Services
Precision Engineering
Our precision engineering services combine advanced CAD/CAM software with multi-axis machining capabilities. We handle complex aerospace components from initial design through to delivery, maintaining tolerances within 0.001mm. The service includes process validation and lean manufacturing techniques to ensure optimal efficiency and quality.
CNC Machining
Offering 5-axis milling and turning capabilities with automated production cells. Our CNC machining service handles materials including titanium and inconel alloys for aerospace applications. With 28,000rpm spindle speeds and EROWA pallet systems, we achieve high-precision components for critical flight systems.
Surface Coatings
Providing specialist surface treatments including anodising and chemical processing. Our Nadcap-certified coatings division ensures aerospace components meet strict corrosion resistance and wear performance requirements. Services include plating, painting, and advanced surface finishing techniques.
Quality Inspection
Comprehensive quality control using CMMs, FARO arms, and non-contact laser scanning. Our inspection service covers dimensional verification to AS9100 standards, with traceable calibration and statistical process control. We maintain
Apprenticeship Training
Four-year indentured apprenticeship program covering machining, assembly, and quality engineering. The scheme combines college education with hands-on experience across all manufacturing departments. Graduates achieve NVQ Level 3 qualifications alongside practical skills in CNC programming and aerospace standards.
