At Norton Manufacturing
Company we machine top quality crankshafts for engines, pumps, and
compressors. We work with
forgings, castings, and billets to precision machine crankshafts in
sizes up to six feet in length.
At Norton Manufacturing
Company, our machinery is not just dedicated for a certain configuration
of crankshaft. Each machine
is capable of being setup on a wide variety of styles; from a four
cylinder crank to a 12 cylinder crank, without sacrificing the quality
of the part. CNC Mills, grinders, lathes, and polishing tools are used to ensure the finest precision and accuracy when machining a customer’s part. Quality Assurance is not just a title at Norton Manufacturing Company, it’s the way we do business. Every machined part receives the strictest scrutiny from the first operation through the last. "Operators, inspectors, supervisors, and managers alike take part in assuring that the parts our customers receive meet Norton’s high quality standards, standards high enough to have enabled us to meet and exceed the TS14949 registration." Norton Manufacturing
utilizes state-of-the-art inspection equipment to assure that accuracy
and precision are not compromised, and that the quality of each
characteristic is maintained. That
is why we have been producing quality machined products for over 50
years. Our computer-based
metrology system assures that our gages are maintained at optimal
performance condition and are traceable to NIST standards.
Scheduled Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility studies (GR&Rs)
insure consistent readings are obtained and customer specifications are
met. Norton Manufacturing
practices Statistical Process Control (SPC) to assure capability and
control of our processes. Continually
monitoring our processes provides advanced warnings that enable us to
predict and alter the course of processes before any defective product
is produced.

Although
the largest volume of Norton crankshafts are produced for the automotive
industry, Norton produces cranks for farm equipment and aircraft engines
as well.
Norton
has the ability to rebuild or retool virtually all crankshaft machinery,
no matter where in the world it was originally manufactured.
