The well-established field of laser marking continues to break new ground with expanding business opportunities in automotive, oil and gas, medical and other industries.

Optimizing Oil Country Workholding

There is no real problem with threading a pipe. Most DIY types can do it in their workshop with hand tools, but when the pipe is 40′ long and ordered by the ton, you are in oil country. Pumping crude oil out of the ground requires drill pipe, casing, tool joints, tees, crosses, flanges, and couplings. All those items need to be machined. And that takes specialized workholding.

Optimizing Machining and Production Performance

Nikel Precision Group also implemented solutions that optimize tool performance to improve quality, as well as production intelligence that provides real-time insights into factory performance.

Energy Industry’s Up-and-Down Cycle Continues
