Services
CNC Machining
Our advanced CNC machining capabilities include horizontal/vertical milling, multi-axis turn/milling, and EDM processes. We produce complex titanium and steel components with tolerances measured in microns, supporting aerospace and medical device applications. With 52 dedicated CNC machines across two UK facilities, we ensure dimensional stability under extreme conditions.
Product Development
We specialise in transforming conceptual ideas into manufacturable designs, particularly for technically challenging applications. Our engineers collaborate with clients to refine legacy systems and develop innovative solutions, as seen in our work on space telescope casings and fibre optic components.
Quality Assurance
Our ISO 9001:2015-certified quality path includes comprehensive inspection using coordinate measuring machines, contour analysis, and geometric measurement equipment. We validate every process and product to meet AS9100:REVB and customer-specific requirements for critical industries.
Cost Optimisation
We implement lean manufacturing principles to reduce material waste and improve efficiency while maintaining precision. Our engineers develop innovative process routes that balance cost-effectiveness with the exacting standards required for aerospace and medical applications.
Sub-Assembly Production
We produce complete sub-assemblies for complex systems, including optical telescope casings and flow control valves. Our capabilities extend from single components to integrated systems requiring multiple machining processes and strict conformity standards.
