Services
CNC Turning
Our CNC turning services produce high-accuracy components using advanced lathes. We cater to aerospace, defence, and industrial sectors, ensuring tight tolerances and complex geometries. Clients benefit from reduced lead times and consistent quality for critical applications.
CNC Milling
CNC milling capabilities handle large-scale and intricate parts, including 3D-machined link arms and precision shafts. Our equipment supports materials like stainless steel and aluminium, meeting defence and mining industry demands for durability and precision.
Fabrication
We provide custom fabrication for structural and mechanical components, supporting projects in heavy haulage and water treatment. Our processes integrate with machining services to deliver fully assembled, ready-to-deploy solutions.
Inspection Service
Using coordinate measuring machines, we verify dimensional accuracy and reverse-engineer parts when needed. This ensures compliance with client specifications and industry standards, critical for safety-sensitive sectors like mining.
Manual Machining
Manual machining complements our CNC capabilities for prototyping and low-volume production. Skilled operators handle one-off components, such as hydraulic cylinders, maintaining precision where automation is impractical.
