Our full-service CNC shop can handle short or long production runs, providing you with ready-to-install parts. Our machining experience allows us to meet the unique requirements for a wide range of industries.
Tool & Die
In-house tool and die capabilities help us manage costs and speed up the production of your castings. Kovatch engineers spec and build our CNC machining fixtures, giving us the flexibility to change designs as needed. Tool and die services include:
Constructing new tools from scratch.
Modifying and repairing tools while they are in use during production.
Adapting existing tools to perform better in our foundry even if they were previously underperforming in another foundry.
Automating manual tools to enhance efficiency and reduce production costs.
Providing samples generated from your current tooling for physical inspection prior to full-scale production.

Rapid Prototyping
Rapid Prototyping can be extremely beneficial for projects that involve complex parts and designs, helping to avoid high tooling costs during the research and development phase. Through this process, we can deliver cast parts in a fraction of the time at a fraction of the price.

Defect Analysis
Our NDT testing methods include:
Magnetic Particle Testing Reveals cracks and similar defects on, or just below, the surface of the casting to about 1/16″ deep.
Liquid Penetrant Testing Uses a fluorescent solution that soaks into voids or fissures in the part, which become apparent when exposed to ultraviolet light.
Radiographic Testing Employs X-ray technology to find defects that adversely affect the strength of the part such as: gas porosity, inclusions, shrinkage, cavity shrinkage, cold shuts, cracks, hot tears, and more. Radiographic testing is also used to verify weld repairs meet drawing specifications.
