Services
CNC Machining
We utilise advanced 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC machining to produce complex, high-precision components. Our capabilities include turning, milling, and multi-axis operations for industries requiring exacting tolerances. This service ensures superior accuracy and repeatability for critical applications.
Wire Erosion
Our wire erosion technology achieves intricate shapes and fine surface finishes in hard metals. This non-contact process is ideal for small, complex components that conventional methods cannot handle. It guarantees micrometre-level precision for demanding engineering projects.
Gear Cutting
We provide comprehensive gear production, including spur, helical, splining, and broaching. Our machinery ensures precise tooth profiles and dimensional accuracy for transmission systems. This service supports automotive, motorsport, and industrial equipment sectors with durable, high-specification gears.
Conventional Machining
Traditional turning and milling techniques complement our CNC capabilities for prototyping and small batches. This method allows flexibility in material selection and cost-effective production. It remains integral to our workflow for bespoke or low-volume requirements.
Inspection
Components undergo rigorous inspection using coordinate measuring machines (CMM) to verify tolerances down to microns. This ensures compliance with ISO 9001:2015 standards and client specifications. Our quality assurance process guarantees defect-free delivery for critical applications.
