Capabilities
23 CNC machines across sliding head turning, turning and milling, set up for high volume, repeat batch work. Robot loaded cells run lights out after two manned shifts, supported by CMM inspection and Sheffield sub-contract finishers.

Sliding head turning
With our six Star and Tornos sliding head lathes we produce complicated, high tolerance parts complete from bar up to 40mm diameter, in high volume repeat batches. We machine components in nickel alloys, stainless steel and titanium for chemical process and sub-sea equipment, and high integrity fasteners for the construction, offshore and military markets.

CNC turning
High volume turning is one of our core competences, from 3mm to 400mm diameter. Our Doosan DNT2600M mill-turn machines run in robot loaded cells, including a long part cell with a travelling steady and tailstock. We supply turned parts to blue chip organisations, directly and indirectly, for offshore oil fasteners, armoured vehicles, yellow goods, rolling mill consumables, geotechnical fasteners, rail and structural construction systems.

CNC milling
We supply high integrity milled parts for hydraulic and fluid transmission systems. Our Brother vertical machining centres carry out secondary operations on turned parts and machine brass and aluminium manifolds using multiple pneumatic vices. Our Hurco and Doosan machining centres have beds up to 1.5m x 0.66m, 50 taper spindles, through spindle coolant and Renishaw probing. A robot loaded Doosan Mynx 5400 cell machines rail components and a RoboJob loader feeds a Hurco VMX24i.

Project management
We manage our in-house machining and sub-contract commitments to deliver finished parts to the customer's delivery requirements. Long-standing Sheffield contacts for heat treatment, grinding, profiling and surface treatment mean the customer receives a finished part from one supplier. Our engineers use SolidWorks to offer design advice where a part can be made simpler or cheaper to machine.
