Greater Phoenix is building new chip plants, new aerospace lines and the supplier base that follows them. We write and prove out programs at your machine, and help new teams get running on PC-DMIS from the first part.
Greater Phoenix has grown its manufacturing workforce by about 10 percent since 2019, while the national total has slipped. The largest foreign investment in Arizona's history is turning north Phoenix into a center for advanced chip making, and the East Valley has been making semiconductors in Chandler since 1980.
Aerospace runs just as deep: aircraft engines and avionics, attack helicopters in Mesa, and space hardware in Gilbert, with precision machining, coating and fabrication suppliers spread from Tempe to Chandler and Gilbert.
Growth means new buildings, new machines and new people, often all arriving at once. The CMM Programmer helps with all three.
A new plant or a new line usually needs CMM programs before it has a programmer. The machine is installed, the parts are coming, and the quality team is still being hired.
We write and prove out the first programs at your machine, so production can start on schedule, and we can set up the basics the rest of the library will build on: consistent alignments, naming and report formats your customers will see on every part.
Then we train the people who will run it, on your parts and your version of PC-DMIS, so the new team owns the programs from day one instead of inheriting a mystery.
The work spreads across the Valley: the industrial core around Phoenix and Sky Harbor, the semiconductor and aerospace corridor through Tempe, Chandler, Mesa and Gilbert, Scottsdale to the northeast, and the west side through Glendale and Tolleson. Any of them is a place we will gladly set up.
When more than one shop in the Valley has work waiting, a single visit can cover them all, with the travel expenses split between them. We work with you to make the most sense of your workload, schedule, and budget.
New part programs written and proven out at the machine
An experienced contract programmer on your floor when the need arises, hourly or daily
First article dimensional reports built to satisfy your customer's quality requirements
Custom training on your parts, your probing, and your version
$125 per hour and $950 per day, the same rates as everywhere else in the country.
Yes, a CMM programmer can help start up a new quality lab or production line by writing and proving out the first programs at the machine, setting consistent alignments and report formats for the programs that follow, and training the new team on PC-DMIS so production can start while hiring is still underway.
It works the same whether the CMM is brand new or moved from another plant, and whether the parts are semiconductor equipment components, aerospace hardware or anything else on the print.
Scheduling on-site CMM programming in Phoenix usually runs one to two weeks out for a planned multi-day visit, and when a plant start-up date is known months ahead, the first programming visit can go on the calendar well before the machine arrives.
Urgent situations are worth a call regardless; we arrange travel around your dates the very best we can.
On-site programming coverage around Phoenix runs across the whole Valley: the industrial core around Phoenix and Sky Harbor, the semiconductor and aerospace corridor through Tempe, Chandler, Mesa and Gilbert, Scottsdale to the northeast, and the west side through Glendale and Tolleson, with everything close enough to reach inside a single engagement.
Tucson is in reach the same way, so a visit to the Valley can extend south when there is work waiting there too.
Validation of a new CMM program for production inspection is always your decision and your record, because you own the quality system that defines what evidence is sufficient to release a program into regulated production use, and that judgment cannot be delegated to an outside programmer.
We prove out programs at the machine, and we can support first article runs, correlation checks and repeatability studies during the visit. But the final judgment that the program is fit to run production stays where your quality system puts it.
Tell us about the machine, the parts, and the timeline. We will do our very best to plan around your dates, and it costs nothing to talk through it first. When a quote is the next step, a follow-up comes back with timing and a straightforward number.
