3D Cad/Cam Programming

  • Fully 3 dimensional programming.
  • Able to import any drawing file type directly into our software.
  • Both CNC mills and CNC lathes run the same software so we can quickly and easily program complex parts and export directly to the machines.
  • All our CNC operators are highly experienced programming and machining complex 3D components.

Machine Building

Examples include:

  • The manufacture of a developmental CECAP (Continuous Equal Channel Angular Process) Machine. Weighing over 66 tonnes and requiring large components to be precision machined, we constructed, tested, transported and installed the unit.
  • The construction of a full assembly line for the production of the glass front and rear windscreens for the latest Toyota Camary. This project involved fabricating the frames, machining all the parts together with assembly and integration with pneumatic and electrical control systems.
  • The design and construction of fabric processing machine for a local company involved in the medical industry. This machine is required to operate at high temperatures using hydraulic and electric motors controlled by PLC.
  • The construction of a new production line, for an explosives company, which required specialised non-static materials and emergency systems.


Refurbishment

  • We are experts at refurbishing valves of all shapes and sizes up to 1600mm inside diameter shown below. The body and cap castings of this valve weigh over 11 tonnes. We replace the shaft and nut to raise and lower the gate, replace all the bronze wear strips, re-assemble, re-paint and test.
  • We are expert at refurbishing high capacity pumps. All inspection, assessment, refurbishing and testing is carried out in house.
  • We also refurbish gearboxes of all shapes and sizes. Shown in the photo is a gearbox from the mining industry. This example rotates a 9 meter long shaft with large heavy paddles and hence needs to be refurbished and checked to a very high standard to cope with the high amount of torque and difficult operating environment.
  • We are experienced at the refurbishment of specialist machines of unique design for either production or workshop work.
