MILTON MANUFACTURINGlaunches the premier showing of our newly produced video: AMERICAN MADE … DETROIT PROUD!
It is with great pride and pleasure that we share, with the outside world, the exciting expansions taking place at MILTON MANUFACTURING’S Galactic Headquarters located in the heart of Motown.
We have recently expanded our production capacity with the addition of a Mitsubishi NX 5′ x 10′ 6000 Watt CO2 Laser Cutting System outfitted with Auto-Flex Material Handling for “lights out” operation capability. The new Time Saver improves edge finish off the laser and improves surface preparation for improved paint adhesion. The addition of several “Easy Packer” machines for “Foam in Place” capabilities strengthens our kitting and packaging abilities. Our production floor has expanded to encompass over 200,000 square feet!
With an outstanding MILTON Team and the award of a 2011 Hub Zone Certification… MILTON MANUFACTURING is looking to the future with great expectations!
So… ladies and gentlemen without further ado…click to view… AMERICAN MADE… DETROIT PROUD!!!

Being in Detroit with the Red Wings in our backyard it is only appropriate that we make a miniature of THE Hockey Trophy. So we created this short video to show you the process. It is being done on one of our CNC Lathes here at Milton Manufacturing in Detroit Michigan. Check it out!
CNC LATHE TURNING – The CNC abbreviation stands for computer numerical control, and refers specifically to a computer “controller” that reads G-code instructions and drives a machine or tool. Turning is the process used to produce cylindrical components in a lathe.
Lathe Turning is just one of the capabilities MILTON Manufacturing provides it’s customers. Along with exceptional turnaround times and improved designs from concept through production.

PRESS BREAK FORMING is one of the original capabilities that MILTON Manufacturing started with 60 years ago. For many years it was a driving force in the company, now it is simply one of the capabilities we offer our customers.
In this process a Brake Press exerts a force on a set of dies in order to bend, form or punch metal. You will see a few of MILTON’s press breaks in this short video.

INSERT CLINCHING is a mechanical fastening method used to join a nut or or PEM® fastener to a piece of sheet metal. using special tools to plastically form a mechanical interlock between the sheet metals. The tools consist of a punch and a die. The punch forces the two layers of sheet metal into the die cavity forming a permanent connection. A permanent connection is made between the metal and the ‘clinch nut’ or the PEM® nut. This video shows one of MILTON Manufacturings Insert Clinching machines in action.

DROP HAMMER FORMING is just one of the capabilities we offer our customers at MILTON Manufacturing. The process involves a pneumatic drop hammer with a matched male and female die set to form complex part contours and shapes.
At MILTON, when the dies of the drop hammer make contact, the vibration can be felt 100 yards away – it is one powerful machine! Notice how forming the part captured in the video takes multiple machine “hits” to bring the metal to its final shape.
At MILTON Manufacturing, we provide our customers with exceptional turnaround times and improved designs from concept through production. To see more of our capabilities or to learn how we can go to work for you, explore this blog and contact us today at (313) 366-2450.
Metal inert gas (MIG), tungsten inert gas (TIG) and robotic welding are just a few areas of expertise in metal fabricating here at MILTON Manufacturing in Detroit, Michigan. This short video shows some of our welders and a robot in action.
Welding is a fabrication process that joins metals by causing coalescence. By melting the work pieces and adding a filler material, a pool of molten material (the weld puddle) is formed. When it cools, it becomes a strong join.

STRETCH PRESS FORMING is a process of forming panels and cowls of large curvature by stretching sheet over a form of the desired shape. The most common application for this press is in the aerospace industry.
MILTON’s experienced team can handle both skin and extrusion stretch needs. We take pride in our workmanship of the close and consistent tolerances that are inherent in this process.
Stretch press forming is just one of many capabilities we utilize at MILTON Manufacturing to provide our customers with exceptional turnaround times and improved designs from concept through production.
Take a look at the short video featuring one of MILTON Manufacturing’s stretch presses in operation. To see more of our capabilities or to learn how we can go to work for you, explore our blog and contact us today.
CNC TURRET PUNCHING is just one of many metal fabricating capabilities here at MILTON Manufacturing in Detroit, Michigan.
Turret Punching creates shapes in sheet metal by punching a series of basic shapes such as circles and rectangles. The shapes are selected from a number of tools on a rotating turret under computer numerical control, also known as CNC.
Turret punching is a cost effective method for cutting sheet metal into two-dimensional (2-D) shapes and cutouts in moderate to long runs. Edges are usually clean due to the rapid shearing action of the tools.
MILTON Manufacturing then uses its other capabilities to turn this 2-D part into a 3-D part and build the finished product.
CNC Turret Punching is just one of many capabilities we utilize to provide our customers with exceptional turnaround times and improved designs from concept through production.
Take a look at the short video to see one of our turrets in action. To see more of MILTON’s capabilities or to learn how we can go to work for you, explore this blog and contact us today.
LASER CUTTING is just one of many metal fabricating capabilities here at MILTON Manufacturing in Detroit, Michigan.
Laser Cutting works by directing the output of a high power laser, by computer, at the material to be cut. Then the material either melts, burns or vaporizes away leaving an edge with a high quality surface finish.
Laser cutting is just one of many capabilities we utilize at MILTON to provide our customers with exceptional turnaround times and improved designs from concept through production.
Take a look at the short video featuring two of our lasers in action – including a 3-D, 6-axis laser cutter. To see more of MILTON’s capabilities or to learn how we can go to work for you, explore our blog at www.miltonmfgblog.com and contact us today at (313) 366-2450.
