Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling capabilities handle complex components up to 1300mm x 650mm using high-speed and heavy-duty machines. Specializing in aerospace-grade materials like titanium and inconel, we maintain 0.005mm tolerances. This service supports small batch prototyping through to high-volume production runs.
5 Axis Milling
Using Lehmann trunnion tables and Lang Makrogrip vices, our 5-axis milling reduces setups by machining five faces simultaneously. This technology enables precision complex geometry components for aerospace and medical sectors with improved surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
AS9100 Aerospace Approval
Our AS9100D accreditation ensures aerospace manufacturing meets stringent quality standards. Through dual ISO 9001 certification and BAE Systems approval, we guarantee traceable processes and documentation that satisfy demanding aerospace sector requirements for flight-critical components.
CAD Design
We offer CAD design support using Edgecam Designer for fixture creation and part modification. Accepting multiple file formats including STEP and IGES, our designers bridge the gap between customer specifications and manufacturing requirements for seamless production integration.
Assembly Services
Our assembly department handles precision insert installation through to complete sub-assemblies. With clean, organized workspaces and 20% of projects requiring assembly, we provide value-added services like kitting and kanban stocking to streamline customers' supply chains.
