equipment includes CNC Swiss machines, Davenport screw machines, Acme screw machines, Hydromat rotary transfer machines, and CNC milling centers. Secondary machining and finishing capabilities further support production requirements.

• Quality and production support include: inspection gages, optical comparators, vision systems, SPC, lot traceability, material certifications, first articles, PPAPs, FAIs, certificates of conformance, and 100% inspection when required.

Gent Machine is IATF 16949:2016 certified for the manufacture of precision machined products and assembly of components. These production and quality resources give customers a practical source for repeatable defense components across a range of materials and production volumes.

Your defense manufacturing project requires a machining partner that can produce consistent components at the required volume. Gent Machine brings CNC Swiss machining, screw machining, CNC turning, milling, materials expertise, and quality control together to support your defense projects.

From military couplings and sleeves to nested rounds and munitions components, Gent Machine can support your production requirements with established manufacturing capabilities. Contact The Gent Machine Co. to discuss your part specifications, production volume, and machining needs.
