Services
Precision engineering
Our precision engineering services combine advanced CNC technology with traditional machining techniques to produce complex components. We work with metals and alloys to exacting tolerances for aerospace, defence, and industrial applications. Our capabilities include prototyping, batch production, and tooling refurbishment.
Press toolmaking
We design and manufacture precision press tools for metal forming and stamping applications. Our toolmaking services support automotive and industrial clients requiring durable, high-precision tooling solutions. The process includes CAD design, material selection, and rigorous quality testing.
CNC milling
Our CNC milling capabilities handle complex 3D shapes and intricate geometries using Hurco and Induma machining centres. We process components up to 2000mm in size with tight tolerances. The service includes both prototype development and volume production runs for various industrial sectors.
Wire erosion
Wire erosion services utilise Robofil machines to cut complex shapes in conductive materials without contact. This non-traditional machining method achieves tight tolerances for hardened steel components. Applications include die-making, aerospace parts, and precision tooling.
Grinding services
Surface and cylindrical grinding services ensure dimensional accuracy and superior surface finish for precision components. We use Jones & Shipman grinders for flat surfaces and cylindrical parts, maintaining tolerances within 0.001mm. The process prepares components for final assembly or further machining.
