Aircraft panels These items have been machined from solid aluminium billets using our vertical milling centers. We have experience in handling pure aluminium and its alloys such as aluminium-lithium alloy for use in the aerospace industry.

Prototypes

We are always happy to carry out prototype work no matter how small and will machine one offs such as this fixture to the left offering a short turn around. We can also assist with material selection and tooling and provide consultation regarding best techniques and processes.

Intricate Detail

Our experienced team has the skill and expertise to handle small and complex parts that are often difficult to hold and require milling through multiple planes. This component required two custom jigs to hold the piece in place during the machining process.

Acrylic, Perspex & Nylon

We are capable of machining a wide range of plastics, examples of which include cast nylon for bearing and bush applications, Nylon '6', '11' or '66' for electronic and electrical applications and polyethylene & polypropylene for a wide range of other industries .

Powder Coating

We arrange powder coating and finishing services for our clients. Powder Coating can be done in a range of colours, thicknesses and finishes including matt and gloss, depending on requirements.

Turning & Boring

We offer turning on our Mazak QT 250 upto 250mm diameter and 1000mm in length. This includes boring, reaming, threading, tapping and knurling. The items you see here are made of stainless steel and demonstrate our ability to machine small scale items.

Castings Machining

We do a lot of work on cast aluminium parts and fabrications. These items were shipped direct from the foundry and machined to customer requirements.

Specialist Materials

This complex part has been made from an aluminium alloy box tube, machined and then given an anodised finish. We work closely with the client to ensure that their designs are practical, and feasible to machine by applying our years of experience in consultation with the design engineers.

Pre-Treatments

This item has been machined, black anodised and then machined again to provide a clearly distinctive appearance and to improve the seating of the final fitting.

Complex Parts

These axis and cogs have been machined from a solid aluminium billet and assembled. They are made from high strength aluminium alloy and machined to a tolerance of ±0.05mm.
[top]

Large Capacity

We offer a large capacity envelope of 2.2m x 5.6m x 7.2m with a lifting capacity of 1000kg. The largest of these items to the right weigh 800kg and are used as anti vibration mounts for offshore drilling heads in the petrochemical industry.

Aluminium

These lightweight aluminium items are typical of the high volume jobs we fulfill on a regular basis. Compared to most CNC machining specialists in the area we handle a significantly higher volume of aluminium parts than most and have considerable experience working with aluminium and its alloys.
[top]

Exotic Materials

We work with a broad range of materials such as steel, mild steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, and titanium, plus many other exotic materials. The images to the right show cast gun metal items with machined faces and associated fixings.

Heat Treatment

We offer a heat treatment service to our clients. These components demonstrate the before and after for two mild steel components.
