Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services utilise advanced horizontal, vertical, and 5-axis milling centres to produce complex components with tolerances down to 0.005mm. We handle materials including stainless steel, aluminium, and titanium for industries requiring high-precision parts. Our 25 CNC machines provide over 250,000 annual production hours with automated pallet systems for continuous operation.
Sliding Head Turning
Specialising in sliding head lathe operations, we produce intricate turned components from 13mm to 42mm diameters with 0.01mm tolerances. Our Star CNC machines with sub-spindles enable simultaneous machining operations for complex geometries. This capability supports high-volume production of precision parts for medical and aerospace applications.
Quality Assurance
Our temperature-controlled inspection department employs coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and optical projectors to verify dimensional accuracy. Certified to AS9100D and ISO 9001 standards, we maintain rigorous quality control throughout production. We provide full traceability documentation for all manufactured components.
Prototype Manufacturing
We offer accelerated prototype development with 24-hour turnaround for urgent requirements. Our multi-axis machining capabilities enable production of functional prototypes matching final production specifications. This service supports design validation before full-scale manufacturing.
Surface Finishing
Our vibratory finishing processes achieve precision surface treatments for critical components. We employ automated systems for consistent results across stainless steel, aluminium, and exotic alloys. This includes anodising, bead blasting, and precision polishing to meet exacting aerospace and medical industry standards.
