Services
CNC Turning
Our CNC turning services utilise advanced Mazak equipment to produce complex components with diameters up to 200mm. Capable of handling both small batches and one-off prototypes, we maintain tight tolerances for hydraulic, valve, and industrial applications. The integration of traditional engineering practices with modern technology ensures consistent quality and dimensional accuracy.
Bespoke Parts
We specialise in tailored solutions from design assistance to finished components. Our team modifies existing products or creates new parts using brass, aluminium, stainless steel, and mild steels. Post-operative treatments like anodising and powder coating are available through approved suppliers, ensuring complete project delivery to exact specifications.
CNC Milling
Equipped with Hurco VM10i CNC milling centres, we handle workpieces up to 660mm x 406mm x 508mm. Our capabilities include complex 3-axis machining with WinMax programming support. This service complements our turning operations, enabling comprehensive machining solutions for precision-engineered industrial components.
Prototyping
We support clients from concept to production with rapid prototyping services. Using CNC machining, we create functional prototypes for testing before full-scale manufacturing. This process reduces development time while ensuring design integrity through precise material selection and dimensional verification.
Precision Components
Manufacturing high-quality components for hydraulic systems, vacuum breach units, and industrial machinery. We work with ferrous and non-ferrous materials while complying with conflict minerals regulations. Our ISO9001:2015-certified processes guarantee consistent quality for critical applications across various sectors.
