Laser

Laser cutting with our fibre optic lasers is faster than Co2 machines. With the fibre optic laser, it gives us the scope to cut different materials also the capability to cut smaller holes in thicker materials. Cutting material like Brass and Copper is not a problem on our machines. As standard, we cut with nitrogen on all our mild steel up to 3mm. If required, we can cut up to 6mm mild steel with nitrogen, this is upon request.

Waterjet

Why water jet cutting?

We have a state-of-the-art water jet cutting machine which is capable of cutting any material up to 150mm thick. The machine also benefits from a two meter by four-meter bed. Examples of materials which can be cut include stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass, wood, ceramics, concrete, plastics, nylon, rubbers, foams.

Water jet over laser?

  • The water jet has many benefits over conventional laser profiling methods:

  • There is no heat affected zones, as it is a cold process.

  • There is no tool contact, and therefore no edge deformation.

  • Materials up to 150mm thick can be profiled.

  • Virtually any material can be cut.

  • No tooling cost.

  • Secondary cleaning operations are reduced or eliminated.

  • Little to no burr.

  • Capability to cut extremely detailed geometry.

  • Very little side force is placed on the material whilst cutting, allowing delicate parts to be cut.

  • With water jet machines you have a choice of the level of edge quality you require.

Router

Our router machine, equipped with a dynamic head, can cut many different materials, such as plastics, wood, aluminium composite panels, amongst others. Please enquire for further information.

The router can cut a maximum sheet size of 4000 x 2000, with a maximum of 50mm thickness. The router compliments our waterjet cutting machine, and greatly expands our options.

Trumpf 1000 CNC punching system with load and unload capabilities. There are many functions this can perform from punching / tapping / forming and many more functions.

From a 1 off to batch quantities no problem.

Quick and cost-effective

The TruPunch 1000 processes sheet sizes upto 3000 x 1500 with up to 600 strokes per minute.

Exceptionally versatile

The TruPunch 1000 excels with sophisticated functions and tools.

Automatic loading and unloading including SortMaster

The SheetMaster Compact provides reliable loading and unloading. The SortMaster removes and sorts parts from the sheet the optimum way.

Dynamic and environmentally conscious

Scanning

With our Peel 3 scanner we can scan objects from hand made parts to machined items and bring them into our software. This then enables our CAD team to reverse engineer the items to our customers’ requirements.

Or

if our Customers just wants the items scanned we can then supply them with the scan. We can export the files in many different formats.

CAD Design

Our cad design team can draw up from supplied paper drawings templates to designing an item working closely with our customers to achieve their goal. Working with various software packages from Inventor, Trumpf boost and Radan we have most things covered.

Rumbling

This is an operation that removes sharp edges off components which is a wet process. The items are then rinsed and the passed through our drying system. Rumbling improves the overall look of a component also helping with other process such as plating or powder coating.
