Marine Industry Machining

Marine Industry Parts Machining delivering ship-shape quality

Marine Industry Machining from CED plays an important role in keeping the today’s modern marine industry afloat. That’s because manufacturers of marine vessels and equipment trust the robust, corrosion-resistant, highly reliable machined parts we manufacture. These manufacturers also appreciate the respect and customer-first service that comes with them.

Marine Machining success through a quality commitment

At CED, we understand the importance of meeting the rigorous demands of Marine Sector Parts to ensure the performance and safety of aquatic vessels — and the crews that man them. We also know meeting these demands ensures the longevity of the equipment and systems those crews rely on. So CED’s expertise in high-precision CNC machining is complimented by our continual upkeep of quality-confirming certifications, and also our insistence on only using with the highest materials available to Machine Marine parts

Marine Parts at home on commercial vessels, pleasure craft, and on the water!

Our CNC machining capabilities really do make CED the perfect choice for small to medium-sized parts used in key-performance systems found on both pleasure water craft and working vessels. These include mechanical parts used in propulsion systems, steering systems, control linkage, marine-grade electrical systems, rigging, stanchions, and more. It also includes ergonomic controls and touch-point items where fit, finish, and appearance are as important as part strength and endurance.

CNC Industry Machining from CED can include:

• Bushings/ Bearings: For various pivot points, linkages, and rotating shafts in deck machinery, steering systems, or engine components.
• Flanges: Connecting sections of piping for fuel, cooling, ballast, and hydraulic systems on vessels.
• Machined Spacers and Shims: Used for precise alignment and load distribution in engine mounts, propeller shafts, and structural assemblies.
• Machined Nozzles: For fire suppression systems, wash-down systems, or exhaust systems.
• Marine Adapters and Couplings: Connecting different pipe sizes, hoses, or mechanical linkages throughout a marine vessel.
• Marine Equipment Mounting Brackets: Securing navigation components, lights, antennas, and various auxiliary systems to the vessel structure.
• Deck Plugs and Fittings: Simple, robust components for draining, accessing, or sealing openings on decks.
• Marine Valve Stems and Bonnets: Internal components for various fluid control valves found in bilge, ballast, and fuel systems.
• Prop Nuts and Spacers: High-strength, precision-threaded components and sleeves for securing propellers to shafts.
• Fairlead Rollers: Guiding ropes and cables smoothly on deck, requiring durable and precisely machined surfaces.
• Pump Impellers and Housings: For bilge pumps, engine cooling water pumps, or ballast pumps, requiring balanced and hydrodynamically efficient designs.
• Marine Engine Components: Such as specific covers, brackets, manifolds that require precision fit and finish.
• Rudder and Steering Components: Parts of the steering mechanism, including linkages, arms, and support structures, demanding high strength and precision.
• Sealing Glands and Stuffing Box Components: Critical parts for sealing rotating shafts (e.g., propeller shafts) as they pass through the hull or machinery spaces, requiring excellent surface finish and tight tolerances.
• Hydraulic Manifolds: Precision blocks with drilled passages to distribute hydraulic fluid for deck machinery, winches, or steering systems.
• Navigation and Communication Equipment Housings: Precision-machined, environmentally sealed enclosures for sensitive electronic components like GPS, sonar transducers, or radar units.
• Hydro-thruster Components: Housings, mounts, and internal structural parts for bow or stern thrusters, and small watercraft like jet skis.
• Winch Drums and Spools: For anchor winches, mooring winches, or towing winches, requiring robust construction and precise grooving.
• Propeller Hub Components: For controllable pitch propellers, these internal components dictate blade angle and require multi-axis machining for intricate geometries.
