For 65 years, L.A. Gauge Company (LAGC) has set the standard for ultraprecision machining and optics, delivering on time the most reliable, complex, and critical hardware for the aerospace, defense, and nuclear industries. Holding machining tolerances of 40 millionths of an inch and optical flatness to 20th wave, LAGC is committed to delivering to the market American Precision At Its Best. LAGC is best known for precision machining of a wide array of metals. It is a top fabricator of beryllium, aluminum beryllium, titanium, aluminum, inconel, silicon carbide, and other metals. The company has a deep history in precision machining. Founded in 1954, it operates in a 30,000+ sq. ft. environmentally controlled manufacturing facility next to Burbank Airport in Los Angeles. It began as a precision gauge manufacturer and soon expanded into fabricating aerospace components using exotic metals and ceramics. In 2007, it further expanded its capabilities to polish metal optical components. Today LAGC maintains state-of-the-art machining capabilities , including CNC 5-axis milling, CNC turning, electron discharge machining (EDM), CNC jig boring, O.D. grinding, lapping, and planetary optical polishing. The facility has a working Metrology Laboratory with temperature and humidity controls and a Class 100 Laminar Flow Clean Room for LOX cleaning and assembly solutions. L.A. Gauge Company strives to continuously improve and lead innovation in lean manufacturing practices. It continues to be the one-stop-shop for the most stringent machining requirements for all major aerospace companies, including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics.
