What we offer

JKeys combines 5-axis CNC machining, fiber laser cutting, press brake forming, CNC routing, finishing, part marking, and dimensional inspection in one responsive Houston-area shop for quick-turn prototypes, short runs, and repeat production.

Quick-turn manufacturing support from first article through repeat release.

5-Axis CNC Milling

Complex machined parts, fixtures, housings, plates, and tight-tolerance components produced in-house on a Brother Speedio U500XD1 — from first prototype through repeat production.

  • X 19.7" × Y 15.7" × Z 11.8" travels
  • 16,000 rpm BBT30 spindle
  • 28-tool magazine · 1,000 psi TSC · probing

Laser Cutting & Forming

Flat and formed sheet-metal components for prototypes, short-run production, and repeat orders using in-house fiber laser cutting and CNC electric press brake forming.

  • 5 × 10 ft fiber laser
  • 20-ton electric CNC press brake
  • 600 mm bend length

CNC Routing

Large-format CNC routing for profile cutting, nested production, fixture work, sheet goods, plastics, composites, aluminum, and gasket materials.

  • 4 × 8 ft routing capacity
  • 24,000 rpm HSD spindle
  • Plastics, composites, aluminum, gaskets, and sheet goods

Finishing & Part Marking

Coordinated finishing, part marking, and post-processing for machined, routed, laser-cut, and formed components, including jobs that need outside process control and repeatable documentation.

  • Anodize, chem film, passivation, plating, and powder coat
  • Laser engraving, silkscreen, labels, and serialization
  • Deburring, tumbling, bead blasting, and hardware insertion

Inspection & Quality

Inspection-focused production support with in-process checks, documented final inspection, and a Discovery D12 CMM with PH20 head for high-precision dimensional verification.

  • Discovery D12 CMM with PH20 head
  • In-process and final inspection
  • ITAR-registered · CMMC Level 1

Manufacturing support for aerospace, defense, R&D, and hardware teams.

We support engineers, buyers, and program teams that need clear communication, print review, DFM feedback, repeatable execution, and production support as demand grows.

Aerospace, defense, R&D, robotics, medical hardware, electronics, and industrial programs.

Aerospace & Defense

Machined brackets, test fixtures, sheet-metal components, controlled-document workflows, and prototype-to-production manufacturing support.

Robotics & Automation

Plates, guards, end-effector parts, routing fixtures, formed panels, and fast-turn mechanical hardware for automation builds and production equipment.

R&D / Hardware Teams

Prototype iteration, DFM feedback, mixed-process parts, and practical support as designs move from first articles into repeatable production orders.

Medical & Laboratory Hardware

Lab hardware, small assemblies, brackets, covers, panels, and clean technical components for medical, laboratory, and research equipment.

Electronics & Test Equipment

Enclosures, front panels, mounting plates, test fixtures, connector panels, and repeat sheet-metal, routed, or machined components.

Industrial Equipment

Production fixtures, guards, plates, nested sheet work, replacement components, and repeat parts for machinery, tooling, and industrial equipment.

Prototype-to-production manufacturing support.

Technical parts and programs where responsive review, multi-process capability, repeatability, and inspection discipline matter more than lowest-piece-price sourcing.

Built for programs where quality, communication, documentation, and schedule matter as much as unit cost.
Designs that are still changing and need fast iteration
Parts that require multiple processes handled by one shop
Hardware programs that need fast response on prototypes and reliable execution on repeat orders
Controlled work requiring ITAR-compliant handling and documentation
Low-to-mid volume runs given full priority

From first article to repeat production

Practical support for technical work that changes quickly and still has to ship correctly.

Fast feedback on manufacturability, process selection, tolerance risk, and inspection approach

One shop for CNC machining, laser cutting, forming, routing, finishing, marking, assembly, and repeat production

Responsive support from prototype builds through repeat production once designs stabilize
