Services
CNC Turning
Our CNC turning services utilise advanced multi-axis lathes to produce complex cylindrical components with exceptional accuracy. We handle workpieces up to 28" diameter and 120" in length, maintaining tight tolerances for critical applications. This capability supports high-volume production runs while ensuring consistent quality across all manufactured parts.
5-Axis Machining
Our 5-axis CNC milling technology enables simultaneous machining across five axes, achieving complex geometries unattainable with conventional methods. This advanced capability reduces setup times by 40% while maintaining 0.005mm tolerances. We produce intricate components for subsea and offshore energy applications requiring superior precision and reliability.
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling services handle complex components with high-speed machining centres capable of 3D contouring and multi-sided operations. We work with materials including stainless steel, titanium, and exotic alloys to produce components up to 2000mm in length. This capability supports both prototype development and large-scale production requirements.
Manual Machining
Our manual machining capabilities complement CNC operations for specialised applications requiring operator expertise. We maintain legacy equipment including Harrison lathes and Bridgeport milling machines with digital readouts for precision. This service supports repair work, small batch production, and legacy component manufacturing.
Full Turnkey Service
Our comprehensive turnkey service covers design, machining, inspection, and logistics under ISO 9001:2015 quality management. We provide complete project management from initial concept to final delivery, including material sourcing and subcontracted coatings. This integrated approach ensures traceability and accountability across all production stages.
