Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services utilise advanced 9-axis multitasking machines for complex components. With Okuma lathes and machining centres, we achieve tight tolerances up to 0.001mm. This computer-controlled precision ensures consistent quality across prototypes and large production runs.
Precision Machining
Specialising in turning, milling, and drilling operations, we produce custom metal parts with exacting specifications. Our capabilities include 250mm diameter sawing and 340mm through-bore machining. Quality checks at every production stage guarantee dimensional accuracy and material integrity.
Quality Assurance
Our multi-stage quality system begins with material verification against supplier dockets. First-off inspections by dual machinists ensure process accuracy. Final parts receive rust-proofing treatment and traceability tagging with job-specific identifiers for complete production transparency.
Prototype Machining
We support research and development projects with custom prototype manufacturing. Our team works directly with client drawings to produce test components, offering feedback on design feasibility. This service enables clients to validate concepts before full-scale production.
Light Fabrication
Our welding and fabrication services include silver soldering and structural assembly. With dedicated welding tables and skilled technicians, we create custom metal frameworks and components. This capability complements our machining services for complete engineering solutions.
