Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling capabilities handle complex 3-axis surface machining with 4th Axis integration. Using Mastercam CADCAM software and machines like the XYZ 1010 Vertical Milling Centre, we achieve high tolerances for components up to 1000mm x 500mm. This service supports aerospace and marine industries requiring precise geometric specifications.
CNC Turning
Specialising in diameters from 3mm to 560mm, our CNC turning services utilise Hurco TM8i and XYZ SLX555 Proturn machines. Capable of handling 1m lengths and batch sizes from prototypes to medium runs, this service caters to oil & gas sector components requiring tight dimensional control.
Manual Machining
Complementing CNC operations, our manual machining includes cylindrical, centreless, and surface grinding. With equipment like Jones and Shipman grinders and a 50 Tonne Power Press, we handle specialist tasks requiring hands-on precision for complex geometries and heat-treated components.
Quality Inspection
Our ISO 9001-certified inspection department uses Faro Gage Arm technology for reverse engineering and tolerance verification. Providing dimensional reports and First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR), we ensure compliance with customer drawings through UKAS-calibrated equipment maintained to ISO standards.
Sub-contract Engineering
Offering end-to-end sub-contract solutions for small to medium batches, we support sectors like MOD and aerospace with complete machining packages. From CADCAM programming to final inspection, our service includes material sourcing, process planning, and logistics coordination for complete project management.
