As a function of our ability to manufacture some of the largest mill equipment, I2S has grown to include a large and diverse manufacturing facility capable of handling your large scale work from start to finish. We are able to provide complete machining services such as boring, milling, turning, grinding, welding and fabrication. As we strive to provide you with complete service, we can also handle everything from design, materials, assembly and final paint. Our 125 ton overhead crane in our main assembly bay is among the largest indoor cranes in New England providing the lifting capability necessary to move large material effectively. Take advantage of our capabilities and experience. Let us show you how our contract machining services are the perfect combination of large capacity machine tools, modern control systems, expert craftsmanship and project coordination. Please contact us to discuss any project. BIG or small.

I2S has the largest engineering staff of all U.S. mill builders. With over 1000 years (combined) of experience in the mill industry, our employees have worked for the following mill companies: Sendzimir, Waterbury Farrel, Fenn, Ruesch, Loewy, Fagersta Steel (Sweden), Salem Stainless Steel (India), Ulbrich Stainless Steel, Chase Brass, American Brass, Scovill Brass, Century Brass, Stanley Steel, Torin Company, Cold Metal Products, Superior Steel, HMSS Sczopience (Polish Brass), Republic Steel, SMS, Wean, and Tippins Machinery.
Over 30% of our staff is engineering. Our engineering staff is comprised of professionals specializing in software, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, coolant and structural design. Equipped with some forty CAD stations, which are networked together, each engineer, designer and drafts person has a precision drawing tool in their hands. Access to all the drawings for a given project is provided by our Windows based computer network. This facilitates precision engineering and ensures the accurate implementation of design changes on each project.
Mechanical engineering personnel are grouped by equipment categories to allow them to exchange knowledge and operate efficiently in a single area. The project leader is fully supported by members of specific groups which focus on designing and detailing of systems such as hydraulics or coolant. Members from all of these areas join to form a team for the duration of each project.
A team of two electrical engineers (project coordinator & backup) is assigned to each project. This combining of experience and talent results in continually improving designs and innovations to increase productivity and safety on our mills.
Each I2S mill is custom designed around your needs. In the design process we employ the newest computerized geometric element analysis (GEA) technology. Solid modeling is used to make accurate predictions in mill components such as: mill housings, winder shafts, rolls, etc.. GEA allows exact geometries to be modeled accurately. The data derived from the analysis enables the engineer to identify critical areas of the part and compensate in the design to achieve the acceptable stress and deflection values for its application. I2S engineering means quality equipment designed for longevity and safety.
