Services
CNC Milling
Our 3-5 axis CNC milling centres produce complex components with tolerances down to 10 microns. Using automated robotic loading and in-process inspection, we handle batch sizes from prototypes to high-volume production. The latest CAD/CAM systems ensure accurate programming directly from customer models, maintaining dimensional accuracy across materials including stainless steel, aluminium, and engineering plastics.
CNC Turning
Multi-axis CNC turning with sub-spindles and Y-axis capability enables complete machining in single operations. We produce turned components up to 2 metres in length with tight tolerances, using twin-spindle machines for simultaneous front-and-back machining. Our capabilities include complex geometries in stainless steel, copper alloys, and exotic materials for aerospace and defence applications.
Quality Assurance
AS9100-certified quality systems include CNC CMM inspection directly against solid models, automated optical inspection using Keyence systems, and Renishaw in-process measurement. We provide full material traceability and inspection documentation, maintaining a 99.99% quality level with 4-monthly performance reviews and continuous improvement initiatives.
Project Management
Dedicated project managers oversee complete manufacturing packages, coordinating in-house machining with partner services including heat treatment, welding, and specialist finishing. We offer JIT stock management and kitting solutions, ensuring seamless integration of components into customer assembly processes while maintaining strict delivery schedules.
Prototypes
Our prototype service supports rapid design validation with quick-turnaround machining of one-off components. Using the same production equipment as volume orders ensures accurate representation of final parts, with design-for-manufacture advice to optimise cost-effectiveness before full production ramp-up.
