Services
5th Axis Technology
Our 5th axis machining enables production of complex geometries through multi-angle precision milling. This technology reduces setup times and human error while improving surface finish quality. Clients benefit from faster turnaround for intricate components used in high-specification industries.
CNC Milling
We utilise CNC milling for high-speed, repeatable production of components with tight tolerances. Our machines operate 24/7 for batch consistency while maintaining dimensional accuracy. This service suits clients requiring complex parts with reduced scrap rates.
Multi Axis Turning
Our Swiss auto lathes produce small precision components with exceptional surface finish. The machines enable 'lights out' manufacturing for economic high-volume production. Clients gain consistent dimensional control due to constant temperature operation.
Quality Control
We implement full traceability protocols using calibrated CMMs, micrometers, and gauges. Every component undergoes goods-in, in-process, and final inspection stages. Clients receive documented reports for critical quality verification.
Anodising
Our in-house anodising plant provides durable surface finishes for aluminium components. This integrated process eliminates third-party delays while ensuring cost transparency. Clients benefit from controlled material handling and faster project completion.
