Wehrli Custom Fabrication Levels Up with DN Solutions DVF 5000

MTDCNC recently took note of a major machinery upgrade at Wehrli Custom Fabrication, a leader in the design and manufacturing of high-performance diesel truck components. Located in DeKalb, Illinois, Wehrli has carved out a national reputation for crafting top-tier parts for Duramax and Cummins platforms—known for power, reliability, and uncompromising quality.

Now, with the addition of a DVF 5000 5-axis machining center from DN Solutions, Wehrli is adding even more horsepower to its in-house manufacturing capabilities.

The DVF 5000 is a compact, high-speed 5-axis machine engineered for precision and flexibility. It’s built for manufacturers who want to tackle complex geometries in a single setup—ideal for custom turbo housings, intricate intake manifolds, and precision-machined brackets that require multi-axis movement. Its rigid structure, high-speed spindle, and automatic tool changer make it perfect for reducing cycle times and improving surface finish—critical in high-performance applications.

“This machine is a game changer for us,” said the team at Wehrli on their Instagram post. “It’s opening up new possibilities for part design and streamlining our process like never before.”

Behind the scenes, Ellison Technologies provided full support, from machine selection to installation and training. Their hands-on expertise ensured Wehrli hit the ground running with the new platform.

MTDCNC sees this as more than just an equipment upgrade—it’s a reflection of Wehrli’s ongoing commitment to quality, innovation, and U.S.-based manufacturing. The DVF 5000 not only allows for greater design freedom and tighter tolerances but also brings added production capacity to meet growing demand.

As the performance diesel market continues to grow, Wehrli’s investment in cutting-edge technology like the DVF 5000 positions them to stay ahead—delivering exceptional parts, built right, every time.
