Your material processing partner for small scale operations
Part Processing Systems
Your Partner in Precision Automated Part Processing
IST Precision designs and builds custom part processing equipment that leverages various material removal methods, including laser ablation, milling, polishing, and marking. By employing expertise in machine vision, we can build the equipment with in-line inspection and adaptive automation strategies to achieve highly repeatable material removal on a part-by-part basis.
Comprehensive Part Processing Capability
Through its years of automation experience, IST Precision has become expert in engineering a wide range of part processing systems — from delicate micro-scale operations to large-format industrial applications. Each system is designed with precision, reliability, and repeatability in mind, leveraging advanced automation methods and precision motion control to achieve exceptional process consistency. These capabilities have included
Material removal systems using shearing tools for precise part trimming
Custom milling platforms within an automation system for accurate material removal
Laser ablation systems for micro-scale material removal and surface structuring
Large saw systems for cutting and notching wood or composite panels
Induction heating systems for rapid thermal processing and part preparation
Precision dispensing systems for controlled application of fluids and adhesives
Laser marking solutions for permanent identification and traceability
Custom induction heating to rapidly elevate part temperatures for surface treatment and curing cycles
UL508A-certified, turnkey build-to-print services
Part Processing Partnerships and Certifications
Built for Reliability and Performance in the Field
Every system designed by IST Precision is built to perform and engineered for durability, repeatability, and on-time delivery. Each machine is assembled with the same attention to detail applied to its design, ensuring consistent performance and minimal downtime once deployed in the field.
To maintain tight process tolerances, many systems incorporate high-speed inspection and precision metrology directly into the automation sequence. These in-line verification methods ensure every part is processed within specification, reinforcing IST’s commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and dependable operation long after installation.
When to Consider Custom Precision Automation
Our machines might be deployed when:
There is no commercial system for a unique process
Accuracy, speed, or size requirements exceed the capabilities of typical platforms
Integration with custom sensors, machine vision, or test modules is needed
Tightly toleranced production demands are increasing beyond normal personnel capacity
Precision process requirements are beyond a typical staff’s skill or capability
We’ve supported industries from medical and electronics to optical and R&D.

The Tiniest Defects Magnified: IST’s Custom Vision Expertise
January 30, 2025
Are you searching for a machine vision partner for your automation or custom instrument or application? Do you need a company that actually understands inspection? Unlike standard integrators, our company offers a wide breadth of knowledge in metrology and inline inspection.
Vendor Feature: Asyril Flex Feeders – Micro Automation and Feeder Systems
December 17, 2024
The demand for smaller, more powerful, and increasingly functional devices continues to surge, spanning a wide range of applications—from implantable medical devices (such as pacemakers and miniaturized hearing aids) to non-invasive surgical tools and consumer electronics (like smartwatches). However, this trend toward miniaturization presents a challenge: how can we efficiently assemble and manufacture these intricate and delicate devices on a large-scale production level?

Automating Workflows: A Collaborative Success Story
July 22, 2024
The Industrial Automation market is expected to reach $𝟒𝟎𝟎 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 annually by 2029. This growth is only possible by making automation more flexible and easier to adopt in to manufacturing. The rise in the need for more automation in U.S. manufacturing is in part driven by two factors: a shrinking skilled workforce and the need for cost-effective processes. As companies bring production back to the U.S. (onshoring), staying competitive requires streamlined workflows, and reduced labor costs.
