Excellence You Can Trust
Trusted by Fortune 500 companies for high-precision CNC machining, tight tolerances, and superior quality.
Ensure Precision Alignment in Bore Interfacing
Achieving sub-micron alignment in bore-to-bore and shaft fits is essential for air gauges, calibration mandrels, and probe carriers.
Machine bores and shafts within ±1 μm using fine boring heads, hydrostatic guides, and thermal drift compensation for high-precision mating parts.
Use Renishaw probing systems during machining cycles to capture dimensional shifts and auto-correct paths within ±0.5 μm tolerances.
Employ SPC data analysis to monitor drift, tool wear, and geometry shifts—ensuring batch-wide conformance and long-term instrument repeatability.
Deliver Tool-Mark-Free Surfaces for Critical Contact
Surface integrity on optical flats, stylus holders, and metrology bases demands ultra-smooth finishes with no tool-induced artifacts or micro-chatter.
Apply ultra-precision fly-cutting using single-point diamond tools to achieve optical-grade surface finish on non-ferrous and glass materials.
Use fine-particle abrasive lapping and non-contact polishing to achieve Ra < 0.05 μm, preventing surface noise in optical and tactile interfaces.
Inspect all contact-critical planes using white-light interferometry and optical profilometers to ensure form, waviness, and micro-finish compliance.
Maintain Traceable Metadata for High-Mix Production
In metrology, low-volume high-variety part production requires each component to carry a validated digital footprint for standards compliance.
Encode each part with traceable metadata including machine ID, operator stamp, tool batch, and thermal cycle records via embedded laser marking.
Maintain complete machining history with time-stamped parameter logs and fixture ID tracking to support ISO 17025 and NIST requirements.
Generate certifiable trace paths and inspection reports linked to CAD files and SPC charts, enabling end-to-end component lifecycle validation.

Get Clarity with our Manufacturing Insights
Frigate uses high-stability machining centers equipped with thermally balanced spindles and nano-precision feedback systems. Bore features are machined using ultra-fine boring heads, followed by in-cycle inspection using Renishaw OMP probes that detect deviations in real time. The machine auto-corrects for tool wear, thermal drift, and axis backlash before continuing to the next feature. Final bore-to-bore alignment is verified using calibrated air gauges and high-resolution coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), ensuring concentricity and roundness within ±1 μm across multiple components in the same or different batches.
Yes, Frigate specializes in machining ultra-stable frames using low-CTE alloys like Invar, Super Invar, and low-expansion stainless steels. These materials are sensitive to internal stresses caused by uneven material removal and localized heating. To avoid this, Frigate separates roughing and finishing operations using thermal soak cycles between stages. Additionally, parts are pre-stabilized using cryogenic treatments or vibratory stress-relief processes before final machining. This approach prevents stress-induced deformation over time, ensuring long-term dimensional stability critical in high-accuracy metrology frames used in CMMs and calibration benches.
Frigate achieves ultra-flat surfaces by controlling every variable in the machining environment. All finishing operations are performed in temperature-controlled zones held within ±0.2°C. Fixtures are mounted on zero-vibration granite bases during the final cuts, and cutter paths are dynamically adjusted based on real-time tool deflection feedback. To avoid distortions, low-depth passes are used with balanced cutting forces. After machining, each surface is inspected using laser interferometry and autocollimators to confirm flatness and parallelism within sub-micron limits. This ensures optical and contact measurement planes remain true across the instrument’s lifetime.
Frigate has built a custom Manufacturing Execution System (MES) tailored for high-mix, low-volume precision work. Every component is tagged digitally with process data including machine ID, operator code, tool lot number, cutting parameters, and thermal history. During production, measurement data is logged in real time and linked to each unique part ID. This allows every unit—even in one-off or prototype batches—to be fully traceable for ISO 17025 or NIST calibration requirements. Purchasers receive digital quality reports that include SPC charts, machine logs, and inspection certificates tied directly to each part.
To achieve flawless optical and tactile surfaces, Frigate uses diamond fly-cutting, single-point turning, and ultra-fine abrasive lapping. These techniques are applied on dedicated ultra-precision machines with controlled spindle speeds, minimal vibration, and micron-level tool offset adjustment. The finishing process eliminates tool-induced chatter, micro-scratches, or burrs that can distort optical readings. Each surface is inspected using non-contact metrology tools like white-light interferometers and profilometers to confirm roughness values below Ra 0.05 μm. This ensures surfaces are clean, uniform, and compatible with high-sensitivity metrology functions like stylus contact or laser reflection.
