Precision Machining

A key factor that distinguishes Bergen Cable from other wire rope and cable assembly companies is our in-house machining capability. By utilizing the latest in CNC machining technology as well as tried and true, conventional machining methods, our machining operation produces all custom cable fittings and hardware in-house. Our in-house machine shop allows us to provide a high level of quality, improved lead times and pricing, and unparalleled customized solutions. To complement our machining capability, Bergen Cable partners with trusted vendors to offer secondary process such as plating, heat treating, painting, and testing. If your cable assembly design requires custom machined end fittings or if you need stand-alone precision machined components, please contact our sales department for further assistance.

CNC Swiss Screw Machining

Bergen Cable employs five axis CNC screw machines for the production of various components, which range from miniature to 20mm in diameter. Our CNC screw machines are perfect for producing smaller diameter components with complex geometries while maintaining tight tolerances. Small prototype quantities as well as large volumes of 100,000 pieces or more can be comfortably accommodated by our CNC screw machines.

CNC Turning

Our CNC lathes allow us to machine components up to 14.0” in diameter and up to 16.0” in length. For high-volume, non-stop production, our lathes are outfitted with bar feeders that can continuously feed materials up to 1.75” in diameter. To further assist with non-stop production, our CNC lathes are also outfitted with parts catchers and chip conveyors which help reduce downtime.

CNC Milling

Our super-speed vertical milling centers are a great complement to our CNC turning and screw machine operation. CNC mills are used to complete secondary machining operations for components that are produced on our screw machines or lathes as well as for the production of stand-alone milled products.

Precision Machining for Custom Cable Fittings and Components

Bergen Cable’s machining department plays a major role in our ability to deliver high performance cable assemblies and custom hardware. By combining modern CNC technology with proven conventional machining methods, we produce precision machined components that support a wide range of cable assembly designs. This in house capability allows us to maintain tighter control over quality, shorten lead times, and offer tailored solutions that match the exact needs of each project.

Integrated Machining for Cable Assemblies and Stand-Alone Parts

Our machine shop manufactures custom end fittings, specialty hardware, and components that interface directly with wire rope and cable assemblies. Because these parts are produced under the same roof as our cable assembly operations, we can ensure consistent fit, finish, and performance. When projects require additional processing, such as plating, heat treating, painting, or specialized testing, we work with trusted partners to deliver a complete, ready to use component.

CNC Swiss Screw Machining for Complex Geometries

Swiss type CNC screw machines allow us to produce small diameter components with intricate features and tight dimensional requirements. These machines excel at high precision work and can support both prototype quantities and large scale production. Their ability to maintain accuracy across long runs makes them well suited for miniature fittings, specialty connectors, and components used in motion transfer systems.

CNC Turning for Larger Diameters and High-Volume Runs

Our CNC turning centers accommodate larger diameters and longer part lengths, making them ideal for fittings, housings, and structural components. Equipped with bar feeders, chip conveyors, and automated part handling, these machines support continuous production with minimal downtime. This setup enables efficient machining for both short run and high volume requirements.

CNC Milling for Secondary Operations and Stand-Alone Components

Vertical milling centers complement our turning and screw machining operations by providing the capability to add milled features, flats, slots, and complex contours. These machines also produce stand alone milled components when a project requires shapes or geometries that cannot be achieved through turning alone.
