Precision Machined Parts for the Consumer Industry
At Buell Automatics, we understand that consumer products demand more than just good looks—they need to function flawlessly, day after day. Since 1966, we’ve been machining components that keep everyday products working smoothly, from kitchen appliances to power tools. Here’s how we help manufacturers create products that stand the test of time.
Why Consumer Goods Manufacturers Trust Us to Produce Precision Machined Parts
The consumer industry moves fast. Products must be durable, cost-effective, and consistently perform well. Our screw machine and CNC Swiss machining capabilities deliver precision machined parts that meet these demands without compromise.
We don’t just make parts—we help solve problems. Whether it’s a dishwasher pump component that must resist corrosion or a power tool gear that endures repeated stress, we engineer precision-machined parts that perform.
Materials Engineered for Real-World Use
Consumer products face moisture, heat, friction, and daily wear. Here are our solutions:
- Stainless Steel – For corrosion resistance in appliances and plumbing fixtures
- Brass & Bronze – Ideal for plumbing fittings and electrical contacts
- Aluminum Alloys – Lightweight yet strong for handheld devices
- Engineering Plastics – Used in food-safe and low-friction applications
We select materials based on how they’ll be used, not just how they machine. Our experience helps strike a balance between cost, durability, and manufacturability.
Precision Machined Parts We Manufacture for Consumer Products
If you walk through a normal home, and you’ll find parts we’ve made like:
- Appliance Parts – Pump shafts, valve bodies, hinge pins, sensor parts, and motor fittings
- Plumbing Hardware – Faucet cartridges, compression fittings, and supply valves
- Power Tool Parts – Gear shafts, bearing housings, and motor bushings
- Electronics Hardware – Connector pins, shielding components, and heat sinks
Each part is machined to meet dimensional requirements, taking into account assembly, maintenance, and end-user safety.
How We Have Consistency in High-Volume Production
- Multi-Spindle Machining – Get high quantities with little variation
- In-Process Inspection – Catches flaws before they turn into problems
- Material Traceability – Know which batch every part came from
Our methods are based on controlled, documented processes that yield predictable results.
Meeting Industry Standards Without Compromise
Our quality systems align with:
- ISO 9001:2015 – Consistent manufacturing controls
- IATF 16949 – When automotive-grade reliability is needed
Working With Design Teams Early Saves Costs Later
Many of our best projects start with a conversation before the design is finalized. We can help with tolerancing (avoiding unnecessary tight specs that increase cost), material selection (choosing metals or plastics that can perform without over-engineering), and design for manufacturability (simplifying geometries without sacrificing function).
Tolerancing – Avoiding unnecessarily tight specs that increase cost
A minor adjustment in the design phase can often lead to improved performance and lower production costs.
Let’s Build Something Together
Here’s how to get started:
- Share Your Needs – Send prints, samples, or just describe the challenge
- Get Honest Feedback – We’ll tell you what’s feasible and suggest improvements
- Receive Test Parts – Verify the solution before production
We’re not here to sell you something you don’t need—we’re here to help make products that work. Call us at (800) 435-0330 or visit our shop to discuss your project.
