Large-scale precision machining

Footage Tools needed precision-machined components for their new hydraulic squeeze-off tool, named the C2400 SQUEEZE BOSS – a large hydraulic press used to compress HDPE plastic pipelines for safe and efficient field work.

The size and complexity of the tool required:

• Large-capacity CNC equipment capable of handling oversized components
• Tight-tolerance machining for mechanical interfaces and high-pressure zones
• Dimensional consistency across large parts for friction-free operation
• Complex project management
• On-time delivery to meet product launch deadlines

Our Solution

Our machine tools and team handled the large-scale components with precision CNC machining:

• Large-bed CNC machines for oversized parts
• Optimized surface transitions for smooth mechanical movement
• Rigorous quality control at each stage
• Assembly-ready tolerances despite component size
• Collaboration with the client’s management team to ensure seamless project management and delivery

The Result

• Smooth, reliable tool component fit and function per specification
• Easy final assembly
• On-time product launch
• Subsequent orders for additional production units based on the products success
