Precision at scale. Machining mission-critical hardware.
Satellite structure, vacuum chamber bodies and defense assemblies up to 16 feet long, machined on bridge mills and 5-axis centers, welded to UHV procedures and helium leak-tested before they leave Hayward.
Mutual NDA signed on receipt. Files flagged as ITAR-controlled are handled by US persons only.
One building, from bar stock to leak-tested assembly.
A part moves from bridge mill to weld bay to metrology room to assembly without leaving the facility. One vendor, one traveler, one point of accountability.
See your part inside the machine before you call.
Pick a machine to see its travel drawn to scale against a 6 ft person. Enter your part's bounding box and we'll tell you whether it fits, and by how much.
Viper PRW-5340
Travel is not usable part size. Tooling, fixturing and head clearance take room, most of all in Z. "Fits" means inside travel; our engineers confirm the real setup during DFM review. Oversize parts still get quoted.

Hardware for programs that can't afford a second attempt.
The same floor builds satellite bus panels, beamline vessels and etch chamber bodies. What changes is the documentation and the people who know what to ask.
Every critical feature has a measured value, not a checkmark.
A dedicated 500 sq ft climate-controlled inspection room, independent of the production floor. Every tool calibrated per ISO requirements; every critical dimension verified before parts ship.
Straight off the Hayward floor.
Unstaged photos of real jobs: bridge-mill setups, UHV weldments, CMM inspections and finished assemblies.
A specialty shop's precision with a large-format footprint.
IMT Precision has run out of Hayward since 1994, growing from a small job shop into one of the largest CNC envelope capacities on the West Coast. Tesla, Sandia, Maxar, LLNL, Applied Materials, SLAC and Brookhaven come here when the part is big and the tolerance is tight.
