Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling services utilise 3, 4 and 5-axis machines with 1M machine beds and 12,000rpm spindles for high-speed metal removal. The 55-station Tuscan RC12 robot enables continuous 24/7 operation while maintaining extreme accuracy. We work from solid models using offline programming to produce complex components with tight tolerances for aerospace and industrial applications.
CNC Turning
Our CNC turning capabilities include 3 and 4-axis machines with C+Y axis functionality and driven tooling. With bar feeding up to 42mm diameter and 24/7 production capacity, we produce precision-turned components with complex geometries. The machines support simultaneous multi-axis operations for improved efficiency and dimensional accuracy in high-volume production runs.
Laser Etching
We provide laser etching services for permanent part identification including serial numbers, batch codes and logos. This non-contact process ensures precise traceability on finished components without compromising material integrity. The technology supports various font sizes and graphic requirements while maintaining surface quality specifications.
Heat Staking
Our heat staking process securely embeds threaded metal inserts into plastic components at controlled temperatures. This technique enhances thread strength in plastic parts while maintaining dimensional accuracy. The automated system ensures consistent pressure application and temperature control for reliable pull-out resistance in critical applications.
Final Treatments
We manage all subcontract final treatments through approved suppliers using Tricorn quality systems. Our project management covers plating, polishing and painting operations while maintaining delivery schedules. The integrated approach ensures consistent quality control across all finishing processes to meet exacting industry specifications.
