Services
Precision Machining
We produce precision-engineered components using advanced CNC technology for industries requiring exact specifications. Our capabilities include turning, milling, and complex assembly work. With ISO 9001-certified processes, we ensure dimensional accuracy within microns for critical applications in medical and instrumentation sectors.
CNC Turning
Our CNC turning services utilise Nakamura and Hardinge machines with twin spindles and Y-axis capabilities for complex geometries. We handle bar capacities up to 65mm with automated feeding systems for consistent quality. This service supports high-volume production while maintaining tight tolerances for aerospace and automotive components.
Quality Control
We implement comprehensive quality control with co-ordinate measuring machines and data-led traceability. Every component's material origin and production process are documented. Custom inspection reports are available on request, meeting requirements for regulated industries like medical device manufacturing and aviation.
Prototype Development
We support product development from concept to production with prototype machining services. Our engineers collaborate with clients to refine designs before full-scale manufacturing. This service includes material testing and process optimisation to ensure scalability for batch production requirements.
Assembly Services
We provide integrated machining and assembly solutions under one roof for complex multi-component systems. Our facilities handle precision assembly of machined parts with quality checks at each stage. This service reduces supply chain complexity for clients requiring fully tested end-use assemblies.
