Earl Industries, LLC

Earl Precision Tooling and Machining facility located on Chatauqua Avenue in Portsmouth, Virginia occupies a modern building situated on a 6-acre fenced secure lot. The temperature-controlled structure is divided into offices, for administration, sales and engineering, and the manufacturing facility. The manufacturing area includes a climate-controlled 400 sf inspection lab and a state-of-the-art 600 sf Wire EDM Room. Also in the manufacturing area is a unique Machine Project Facility where Engineering and Design Group brings together Engineers, Control System Technicians, and Senior Toolmakers to Prototype, Assemble and Manufacture E&D designed and engineered Automated Machine Tools. These Machine Tools are designed and made for a long list of customers including Alcoa, LifeNet, Siemens, GE, to mention a few. The balance of the manufacturing area houses Mills, Lathes, CNC Vertical and Horizontal Machining Centers, Automated Grinders and Saws, a Fabrication Area, and Shipping/Receiving.

Our exacting capability stems from utilizing the latest technology in Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machinery and a highly automated machine tool and die operation. Electrical Discharge Machine (EDM) workstations are regularly tasked with various operations that are a specific part of larger often highly complex assemblies. This equipment enables us to produce conductive metallic component parts of various sizes to the closest of tolerances and in a lights-out production environment.

The Division’s diverse lathe and milling machine centers enable the production of a wide variety of component parts via the most current Computer Aided Drafting / Computer Aided Machine (CAD-CAM) software and programming techniques available. Our programmers routinely utilize CAD-CAM software to import CAD models from our drawing vault to the various EDM and CNC machining centers within the complex.

Conversational and G-code programming is also accomplished by machinists and toolmakers on the CNC machines. Traditional lathe and milling machine operations are available if needed for the project requirements at hand.
