Services
CNC Punching
Our fully automated CNC punching service utilises high-speed systems capable of 1000 hits per minute. Robotic tool changes and 24/7 operation ensure rapid production with minimal downtime. This precision process handles complex designs efficiently for components up to 25mm mild steel.
CNC Laser Cutting
Advanced CNC laser cutting delivers fast, accurate cuts in materials up to 15mm stainless steel. Fully automated 24/7 operation enables rapid turnaround. The system handles intricate geometries with tight tolerances for prototyping and large-scale production.
Powder Coating
We provide durable powder coating finishes in multiple colours with Nordson electrostatic technology. The service includes silk screen printing and complementary electroplating options like zinc plating and anodising for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Product Design
Our design team uses Radan CAD/CAM software to optimise manufacturability early in development. We offer 2D/3D visualisation and electronic data transfer to streamline production. This collaborative approach reduces costs through efficient construction methods.
Ladder Guards
Custom ladder guards restrict unauthorised access with secure padlock systems. Available in aluminium, stainless steel, or galvanised materials, these units feature hazard warnings and require no specialist tools for installation by a single operator.
