How Our Expertise Drives Efficiency in Material Handling Manufacturing

Material handling manufacturing plays a role in the crucial automotive and transportation industries. From the inception of Henry Ford’s moving assembly lines to today’s modern factories, conveyor systems facilitate the seamless and safe movement of goods.

At KCSP Machine, we’ve made a name for ourselves by creating high-precision parts that make these systems work harder, last longer, and perform better under pressure. With decades of experience, top-tier equipment, and trusted vendor relationships, our team is ready to tackle the toughest challenges in material handling. 

Precision Parts for Conveyor Systems

The KCSP Machine team produces everything from bolts with lubrication provisions to bushings, pins and axles. These parts must withstand constant rolling pressure, wear, and stress, making strength and precision non-negotiables.

Here are the processes required to produce high-quality material handling components:

  • Heat treating: We partner with trusted heat treating vendors to deliver parts that withstand the toughest conditions.

  • Precision CNC machining: Whether it’s screw machining services or multi-axis CNC machining, our capabilities cover everything from simple to complex parts. While screw machining is suitable for many of the material handling parts we produce, channels for lubrication (for example) require advanced CNC machining, a process we excel at. 

  • Grinding for tight tolerances: For components that demand ultra-tight tolerances, we work with trusted grinding vendors to ensure every part meets our customers’ exacting specifications.

Materials That Withstand the Pressure

Material handling manufacturing demands only the strongest, most resilient metals. At KCSP Machine, we primarily utilize alloy steels, like 1215 and 4140 steel, and 1018 carbon steel.

Our deep understanding of these materials, coupled with our expertise in our processes and our vendors’ processes, ensures that every part we produce performs as expected. There are nuances that come with working with similar parts over time, one being knowing whether to machine parts before or after heat treating to minimize issues like warping or bending.
