Services
5-Axis Machining
Our advanced 5-axis CNC capabilities enable complex component manufacturing across multiple industries. Using Hurco machinery, we produce precision parts from metals and plastics with tight tolerances. This technology allows simultaneous machining from all directions, reducing setup times and improving dimensional accuracy for intricate geometries.
CNC Milling
We offer 3-axis CNC milling services for prototyping and production runs. Our Hurco milling centres work with aluminium, stainless steel, and engineering plastics to create precise components. The DFX-compatible workflow ensures rapid quoting and efficient production cycles for both simple and complex parts.
CNC Turning
Our CNC turning services handle both one-off components and batch production. Using modern turning centres, we produce cylindrical parts with exacting tolerances from various materials. This process supports secondary operations like drilling and tapping to meet diverse engineering requirements.
Assembly Work
Beyond machining, we provide assembly services for completed components. This includes integrating machined parts into functional units according to client specifications. Our capabilities extend to quality checks and packaging for ready-to-use assemblies across different industries.
Drilling Services
We offer drilling and tapping operations as part of our comprehensive machining services. Using CNC equipment and manual tools, we create precise holes and threaded features in various materials. This capability supports both standalone requirements and as part of complete component manufacturing.
