JD Machine protects precision production with Torus

JD Machine has been making precision parts since 1979. Today, the company runs a 60,000-square-foot facility in Pleasant View, Utah, with 220 employees and a 99.5% customer satisfaction rate on mission-critical programs across aerospace, defense, medical, and energy. JD Machine partnered with Torus to stabilize the power feeding their CNCs and EDMs, protect against the summer brownouts disrupting production, and bring their electricity costs under control.

1. Six brownouts in one summer  halted production on high-value EDMs, with up to three hours to recover from each event 
2. In 2024, an outage damaged a CNC machine, resulting in significant  replacement costs and lost revenue 
3. CNC mills, lathes, and electrical discharge machines draw heavy current during startup and operation, creating sharp demand spikes that raise utility charges during peak production hours

1. 250 millisecond response and up to 15 minutes of battery backup per meter, keeping EDMs and CNCs online through voltage dips and outages
2. Voltage correction that protects equipment from the conditions that cause premature failure and recurring repair costs
3. Reduced demand spikes from production runs and equipment start-ups

JD Machine is expanding in 2026 and will add production lines and load to the Pleasant View facility. Torus is modular and scales alongside growth, adding capacity and peak load management as new lines come online.  This means the same power-quality and cost protections extend to every part of the operation, on day one and as the company grows.
