Carbide Wear Components
Built for Harsh Field Conditions.
CPI manufactures precision tooling and wear components for agriculture and heavy equipment applications where durability, uptime, and reliability are critical. Built to perform in abrasive environments, under heavy loads, and through continuous operation.
Why CPI
If It Wears Out Fast,
We Make It Last.
CPI serves as an engineering-driven manufacturing partner for agricultural and heavy equipment manufacturers and their supply chains. We work alongside engineering, sourcing, and production teams to improve component durability, reduce lifecycle costs, and ensure reliable performance in harsh operating conditions.
With over 80 years of experience manufacturing precision carbide and wear components for demanding field environments, we understand abrasion, impact, contamination, and heavy load conditions. Tooling and components must perform consistently despite extreme wear factors — we engineer to those conditions, not around them.
When heavy equipment goes down in the field, it's expensive. CPI builds components engineered to delay that day as long as possible.

Industry Support
How We Support Agriculture & Heavy Equipment Programs
From engineering new wear-critical components to rebuilding legacy tooling that's no longer supported, CPI brings the expertise to extend equipment life in the harshest conditions.
Engineering
DFM for Wear-Critical Components
Design review focused on maximizing service life — evaluating geometry, material, and surface treatment options before a component goes into high-wear service.
Performance
Geometry Optimization for Service Life
Component geometry engineered to handle the specific abrasion, impact, and load profile of your application — not a generic spec applied without context.
Materials
Abrasion & Impact Resistance
Expert guidance on carbide grades, ductile alloys, and coatings for applications involving abrasive soil, rock, debris, and heavy cyclic loading.
Development
Prototype & Production Programs
From first prototype through production replacement programs — with engineering input throughout and documented specs for consistent results run after run.
Legacy
Reverse Engineering
Legacy components reverse engineered when the original manufacturer no longer supports the part — redesigned to match or surpass original performance specifications.
Troubleshooting
Failure Analysis & Redesign
Root-cause analysis when components are failing ahead of expected service intervals — identifying whether the issue is material, geometry, process, or application-driven.

Tolerances & Precision
Precision Machined — Even When the Application Is Anything But.
Even heavy wear components are manufactured to tight tolerances: ±.0002″ for grinding and EDM, ±.0005″ for milling and turning. Field durability starts with dimensional accuracy — and that starts in our shop, before the component ever sees service.
Quality & Reliability
Documented Quality for Components That Need to Perform Without Oversight.
Each department runs its own Keyence inspection devices, gauge pins, and comparators. Every job is inspected multiple times before final QC. Inspection data is serialized and stored indefinitely — so replacements are produced to the same standard every time, without revalidation.
