Frequently Asked Questions

Do you support ITAR-controlled programs?

Adams Maxwell is a U.S.-based manufacturer with all design and production in our California facility. We work with defense contractors including Raytheon and Moog on programs with strict requirements. Contact us to discuss your specific program needs and documentation requirements.

Can your machines handle multi-section winding for guidance systems?

Yes. Our 1250 Series programmable winders support up to 32 sequences with automatic section transitions, programmable dwell times, and full lot traceability. Ideal for resolver coils, synchros, and precision guidance system components.

Can your machines meet aerospace and defense traceability requirements?

Yes. We're ISO 9001:2015 certified with NIST-traceable calibration. Our automated winders (1250 Series) support full lot traceability with programmable recipe storage for up to 32 sequences. We provide complete documentation packages including certificates of conformance for program requirements.

What certifications does Adams Maxwell hold?

Our facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified with strict quality and compliance standards (ISO/UL standards). All calibration is NIST-traceable. We can provide complete documentation packages to meet specific program requirements for aerospace, defense, and medical applications.

What are your lead times?

Standard machines typically ship in 2-4 weeks. Custom configurations and special tooling may require 4-6 weeks. U.S.-based manufacturing means no overseas supply chain delays—we maintain inventory of common components to expedite orders when possible.
