Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling services utilize 3, 4, and 5-axis machining centers to produce complex components from aluminum, stainless steel, and engineering plastics. Using CAD/CAM software, we ensure sub-micron accuracy for aerospace and industrial applications. This capability allows single-setup production, reducing lead times while maintaining exceptional tolerances.
CNC Turning
We offer CNC turning with 3-axis centers featuring live tooling, enabling simultaneous milling and turning operations. Standard 2-axis lathes handle conventional turning tasks, producing precision shafts and cylindrical parts. This integrated approach minimizes handling and ensures dimensional consistency across high-volume production runs.
Spray Painting
Our in-house spray painting facility applies high-gloss, matte, and textured finishes to machined parts. We specialize in R.F.I. shield coatings for electronic enclosures, with masking capabilities to protect critical areas. All painted components undergo rigorous quality checks to meet military and industrial standards.
Quality Assurance
Equipped with a high-capacity CMM, we perform comprehensive dimensional inspections and generate detailed quality reports. Our ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 certified processes ensure traceability and compliance for critical aerospace and defense applications through systematic audits and documentation.
Anodising
We arrange normal and hard anodising in clear, black, or custom colors, alongside alternative treatments like electroplating and cerakote. These processes enhance corrosion resistance and surface durability for components operating in demanding environments, with strict adherence to specification requirements.
