Everyone knows

"The blue stuff don't break"

Established in 1994, ASM has always operated with one simple goal in-mind – to be the best customer driven, large capacity precision machine shop – period. We fabricate the highest caliber, most durable machinery on the market and supply major sawmills around the world. Advanced Sawmill Machinery is a proud member of the University of South Florida Safety Program.

Bigger is Better at ASM

ASM is a large capacity precision machine shop with CNC capabilities. We fabricate almost everything in-house. ASM has several large scale milling machines which are capable of machining large welded assembles, up to 6’x6’x22’ . Machining an assembly as one large piece allows us to build equipment that requires no internal shimming, alignment or adjustment.

Also part of the ASM facility is our Media Blasting Booth and Paint Booth. These allow us to prepare machinery for painting by removing mill slag and rust. Our paint booth allows us to spray a quality finish on the machinery while protecting the environment.

Experience You Can Count On

ASM understands the workings of a sawmill from the inside out. Besides producing precision machines, the ASM team has over 100 years combined experience working on the sawmill floor. This extensive understanding of the lumber manufacturing business is invaluable when it comes to pinpointing our customer’s needs, solving problems, and creating solutions to keep your sawmill running. We like to work in a close partnership with our customers to completely comprehend the needs as well as the wishes. ASM’s quality policy is to develop, produce and deliver ON TIME, products that meet or exceed expectations, keeping a close eye on price. Our experienced engineering department utilizes CAD software to design your equipment to fit, and ensure that each component has been evaluated and manufactured to work under the extreme stress. We also key our machine components to enable easy reassembly. Need a part for an old machine? No problem–ASM is fully capable of reverse engineering a piece of existing equipment and creating new CAD drawings to ensure you’ll always have parts in the future.

At ASM we design for the application while working with the controls group of your choice.  If you have a challenge, keep ASM in mind. We work very closely with our industry top performers.

ASM will evaluate a machine center and determine if it is cost effective to rebuild it. ASM has access to many resources that we can use to find used equipment. ASM provides a full one year warranty on all rebuilt machinery.

Having the right machine
for the right job

While other manufacturers may try to shoe horn your production
needs into whatever machines they have in their inventory, ASM custom engineers and manufactures machines to fit your requirements.

 

customized equipment minimizes shutdowns

ASM Engineering Department will start from zero and evaluate a production challenge then develop an idea or concept to meet that challenge. We will then perform a cost analysis using CAD software to determine if it is feasible to proceed with the development of a working prototype. From there we can turn the successful prototype into a final product. This can be completed in stages to fit most customers R & D budgets.
