Manufacturing Timely, Cost Effective Turned Parts

One of our differentiators is our ability to deliver cost effective machining solutions with industry leading turnaround times. We do this by deploying the most appropriate technology to our customer’s requirements:

  • Low batch size or prototype work with smaller diameters, can be supported through our CNC Lathes
  • Larger diameter, more complex parts through the use of our Turn Mills
  • High volume parts with diameters up to 38mm benefit from the ‘lights out’ running of our Sliding Head Technology.

Working to Tight Tolerancing

As our team manufactures parts for multiple industry sectors we are able to adhere to a broad range of quality requirements and tolerancing. Accuracy wise our machinery can turn parts to 0.002mm. As we are experienced operators we are able to validate the parts have been manufactured to drawing, we do this by providing industry leading inspection reports covering industry specific and your own customer requirements.
