Tucker Precision Machining

Challenges:

Machined from a solid block of 5083 aluminum to plus/minus 0.005 inch tolerances, this complex reservoir required close coordination with the customer to ensure their design criteria would be met while facilitating cost effective fabrication.

The 5" depth of the reservoir, thin wall cross sections (0.25") and machined features on virtually every outer surface required over a dozen fixture set-ups on two separate mills to complete.
