Goldthorpe, South Yorkshire

Precision CNC machining in South Yorkshire since 1984.

We machine finished components on sliding head lathes, turning centres and milling machines, in materials from brass and steel to nickel alloys, stainless steel and titanium. Our shift pattern and automation suit us to high volume, repeat batch work.

Capabilities

We specialise in high volume, repeat batch work: scheduled parts called off month after month. Most components leave our machines finished. Where a part needs heat treatment, plating or grinding we use long-standing Sheffield sub-contractors, and we inspect the finished part before it is delivered.

All capabilities

Automation

Six Fanuc robots load our lathes and milling machines, so the cells keep cutting after the manned shifts end. Two manned shifts run from 6am to midnight during the week, and the robot cells run lights out.
