All Your Manufacturing Solutions in One Machine
We offer advanced CNC technologies engineered to reduce material handling, fixturing, and changeover time to optimize the efficiency of your metal machining. Perform friction stir welding, flow drilling, milling, and sawing operations all on the same machine -- processes that are typically standalone and require specialized machinery (which costs money, takes up floor space, requires a second program, and often more operators).

Perform high-speed milling as well as sawing operations in a single setup.

Friction Stir Welding is a solid state joining process that is ideal when you need seamlessly strong defect-free bonds without the added weight caused by bolts and rivets. You produce butt welds, T-joints, L-joints, and circumferential configurations all in a single pass. Not only does it FSW deliver higher joint strength than many other methods, but the fused area in most cases is stronger than the individual base materials! When you're not friction stir welding, your machine operates as a normal mill.

Flow drilling (aka friction drilling, thermal drilling, form drilling) creates strongly threaded connections. As it drills, it increases the thickness of the wall -- as much as 3x! -- providing additional strength even in compact sheet metal and pipe-shaped profiles. When your not flow drilling, your machine operates as a normal mill.

Industrial CNC Compact High-Rail Mill
The fully enclosed Compact High-Rail (CH) CNC machining center is designed to handle the extreme weights of large nonferrous or light ferrous metals and advanced composites block and plate. Dual ball-screw drive mechanisms deliver smooth, fast, precision cuts and backlash-free motion. The stiff Z-ram minimizes potential spindle twist and deflection, maintaining cut accuracy at tall working heights. With its large cutting envelope, load capacity, high accuracy, and aggressive speeds, this machine serves the most demanding applications.

Work area: (12' x 7') – (16' x 10')
Z-Stroke: 53"
Applications: Aerospace, Automotive, Boatbuilding, Metal Job Shops, Military & Defense

Precision Miter and Bevel Cuts of Linear Extrusion
 
Whether you’re fabricating window frames, complex architectural components, or other aluminum structures, the X- and EX-Series produce high-quality, accurate cuts at high speeds.
• Install-Ready Parts: In a single setup, perform all your sawing, drilling, milling, and tapping applications for seamless product installation.

• Accurate Cutting Angles and Depths: Cut even the most complex shapes and custom aluminum extrusion profiles quickly and easily.

• High ROI: Work with us to develop automated CNC solutions that overcome your current manufacturing challenges and set you up for years of future success.

• Time-Saving Efficiency: Automate manual processes to reduce your lead times, streamline your manufacturing, and achieve production goals well beyond the size of your workforce.
The EX-Series is a 5-axis machining center for processing a high-mix of heavy and complex linear profile extrusions and pultrusions in aluminum, composite, and other advanced materials. It comes with a fully CNC programmable, servo-powered, quick-change clamping system that incorporates part separation and indexing.
X-travel: 11' – 52'
Z-stroke: 40"

A Router for Metal Machining
Don't rely on third-party vendors' costs and time frames or turn away jobs due to manufacturing limitations. With Onsrud machinery, say "yes" to jobs, win bids, and bring your manufacturing in-house:
• Accurate processing of a variety of metals and advanced materials.
• Fast, shallow cuts that produce better finishes than slow, deep cutting operations.
• Work envelopes ranging from 4' x 8' to 12' x 100'+.
• Tailor-made chip containment and material-handling systems, and much more.
• Durable and reliable FEA-verified precision-welded steel construction.
• Supports nested-based machining to optimize material yield, reducing your per-part costs.
Let us partner with you to increase your shop's capacity, reduce costly manufacturing errors, and improve your margins.

Use the American-made G-Series for High-Volume, Continuous Processing. This machine delivers cost-effective machining of friction stir welded panels, nested sheet metal parts, stacks of aluminum skins, composites, and more. This machine can simultaneously process several different jobs using the same or different materials simultaneously.
