Services
CNC Machining
We utilise advanced CNC turning and milling equipment with 3, 4, and 5-axis capabilities to produce low-volume, high-precision components. Our technology enables complex geometries and tight tolerances for industries requiring exacting standards. Clients benefit from rapid prototyping and scalable production runs tailored to specific needs.
Wire Erosion
Our wire erosion processes achieve intricate shapes and superior surface finishes for small or hardened metal components. This non-contact method ensures precision where conventional machining falls short, ideal for toolmaking and complex engineering projects requiring micrometer accuracy.
Gear Cutting
We offer comprehensive gear production including spur, helical, splining, and broaching services. Our machinery produces internal and external gears to exact specifications, supporting automotive, motorsport, and industrial applications requiring durable, high-tolerance components.
Conventional Machining
Traditional turning and milling techniques complement our CNC capabilities for prototyping and small batches. This approach maintains flexibility for bespoke projects while upholding precision, particularly for initial material shaping or unique repair work.
Component Inspection
All components undergo rigorous inspection using coordinate measuring machines (CMM) to verify dimensions down to microns. This ensures compliance with ISO 9001:2015 standards and client specifications, guaranteeing reliability for critical applications in sectors like oil and gas.
