Services
Precision Machining
We specialise in precision machining of large components and complex sub-assemblies using advanced CNC technology. Our capabilities include multi-axis machining, large bore operations, and intricate tapping. With digital readout systems ensuring accuracy, we handle one-off productions and low-volume runs for demanding industrial applications.
Jigs & Fixtures
Our turnkey jigs and fixtures service supports welding, assembly, and machining operations. We design and manufacture custom tooling for commercial vehicle and earth-moving equipment manufacturers. This includes testing fixtures that ensure dimensional accuracy during production processes for critical components.
Boring
Utilising horizontal borers with digital readouts and 2.5-tonne lifting capacity, we achieve precise boring operations. Our CNC horizontal borer handles complex geometries while conventional machines support high-accuracy requirements. This capability enables us to work on medium-sized components with multiple bore specifications.
Milling
We offer milling capabilities through adaptable boring machines and a vertical machining centre. Our Bridgeport Turret Mill handles smaller components with slotting capabilities. This combination allows single-setup operations for boring, drilling, tapping, and milling, reducing production time for complex parts.
Turning
Our CNC centre lathes and conventional lathes handle diverse component configurations. Digital readouts ensure accuracy for exotic shapes and thread sizes. The vertical turret lathe complements our turning capabilities, supporting both large and small batch productions with strict dimensional tolerances.
