Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling capabilities include 11 vertical machining centres with 4th axis and 5-sided machining. Using Doosan, Haas, and XYZ machines under 5 years old, we produce complex components from plastics, aluminium, brass, and stainless steels. The service supports aerospace and medical sectors with tight tolerances and surface finishes.
CNC Turning
With 9 CNC lathes including Akebono and Romi machines, we handle turning requirements up to 230mm chucking. Our bar feed and live tooling facilities manufacture precision shafts and components for automotive and industrial applications. The service integrates with CAD/CAM systems for dimensional accuracy.
Project Management
We coordinate outsourced processes like heat treatment and surface finishing through approved suppliers. Using ERP systems, we manage production schedules and quality checks for complete component supply chains. This service reduces client procurement complexity while maintaining quality control.
Reverse Engineering
Using SolidWorks and precision measurement equipment, we create CAD models from physical samples. This service enables cost reduction and faster lead times for legacy parts. We support clients needing replacement components without original design data.
Inspection
Our inspection service uses manual and CNC Mitutoyo CMM machines for dimensional validation. We provide 3D printed reports and certificates of conformity for aerospace and medical components. The service ensures compliance with customer specifications and industry standards.
