Glebe Engineering

read moreHaving recently moved to a new and improved site in Basford, Stoke-on-Trent, we at Glebe Engineering are excited for the future. Our vision is to provide high-quality precision engineering products to suit a wide range of requirements. Precision engineering will always be essential to meet the technical and technological challenges of the future. At Glebe Engineering, we relish the chance of taking on these challenges, adopting to new technologies and facing the future head-on. We aim to keep producing high-quality, meticulously machined engineering products well into the future.

This is the case with the Pharmaceutical industry, where extremely hard wearing components are essential to meet a challenging environment. As such, our extensive knowledge and experience with hard wearing materials makes us highly valuable manufacturers. We produce a range of specialist components for the industry, including fully manufactured and assembled gearboxes for extruder machinery.

We have CNC turning and milling machines with up to 5 axis machining capabilities to produce components in a large variety of materials, including aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, alloy steels and inconel. These capabilities allow Glebe Engineering to produce high quality components for a range of projects and industries. As a result, we provide high-precision products to customers ranging from motorsports industries including Formula One, vintage car and motorcycle restoration, to pharmaceutical, oil and gas industries.

We make a straight cut, dog engagement gearkit for the Borg Warner T5 gearbox, and many hundreds of these gearkits are competing in circuit racing, rallying and rallycross events around the globe. In addition we will design and manufacture bespoke gearkits for customers on a commission basis. At Glebe we are committed to producing the top-quality components for some big projects in the Motorsport industry.

read moreAt Glebe Engineering we use conventional machining for high precision component production. These classic technologies are used for rough machining, small batch work, fixture making and preliminary work. Ideal for the subtractive manufacturing of metals that are not particularly hard or brittle, such as aluminium or stainless steel, conventional machining has been a part of Glebe Engineering's production range since the very beginning. We operate a range of manual turning machines including Harrison 400 and 500 centre lathes and a Lacfer CRI lathe, all with Heidenhain digital read-outs.

At Glebe, we make use of this process to achieve complex shapes and excellent surface finishes for small work pieces and hard metals. Our machines offer extreme precision in producing components that cannot be worked using conventional methods. This technique complements the vast array of services provided by Glebe Engineering, and means that many components can be manufactured and assembled in-house.

read moreAt Glebe Engineering inspection is the final part of our manufacturing process. To maintain a high standard we ensure that all of our components are rigorously inspected for precision and workmanship. Our CNC CMM machines allow us to measure components down to a few microns, making sure all the components leaving our factory are completed to a meticulous standard. We use the latest CNC CMM machines and stress analysis software to measure our components to the highest level of accuracy. We operate a QCT Quantum 4 CNC CMM machine with a measuring travel of 615mm (X) by 650mm (Y) by 550mm (Z) and volumetric accuracy of 3.5 L/250m.
