Watry Industries distinguishes itself by combining advanced aluminum casting expertise with precision CNC machining. Rather than outsourcing machining operations, Watry performs them entirely in-house, maintaining complete process control and guaranteeing alignment between casting and machining specifications. This integration ensures that every aluminum CNC machined component begins as a high-integrity casting engineered for precision and repeatability.
Seamless Integration of Casting and Machining
Every machining process begins with a perfectly cast aluminum part. Watry’s in-house foundry utilizes multiple casting methods—including permanent mold, semi-permanent mold, tilt pour, and reverse tilt pour—to achieve optimal metal flow, dimensional stability, and minimal porosity. Once castings are produced, they move directly into Watry’s CNC machining centers, where tight tolerances and complex geometries are achieved efficiently and consistently.
This approach eliminates the challenges that occur when casting and machining are handled by separate vendors. Instead, Watry’s engineering, casting, and machining teams collaborate throughout the production process, ensuring alignment on tolerances, tool paths, and finishing requirements.
State-of-the-Art CNC Machining Capabilities
Watry’s machining department is equipped with advanced automation and high-speed precision technology, including:
- (8) DMG Mori NH6300 high-speed horizontal machining centers
- (7) DMG Mori NHX6300 high-speed horizontal machining centers
- (7) OKK 800 high-speed horizontal machining centers
- (5) 400mm–500mm horizontal machining centers
- (1) CNC turning center
- (14) High-speed vertical machining centers
- 6-axis robotic loading of multiple machining centers
With this equipment, Watry delivers precise, repeatable aluminum CNC machining for both simple and complex parts. The integration of casting and machining enables rapid feedback between processes—allowing engineers to adjust parameters in real time and improve yield without added downtime.
Process Control and Quality Assurance
Watry’s single-source production model allows for continuous monitoring of every stage, from molten metal handling to final machining. Advanced quality systems ensure each aluminum CNC machined casting meets or exceeds dimensional and performance specifications. The result is superior part consistency, reduced scrap rates, and faster time to market for customers.
Single-Source Efficiency
By uniting aluminum casting and CNC machining under one roof, Watry provides manufacturers with a streamlined production solution that minimizes logistical complexity and maximizes efficiency.
Key advantages include:
- Shorter lead times through concurrent scheduling and process coordination.
- Improved quality control with real-time feedback between casting and machining departments.
- Reduced transportation and handling costs by eliminating the need for third-party machining.
- Greater accountability and reliability through a single point of contact for every project.
This single-source efficiency ensures that Watry customers receive complete, production-ready aluminum components with less risk and faster turnaround than multi-vendor supply chains.
Scale and Versatility
Watry’s aluminum CNC machining capabilities are designed to accommodate a wide variety of component sizes and production volumes. The company produces castings ranging from 1 pound to more than 150 pounds, supporting annual volumes from 300 parts to over 600,000 parts.
Whether a customer requires prototypes, mid-volume runs, or long-term production programs, Watry’s flexibility and process control allow for consistent, repeatable results. Its broad range of casting and machining technologies make it possible to adapt to new designs quickly—an essential advantage in today’s fast-moving manufacturing environment.
