Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services utilise advanced Star Sliding Head lathes to produce complex components with tolerances up to 0.01 C-Axis control. We handle materials like stainless steel, brass, and Inconel, catering to aerospace and medical sectors. ISO 9001:2015-certified processes ensure quality from prototype to high-volume batches.
Sub-contract Manufacturing
We provide end-to-end sub-contract manufacturing for industries including automotive and oil & gas. Our capabilities span sliding head machining up to 42mm bar capacity, supported by in-house quality inspection using Sylvac-Scan F60 technology. Clients benefit from fast turnaround times and global delivery networks.
Sliding Head Machining
Specialising in sliding head machining, we offer precision turning for complex geometries with capacities up to 42mm. Our Star SR32J and SR-38 machines ensure accuracy in high-volume production. This method reduces process time while maintaining exceptional tolerances for sectors like defence and electronics.
Quality Inspection
Our quality inspection services employ state-of-the-art equipment like the Sylvac-Scan F60 for 2D part analysis in under 3 seconds. This ensures compliance with ISO 9001:2015 standards, minimising scrap and enhancing productivity. We use digital height gauges and Mitutoyo micrometres for verification.
Prototype Production
We deliver prototype production using flexible CNC programming to validate designs before large-scale manufacturing. This service supports clients in sectors like medical devices, enabling cost-effective testing of components in materials such as Peek and super duplex.
