Services
Laser Profiling
Our Bystronic laser cutter handles sheet sizes up to 3m x 1.5m with thickness capacities of 20mm stainless steel, 25mm mild steel and 12mm aluminium. This technology enables high-accuracy cuts with intricate detailing for complex components. The computer-controlled process ensures consistent repeatability while maintaining cost-effective production rates for both prototyping and volume manufacturing.
CNC Brake Press
With 180-tonne capacity and 3.1-metre bed length, our CNC brake press delivers precision sheet metal bending and forming. Advanced control systems guarantee dimensional accuracy and repeatability across thickness ranges from 0.5mm to 20mm. Custom tooling options provide design flexibility for creating complex geometries while maintaining tight tolerances for industrial applications.
Welding & Fabrication
Specialist TIG, MIG and ARC welding capabilities support fabrication of stainless steel, aluminium and exotic alloys. In-house developed jigs ensure precise component alignment while experienced technicians maintain industry-approved finishes. We handle complete fabrication projects from raw material processing through to finished assemblies with anti-corrosion treatments and powder coating options.
Grinding & Polishing
Our 60+ years collective experience delivers precision surface treatments including satin finishing, mirror polishing and bead blasting. Electro-polishing and passivation processes enhance corrosion resistance while meeting exact dimensional specifications. Traditional techniques combined with modern equipment ensure consistent quality across diverse material types and project requirements.
CAD/CAM Design
Integrated CAD/CAM solutions convert client sketches into production-ready DXF files using latest software. Our designers collaborate closely with clients to optimise manufacturability while maintaining design intent. The digital workflow enables rapid prototyping and seamless data transfer to manufacturing systems, reducing lead times and minimising errors during production phases.
