Machines

A floor arranged the way a part flows.

Machines don't make parts; systems of machines do. Six machine groups run as one continuous route — material in one end, inspected components out the other — so nothing waits and nothing wanders.

Precision Milling

The core of the floor: 3, 4 and 5-axis simultaneous milling for complex geometries where the tolerance band is the specification. Programs are proven out on first articles, fixtures are engineered per part family, and in-process checks are written into the routing — accuracy designed in, not inspected in.

Typical work: housings · manifolds · impellers · mechanism parts · precision hardware

Working envelope & scope
Axes3, 4 & 5-axis, incl. simultaneous 5-axis contours
Tolerance classDown to ±0.01 mm on critical features
FixturingEngineered per part family, designed in-house
VerificationFirst-article inspection, in-process gauging, CMM report on request

Vertical Milling

CNC vertical machining centres carry the everyday precision work: prismatic housings, brackets, plates and fixture bodies. Fast setups, rigid clamping and a tool library kept measured and current make the VMCs the floor's workhorses for prototype and repeat batches alike.

Typical work: brackets · plates · housings · fixture bodies · enclosure frames

Working envelope & scope
MachinesCNC vertical machining centres, 3 & 4-axis
StrengthsQuick changeovers, prismatic accuracy, prototype-to-batch flexibility
ToolingPresetting & offset control from the tool room
Batch size1-off prototypes to medium-volume series

Horizontal Milling

Horizontal machining brings multi-face access in a single clamping — fewer setups, tighter face-to-face relationships and better chip evacuation on deeper cuts. It's the right geometry for boxy, multi-datum components and for repeat work where every re-clamp is a tolerance risk.

Typical work: gearbox & pump housings · multi-face machined blocks · repeat batch components

Working envelope & scope
ConfigurationHorizontal spindle with indexing work positioning
StrengthsMulti-face work in one clamping, heavier cuts, datum integrity
Best forHousings & blocks with related features on several faces
VerificationFace-relationship & positional checks per drawing

Turning Centres

CNC turning and turn-mill centres for shafts, bushes, flanges and every rotationally symmetric precision part — held over centres to single-digit-micron runout where the drawing demands it, with live tooling closing milled features without a second setup.

Typical work: shafts · bushes · flanges · pins · threaded & splined components

Working envelope & scope
MachinesCNC turning centres, incl. turn-mill with live tooling
RunoutTo 0.01 mm TIR over centres on critical diameters
FeaturesThreads, tapers, grooves, cross-holes, milled flats in one cycle
VerificationIn-process gauging, thread & plug gauges, final report on request

Drilling Centres

Dedicated hole-making capacity keeps the machining centres cutting what only they can cut. Drilling, tapping, reaming and counterboring run to positional tolerance on drilling centres — with peck cycles, through-coolant and hole-depth control for deep and clustered patterns.

Typical work: bolt patterns · dowel & reamed holes · tapped arrays · manifold drillings

Working envelope & scope
OperationsDrilling, tapping, reaming, counterboring, spot-facing
AccuracyPositional tolerance per drawing; reamed fits to H7
Depth controlPeck cycles & through-coolant for deep-hole work
VerificationPlug & thread gauges, positional checks against datums

Grinding

When the last microns matter — hardened surfaces, bearing seats, gauge-grade flatness — grinding finishes what cutting starts. Surface and cylindrical grinding hold size, form and finish beyond what milling and turning alone can promise.

Typical work: hardened shafts & seats · precision plates · fixture rails · gauge surfaces

Working envelope & scope
ProcessesSurface grinding & cylindrical grinding
FinishFine surface finishes per drawing callout (Ra)
MaterialsHardened & through-hardened steels, tool steels
VerificationSurface finish measurement, form & size verification

Behind the machines

The unglamorous things that keep dates

Capacity planning that leaves room for the unexpected. Preventive maintenance done on schedule, not after a breakdown. Backup power so a grid flicker doesn't scrap a five-hour cycle. Tooling and fixtures stored, indexed and retrievable for every repeat job.

None of it photographs well. All of it is why our delivery dates hold.
