Precision Custom Machining for Electrical Contacts

At Contact Fabricators Inc. (CFI), we understand that no two projects are exactly alike. Many industries require parts manufactured to precise specifications that standard components simply can’t deliver. That’s why we specialize in precision custom machining, offering tailored solutions that meet exact design requirements for electrical contacts and assemblies.

With over three decades of experience, our team combines advanced machining technology, engineering expertise, and a commitment to quality to produce custom components that deliver accuracy, durability, and consistent performance. Whether you need one prototype or a full production run, our custom machining services are built to support your goals.

Why Precision Custom Machining Matters

Electrical contacts are critical to the safe and efficient transfer of electricity. When these components don’t meet exact tolerances, the entire system can suffer. Precision machining ensures that every part:

• Meets exact design specifications and tolerances

• Performs reliably under electrical and mechanical stress

• Integrates seamlessly with new or legacy equipment

• Reduces downtime, repair costs, and system inefficiencies

By investing in custom machining, companies gain components that not only fit but also function optimally for their unique applications.

Advanced CNC Machining Capabilities

At CFI, we employ computer numerical control (CNC) machining to achieve the high levels of accuracy demanded by our clients. This technology allows us to:

• Manufacture parts with tight tolerances

• Create complex geometries and intricate designs

• Maintain consistency across small or large production runs

• Achieve superior surface finishes for improved conductivity and wear resistance

Our CNC capabilities allow us to handle a wide range of metals and materials used in electrical contacts, including copper, brass, silver, and specialty alloys.

Custom Solutions for Every Industry

Our custom machining services are designed to meet the needs of a diverse range of industries. We provide components for:

• Power distribution including switchgear, breakers, and high-voltage systems

• Telecommunications where reliability and performance are critical

• Industrial equipment designed for demanding environments

• Consumer electronics requiring precision in small-scale components

• Legacy systems where obsolete parts need to be reproduced or reverse-engineered

No matter the application, we deliver components that meet your unique requirements.

Engineering and Design Support

Custom machining is more than cutting and shaping materials—it requires collaboration and engineering insight. Our services include:

• Prototyping to validate designs before full-scale production

• Reverse-engineering to recreate obsolete or hard-to-find components

• Design consultation to optimize performance and reduce costs

• Material selection guidance to balance conductivity, strength, and longevity

By working closely with our clients, we ensure that every part is designed and manufactured with purpose and precision.

Quality Assurance at Every Step

We maintain strict quality control standards throughout the machining process. Every component is carefully inspected and tested to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance with customer specifications. Our quality assurance protocols include:

• Dimensional checks to confirm tolerances

• Conductivity testing to verify electrical performance

• Hardness testing to ensure durability under stress

• Surface finish inspections for smoothness and plating compatibility

This commitment to quality ensures that your components perform reliably in real-world conditions.
