Precision Machining
Our recent investment in our machining capabilities allows us to offer a better service for your machining or tool making requirements.
As manufacturers of injection mould tooling, precision machining is a defacto requirement for us. Machining of plastics through to high quality tool steels and with all the equipment and experienced staff to fulfil your requirements.
What is Precision Machining?
In precision machining, the excess of a larger piece of material is used to manufacture a smaller piece of material. Material removal procedures are used to change the large piece, so that the smaller piece will be a perfect fit for the desired area and will carry out its task to the highest standard. A wide range of machinery is utilised to deliver the results, with the materials coming in many different forms.
CNC Process
Over the years, technological advancements have made it easier to create even the most complex parts. Materials used in precision machining include wood, metal and plastic. Precision machining is largely based on the Computer Numerical Controlled or CNC process. Numerical control is used to control tools like grinders, mills and lathes. The margin for error is removed by computers. Once the design is loaded to a computer, the manufacturing work begins. It only takes a small amount of time to produce materials which would otherwise require a number of steps.
A wide range of materials
We use a wide range of manufacturing materials to create the items our customers require. These include metals, elastomers and thermoplastics in various grades. These materials include ABS, aluminium, brass, carbon steel, copper, mild steel, nylon, PVC, stainless steel and titanium, to give just a few examples.
Advantages of Precision Machining
When you opt for precision engineering to manufacture products, you can reduce or remove the risk of human error. We use highly-advanced numerically-controlled machines and can offer swift turnaround times to assist customers with strict deadlines. We can speed up the process without making compromises on quality and can supply you with precise, flawless results every time. The solutions that we provide make your company more efficient, with our processes keeping waste to a minimum, enabling you to make a better contribution to the environment.
