Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services utilise the latest computer numerical control technology to produce complex metal components with exceptional accuracy. Operating in a dedicated manufacturing centre, we maintain tolerances within 0.001mm for critical engineering applications. This capability supports industries requiring high-precision parts for medical devices, automotive components and industrial equipment manufacturing.
Laser Profiling
Advanced laser profiling enables precise sheet metal cutting for intricate designs and complex geometries. Our automated systems handle materials up to 6mm thickness while maintaining edge quality and dimensional accuracy. This technology supports rapid prototyping and production runs across multiple industry sectors including telecommunications and scientific instrumentation.
CNC Punching
High-speed CNC punching operations deliver cost-effective production of sheet metal components with consistent quality. Our automated turret presses handle sheet sizes up to 1.5m x 3m with multi-tool capabilities for complex hole patterns and formed features. This process optimises material usage while maintaining production efficiency for medium to high-volume orders.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Comprehensive fabrication services cover cutting, bending, welding and assembly operations for complete sheet metal solutions. Supporting production volumes from single prototypes to large batch runs, our workshop handles materials including steel, aluminium and stainless steel. Quality control measures ensure compliance with engineering specifications across all project sizes.
Design & Programming
Integrated design and programming services provide technical support from concept development to production-ready manufacturing files. Using 3D CAD/CAM software, we optimise component designs for manufacturability while maintaining functional requirements. This service ensures seamless transition from customer specifications to finished products through digital process validation.
