Burns Gauge & Machine

Burns Gauge & Machine, located 25 miles west of Nashville off of I-40 was built on service and customer satisfaction. Customers have come to depend on BG&M to help solve their production problems. Whether they need precision-machined components in high volumes for production, specialty tooling & components, special machines and fixturing, we have the equipment and resources. Our customers have come to take advantage of and depend on our commitment of 24 hours of service. We have eight CNC machining centers used for production and machining components for our gauges, tooling components, weld fixture components, and special machines. This along with our full compliment of manual machines helps us meet tight deadlines and still do it for a competitive price. Our customers include many of Middle Tennessee's largest manufacturers.

Engineering

We have an in-house engineering staff that utilizes the highest level of design software including AutoCAD, PRO-Engineer and Solidworks. We have the capability to convert Unigraphics files to PRO-Engineer Files, and can read IGES, Catia, and DXF files. We have a programmable Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) with PC-Demis measurement software. In addition, we have 3D digitizing capabilities for reverse engineering needs. With these things combined, our capabilities are second to none. Whether our customer needs black box designs or reverse engineered solutions, we can handle it all.

Special Machines and Fixtures

We have extensive experience designing and building custom manufacturing and assembly equipment for various industries. Our special machines include robotic MIG spot welding cells and stand alone weld cells. For example, we have manufactured various assembly, heat stake, and inspection fixtures. Also, we have manufactured custom machines with automatic feeding of components to injection mold presses, weld cells, and custom routing/plane equipment for the log home industry. We have built various types of press support equipment to improve productivity and reduce production cost including lubricant spray cabinets, automatic steel coil shears, custom exit conveyors, and container shuttle conveyor systems for part removal.

Checking Fixtures

Utilizing our expertise in precision machining along with a focus on quality design, we have become one of the South's premier gauge shops. We have built thousands of checking fixtures for companies throughout the country. Our unique approach to designing and manufacturing check fixtures has made our gauges some of the most sought after in industry.

Production

We have a full array of CNC machining centers. Our CNC lathes include tailstock, bar feeders, sub-spindle and live tooling, while our CNC mills (vertical and horizontal) include tool and pallet changers for high production machining of both large and intricate components while holding tolerances to microns. Utilizing PRO-Manufacturing and Esprit software, our programming capabilities allow for both short and long production runs for our customers.

Custom Tooling

Our CNC machining equipment, wire EDM, abundant manual machining equipment, and 3D digitizing capability allows us to provide production tooling and replacement details for the metal stamping, casting, and plastics industry. Our CNC gear cutting capability allows us to provide the replacement of any custom or standard gears with short lead times. Integrating our engineering capabilities with our equipment allows us to handle most new tooling needs including any engineering changes that industries may require.
