Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling services utilise 3-5 axis machines to produce complex components in titanium, aluminium, and stainless steel. With high-speed capabilities and large machining envelopes, we cater to low- to high-volume batches. Our in-house developed vac-chucking system enhances productivity and precision.
CNC Turning
We offer precision CNC turning for components up to 10-inch chuck capacity, using Fanuc-controlled machines and driven tooling. Our sliding head lathes enable cost-effective, high-volume production of intricate parts with automated 3m bar feeds and 8000 RPM spindle speeds.
Gear-Cutting
Specialising in gear-cutting since 1962, we manufacture internal/external gears, splines, and bevel gears up to 450mm. Our capabilities include broaching, slotting, and bespoke pulley production, supporting one-offs to large-scale orders.
Inspection Services
Our temperature-controlled inspection department employs Mitutoyo CMMs and profile projectors to ensure zero-defect compliance. We provide dimensional reports, first-article inspections, and SPC data to maintain aerospace and ISO9001 standards.
QCD Partnership
We collaborate with clients from design optimisation to delivery, focusing on quality, cost reduction, and OTIF performance. Our ERP systems and dedicated project teams ensure seamless execution across aerospace, defence, and industrial sectors.
