A few microns may be invisible to the eye — but in medical manufacturing, they can make all the difference. We know that our customers who manufacture components for precision medical devices are working with virtually no margin of error. A pin that’s off by a few microns, a wire…

Straightening jobs aren’t always straightforward. Sure, correcting a simple shaft or bar stock is manageable with your more basic (or even outdated) manual straightening systems. But when you’re dealing with geometrically complex workpieces like camshafts, turbine blades, surgical implant components, and other precision components, any margin for error practically disappears.…

At Mae-Eitel, we’ve worked with many manufacturers who currently only use manual straightening machines, wondering if their operations and volume levels justify the investment in automated straightening systems. Obviously, that conversation is going to be unique to every different manufacturer. So really, the only short answer is: It depends on…

For decades, MAE-Eitel has partnered with American medical manufacturers looking to scale up production. It’s not always so simple as increasing staff or machine count. Meeting high-volume requirements without compromising precision or consistency often demands new process engineering and automation. It’s on those two fronts that MAE-Eitel industrial straightening machines…

In 2026, American manufacturing faces a unique paradox: demand for precision metal components continues to grow, as does the demand for onshoring, while the workforce that makes such products continues to shrink. It’s no surprise that automation has become the central theme across industry headlines and tradeshows alike. In many…

When industrial straightening equipment becomes obsolete, whether it’s a fully automated system or a simple manual press, replacing it with modern technology is expensive and labor-intensive. However, operating inefficient machines in today’s environment also increases costs, labor requirements, and risks. Smaller, family-owned companies often face a disadvantage, lacking the necessary…

The consequences of inadequate inspection or improper repair of automatic straightening equipment extend well beyond a single machine failure and often cascade into operational, financial, and regulatory risk. MAE-Eitel presses, like most modern industrial equipment, are engineered with precise tolerances and load assumptions. Improper repairs, non-qualified welding, incorrect machining, or…
