Automated Machining, Forming and Welding in One Cell
AMG’s Mount Vernon, Ohio, facility features a fully automated robotic CNC cell that integrates milling, induction heating, bending, welding, and fastener installation, with a robot transferring parts between each processing station. Completed parts are placed on an exit conveyor for final deburring and inspection. An inspection cobot verifies the presence of all required fasteners and holes before approving each part for shipment and printing a QR code label for final packaging. Submit your part drawing, and our team will evaluate its compatibility with this automated manufacturing process.

How Many Suppliers Touch Your Part Before It Ships?
When a part needs machining, forming and welding, most buyers end up managing three shops and the freight between them. Every hand-off adds lead time, and every hand-off is another chance for a bad part to slip through.
Too Many Hand-Offs
A machine shop, a fab shop and a welder each hold part of the job, so when a part comes back wrong, each one points at the others.
Freight Between Vendors
Parts that ride a truck between operations pick up damage, delay and cost before they ever reach your dock.
Inspection After the Fact
When inspection happens at the end of a long supplier chain, a bad batch gets found after every shop in it has already been paid.
Inside the Cell: From Raw Part to Packed Part on One Robot-Fed Line
Milling, First Operation
The part starts with its first machining operation.

Cobot Verification and QR Label
An inspection cobot verifies every fastener and hole is present before the part is approved for shipment, then prints a QR label for final pack.

Machining Solutions Built Around Your Project
Every project has its own machining requirements, production goals and delivery expectations. Some parts need a single machining operation, and others need a fully automated process that takes them from raw part to an inspected, QR-labeled part ready to pack. AMG works through your print with you and builds the process around the part, with the focus on reliable production, consistent quality and dependable delivery.
From a Single Operation to a Fully Automated Process
Our newest capability, introduced in 2024, is a robotic CNC cell with a robot moving the part between every station: two milling operations, induction heating and bending, robotic welding and fastener installation. The finished part goes onto an exit conveyor for final deburr and inspection, and an inspection cobot confirms every fastener and hole is present before the part is approved for shipment. The cell handles parts up to 96 inches long.
Expertise That Carries Through Implementation
A successful machining process takes more than equipment. It takes a team that understands how the process, the equipment, the automation and the people work together. AMG has been manufacturing metal components in Ohio since 1904, and we bring that know-how to every launch, with a commitment to meeting your timeline.
Machining Next to Stamping, Laser Cutting and Welding
The cell runs in the same Mount Vernon plant as our metal stamping presses, fiber laser cutting, CNC press brakes and robotic welding. A part that starts as a stamping or a laser-cut blank can be machined, welded and assembled without leaving the building.
What a One-Cell Process Changes for You
FEWER SUPPLIERS
Machining, bending, welding and fastening under one purchase order, with one quality contact.
EVERY FASTENER AND HOLE VERIFIED
An inspection cobot confirms every fastener and hole is present before a part is approved for shipment.
QR-LABELED FOR PACK
Every approved part gets its own QR label for final pack, so each one can be traced.
