Services
CNC Turning
Our CNC turning services produce cylindrical components with diameters ranging from 5mm to 400mm. Using advanced twin-turret, twin-spindle machines, we achieve tolerances as tight as 0.01mm. This process enables simultaneous machining operations for increased efficiency and accuracy.
Vertical Machining
Vertical machining capabilities handle components up to 500x1000mm using static fixtures and overhead tooling. Our multi-axis milling centres create complex geometries with high precision. Bespoke in-house fixtures ensure secure holding of uniquely shaped workpieces during machining.
Quality Assurance
Comprehensive quality control includes Mitutoyo coordinate measuring machines and Baty optical imaging equipment. We provide inspection reports, certificates of conformity, and PPAP documentation. Our ISO 9001-certified processes ensure compliance with international standards.
Component Finishing
We offer surface treatments, deburring, and polishing to meet functional and aesthetic requirements. Our services include kan-ban supply systems and stock holding for production continuity. Full traceability is maintained through documented post-machining processes.
Batch Production
From prototyping to high-volume runs, we optimise production cycles for cost efficiency. Our CNC machines handle bar-fed continuous machining up to 3m lengths. We process customer-supplied materials and maintain strict quality controls across all batch sizes.
