Complex parts, cut in five axes.

Impellers, thin-wall housings, multi-face components — machined and measured by one team. Low to medium volume, from a single prototype to a few thousand pieces. Quoted within 24 hours.

What we machine

Six processes under one roof, so a part that needs three of them doesn't cross three factories.

Five-axis milling 3+2 · simultaneous

Both modes are available. Indexed 3+2 for angled faces and compound features in a single setup; simultaneous contouring for sculpted surfaces — impellers and bladed geometry included. The two are quoted differently, so tell us which the part actually needs.

Turn-mill mill-turn

Turning and milling in one setup. For parts that mix a turned body with milled flats, slots or cross-holes, this removes a second fixture and the error stack-up that comes with it.

Partner processes one-stop

Wire EDM, Swiss-type turning, stamping, laser cutting, bending, springs, injection moulding, overmoulding and the full range of surface finishing run through long-standing partners — declared up front, and inspected by us before anything ships.

Complex geometry multi-face · thin wall

Multi-face components, thin walls, deep pockets, tight corner radii. The goal is always fewer setups — every re-clamp is a chance to lose position.

Low to medium volume no MOQ

One piece or a few thousand. Prototype runs and production batches use the same inspection regime, so the first article and the last one are held to the same standard.

In-house metrology CMM · 20±2 °C

CMM, 2.5D vision, profile projector, roughness and concentricity instruments, plus pin gauges 1–12 mm in 11 sets and thread gauges down to M1.2 — all inside a climate-controlled room. Measuring close to the machine means a drift gets caught while the setup is still on the table.

Beyond machining. Through long-standing partners: wire EDM, Swiss-type turning, automatic lathe, stamping, laser cutting, bending, springs, injection moulding, overmoulding, horizontal boring, and the full range of surface finishing — anodising, chemical conversion coating, plating, electroless plating, heat treatment, painting and PVD. These are declared up front, and every part is still inspected and shipped under our own quality system.

03

Quality

How a part is checked, from the first cut to the last carton.

Inspection is a chain, not a stamp. Measuring every dimension of every part in a CMM would double the price of most jobs — so inspection is graded to the feature instead.

Step 01

First article release

Before every batch, and again after every machine change. A bad setup never becomes a bad batch.

Step 02

Patrol every 3 hours

Dimensional checks while the run is live, so drift is caught before it compounds across the batch.

Step 03

Critical dimensions, 100%

The features that decide whether the part works are gauged one at a time, not sampled.

Step 04

Final acceptance, AQL

Non-critical features sampled at 20% — and if any part fails, the whole batch is inspected. Acceptance standard: AQL 0.65–1.0.

Environment Metrology room held at 20 ± 2 °C
Calibration Annual external plus in-house checks every three months
Reporting A dimensional inspection report — CMM and other instruments — ships with every batch — standard, not an add-on
Certification ISO 9001:2015 — first certified November 2023, scope: hardware parts processing
Delivery 94% of orders ship on the date confirmed in writing before the run
Non-conformance Contained, measured and reported before any rework is quoted

Where our parts end up

Production experience, stated as experience — not as a certified scope.

Sector

Medical devices

Housings, fixtures and internal components. Machined to print, with first-article records available on request.

Sector

Aerospace parts

Structural and bracketry-type components. Stated as production experience; no AS9100D is held.

Sector

Industrial automation

Machine frames, mounting plates, sensor housings and custom fixtures in low to medium volume.

Sector

Robotics & motion

Joint components, gearbox housings and lightweight structural parts, often in aluminium.

05

Selected work

Part features, not customer names. Every line below is a job we ran.

6061-T6 · 0.8 mm fins · 5-axis simultaneous

Thin-wall heatsink housing

Fins held to 0.8 mm without chatter, bored and profiled in one five-axis setup. Flatness verified on the CMM before anodising.

303 stainless, non-magnetic · Ø12 mm · Swiss-type

Instrument barrel

Slender turned body with a through bore and external thread. Run on sliding-head lathes to hold concentricity across the full length.

304 stainless · turn-mill, single setup

Connector body

Cross holes and milled flats cut on the same machine as the turning, so the bore-to-flat relationship never depends on a second fixture.

7075-T6 · 3+2 indexed · anodised after machining

Compound-angle bracket

Angled faces indexed in one programme rather than re-fixtured per face. Datum scheme agreed with the customer before the first cut.

06

How an order runs

Four steps, no account required, no minimum order.

Step 01

Send the drawing

STEP, IGES, X_T or a PDF with tolerances marked. If the part has critical features, tell us which ones — it changes the process route.

Step 02

Quote in 24 hours

Price, lead time and the process route we intend to use. If something in the drawing will drive cost, we say so before quoting.

Step 03

First article

Measured and sent for your approval before the batch runs. Production only starts once you sign off.

Step 04

Production & inspection

Run under the patrol and final-acceptance regime above. Inspection records and a dimensional inspection report — CMM and other instruments — ship with every batch.

Ships with every batch A dimensional inspection report — CMM and other instruments — with every batch. Standard, not an add-on.
Before the run First article measured and sent for your sign-off. Production starts only after you approve.
If a part is out Contained, measured and reported before any rework is quoted. No silent substitution.
On the clock 94% of orders ship on the date confirmed in writing. If a date comes under threat, you hear it from us first — not after the ship date has passed.
