Metal Craft is a second generation family owned manufacturer of medical instruments. As medical parts get smaller their tolerances get tighter. We looked for a precision 5-axis machining center combined with its own automation system. After visiting the Jingdiao headquarters, we decided to purchased their GRA200 combined with their 24-station pallet changer. Their engineers were at Metalcraft when our machined arrived and started the installation after the machine was in place. I was really impressed when they verified the machine which included laser calibration, ball bar and axis straightness and the results were even better than the factory specifications. After Jingdiao completed our on-site machine, automation and Surfmill CAM training, they assisted us in running some parts. Our team of machinists use the on-machine measurement software and automatic alignment system which reduces set up time. Jingdiao’s support was very responsive, and they made follow up visits to ensure our satisfaction. It been a good experience working with Jingdiao North America and their local dealer Jeff Johnson of Alltech Machinery.

Preferred Tool is a second generation family-owned and -operated custom mold manufacturer located in Hugo, MN. We purchased a JINGDIAO GRA200-GRAPHITE 5 axis machining center with their own 110 station electrode changer. This was going to be our first 5 axis machining had many advantages like reduced setups, longer tool life, and combined with our own automation system reduces electrode machining production costs. There was a team of JINGDIAO engineers that installed both the machine and the automation system. They also lasered verified the machine, provided on-site training, and assisted operators as they cut their first electrodes. JINGDIAO also worked with our 3rd party CAM provider in order to get the post processor written. The machine has made us more productive and we are very pleased with the Jingdia machine and support.

All Tech Machinery has represented the very best machine tool manufactures in the world. We see an incredible value in high quality machinery, automation and in-process inspection solutions. In the global manufacturing market, we seldom see technology that is this disruptive to an industry. All disciplines of the machining process are under JINGDIAO’s control. No other machine tool corporations can claim this. In addition there are only a couple of machine tool builders capable of successfully making these close tolerance high quality parts.

As the Gosiger 3D Application Engineer, I spent over 500 machining hours during an 8-week period evaluating the JINGDIAO 5-axis mill at our Dayton headquarters. The JINGDIAO engineers supported me during the entire process. If they couldn't answer a question, they would have it the next day. I was extremely impressed with their technical skills and response time. I cut multiple samples on the JINGDIAO GRA400 5-axis machining center including micron-level parts with finishes down to a 2RMS. Parts were programmed both with 3rd party CAM software and JINGDIAO's own Surfmill CAM software. I found Surfmill to be intuitive, and powerful with many standard features.  Because of the machine's rigid bridge style construction, thermal stability, 3D tool compensation and on-machine measurement, the JINGDIAO can cut high precision parts. It is one of the most precise machines that I have ever seen and we now represent JINGDIAO exclusively in all of our territories.
