Services
CNC Precision Milling
Our CNC milling services produce complex components with tolerances under 0.1mm. Using 2-3 axis machines, we handle projects from 1mm to 400mm diameter. Clients benefit from rapid prototyping and batch production for industries requiring high-precision metal and plastic parts.
UHV Tig Welding
Specialising in ultra-high vacuum standard welding, we create leak-tight chambers using stainless steel. Motorised turntables ensure precision in assembling flanges and tubes. This service is critical for scientific and electronics clients requiring contamination-free environments.
Helium Leak Checking
We perform helium mass spectrometer leak tests to validate vacuum integrity. This ensures components meet UHV standards, providing clients with reliable performance in sensitive applications like scientific instrumentation and semiconductor manufacturing.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Our ultrasonic baths remove oils and contaminants from precision parts. This process ensures components meet stringent cleanliness requirements for electronics and vacuum systems, maintaining functionality and longevity in critical operations.
Design & Build
From concept to completion, we develop bespoke jigs, fixtures, and test stations. Collaborating with clients, we address design challenges and optimise manufacturing processes, delivering tailored solutions that enhance production efficiency and product reliability.
