V-Lake Industries is a Buffalo, NY-based precision machining, manufacturing, kitting, and assembly company with more than 30 years of industry experience.

V-Lake Industries is a Buffalo, NY-based precision machining, manufacturing, kitting, and assembly company with more than 30 years of industry experience. The company provides precision CNC machining, engineering and design support, component manufacturing, kitting, sub-assembly, and complete machine assembly, helping customers move projects from prototype and individual components through finished, packaged equipment.

V-Lake's precision machining capabilities include CNC milling, CNC turning, and CNC routing for simple through complex components. The company works with a variety of metals and plastics and supports customers requiring prototypes, custom components, replacement parts, and recurring production work.

CNC milling capabilities include 3-axis machining for both 2D and 3D components with a maximum work envelope of approximately 50 inches long by 26 inches wide. Milling materials include aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and plastics.

CNC turning capabilities include facing, threading, knurling, drilling, boring, reaming, taper turning, and live-tool machining. Equipment capabilities include C-axis and Y-axis machining, sub-spindle operations, and bar-feed production. Turning capacity extends to approximately 10 inches in diameter and 18 inches in length. Materials include aluminum, steel, brass, and plastics.

CNC routing capabilities include a 5-foot by 10-foot table for machining and routing plastic materials, providing additional capacity for larger-format components and fabricated plastic parts.

V-Lake also provides machine kitting and assembly services. Its assembly department manages machine component kits, machine sub-assemblies, and complete machine builds. Components can be manufactured directly on V-Lake's production floor or purchased and coordinated through outside vendors. Finished equipment is assembled to customer specifications, packaged, and shipped to its final destination.

This combination of machining and assembly allows V-Lake to serve as a turnkey manufacturing partner. Customers can consolidate component manufacturing, purchased parts, inventory coordination, assembly, packaging, and shipping through a single supplier rather than managing multiple individual vendors.

Additional value-added services include plating and heat-treatment coordination through qualified outside vendors. Available processes include anodizing, Alodine conversion coating, nickel plating, zinc plating, passivation, and heat treatment. On-site capabilities also include stud welding and tumbling.

V-Lake has experience designing and building complete automated equipment. Its engineering team has developed medical- and food-grade dispensing machines as well as automated beverage equipment, demonstrating capabilities that extend beyond individual machined components into integrated mechanical systems and production machinery.

The company's KACM-1000 beverage system is an example of its complete machine-building capabilities. The automated three-head filling and seaming system incorporates mechanical design, fabricated and machined components, automation, touchscreen HMI controls, adjustable fill parameters, and integrated machine assembly.

V-Lake's combination of precision machining, engineering, component sourcing, assembly, and machine-building capabilities makes the company particularly well suited for OEMs and manufacturers looking to outsource complete assemblies or equipment rather than purchasing individual machined parts alone.
