Earth Moving Components
We manufacture critical components for earthmoving equipment including buckets, stabilizer legs, and linkage fulcrums. Our precision engineering ensures durability in extreme conditions while meeting exact dimensional tolerances. With 30+ years supplying major yellow goods manufacturers, we maintain 0.025mm accuracy through advanced CNC machining and robotic welding systems.
Precision Engineering
Our precision engineering services produce components to minimum permissible dimensional tolerances. Using ISO-certified quality control and advanced measuring equipment, we guarantee compliance with international standards. The facility maintains 0.025mm machining accuracy and 0.1mm laser cutting precision across 6,000m production space with 2300 annual steel tonnage capacity.
Robotic Welding
We employ Panasonic robot welders for consistent, high-quality fabrication. This automated system ensures repeatability across high-volume production runs while maintaining strict quality standards. Our robotic welding integrates with CNC machining and laser cutting systems to deliver complex assemblies meeting heavy industry requirements.
Bespoke Engineering
We provide tailored engineering solutions for unique component requirements across multiple sectors. Our design team collaborates with clients to develop specialized parts that meet specific operational demands. This service combines traditional fabrication skills with modern manufacturing technologies to deliver one-off or small-batch components without compromising quality.
Laser Cutting
Our Trumpf and Bystronic laser systems achieve 0.1mm cutting tolerances for complex metal components. This non-contact process ensures clean edges and precise dimensions across various steel thicknesses. The laser cutting service integrates with our fabrication and machining capabilities to deliver finished parts ready for immediate use.
