Capabilities

Machining

We regularly machine non-ferrous alloys, mild steel, carbon & alloy steel, stainless steel, duplex and heat-resistant alloys including welded overlay. We are able to manufacture round components from 50mm dia. up to a maximum of 1200mm dia. and to a maximum length of 2 metres between centres. Our prismatic capabilities allow us to machine up to 2m x 1.5m x 0.6m.

Quality, Inspection & Testing

We invest heavily in the right tools, people and processes to measure and test the parts we produce. Our parts are checked in-process to ensure consistency during the production run followed by our final inspection process. We deploy a mixture of handheld inspection tools and our CNC CMM (Co-ordinate Measuring Machine and produce in-process and final inspection reports as part of our Documentation packs. When specified, we perform NDT testing for LPI and MPI.

Programming

We deploy offline and on-machine programming, undertaken by our trained, skilled and experienced machinists. All our machine tools are linked to our server allowing robust management of the many thousands of programmes that we have in our library.

ERP System

In common with many such businesses we deploy Progress Plus to manage our production system which starts with an initial enquiry all the way through to issuing our invoices. Every working day, quality machined components leave our site bounds for customers across the UK, often for forward shipping to global destinations. While our people, machine tools, plant and equipment are central to productivity, our qualities as a company are equally crucial in supporting our overall capabilities.

Agility

Careful and efficient scheduling allows us to deliver every one of our jobs on time. However, we can also be flexible and do our utmost to accommodate urgent requests from customers, without risking existing deadlines. Following upgrades to our software, we are equally comfortable with online and offline programming.

Capacity

Significant investment in machine tools in recent years gives us the capacity for most situations, normal working hours allows us a 2-shift dayshift/backshift system, however 24/7 working is possible for the most demanding of schedules.

Consistency

Completely confident in working with difficult materials, we strive to achieve consistency at the highest level for each one of our customers. Our ability to accurately predict how a particular metal will react under stress and having the knowledge and expertise to deal with that, allows us to offer a quality service where parts are always delivered within tolerance, as expected and on time.
