CNC Milling removes material with rotating cutters under precise multi-axis computer control, producing complex prismatic or sculpted parts with positional accuracy to ±0.005 mm and surface finishes ≤ Ra 0.4 µm. Machines span 3-axis vertical mills, 4-axis horizontals with pallet changers, and full 5-axis trunnion or gantry platforms, supporting everything from rapid prototypes to lights-out production in metals, plastics, and composites.

CNC Milling

Performs 3-axis milling with programmable 4th-axis indexer for multi-face machining in one setup (non-simultaneous).

4-Axis CNC Milling (Indexing)

Material-removal process performed on horizontal-spindle machining centres (HMCs). Workpieces are fixtured on pallets or tombstones; the horizontal orientation promotes gravity-assisted chip evacuation and permits simultaneous 4th-axis indexing for multi-face machining in one setup.

Horizontal CNC Milling

Creates deep core details, ejector slots, and sharp interior corners in die steel by spark-erosion where conventional milling cannot reach.

Sinker EDM

CNC Turning uses computer-controlled lathes to rotate bar, billet, or cast blanks while single-point cutting tools remove material. The process excels at producing concentric OD/ID features, tapers, threads, grooves, and complex contours with tight positional accuracy. Modern CNC lathes support live tooling, Y-axis interpolation, sub-spindle part transfer, and bar-feed automation—enabling complete, high-volume production of precision cylindrical components in metals or plastics.

CNC Turning

Large-Diameter CNC Turning focuses on parts whose swing exceeds standard lathe capacity—typically 330 mm (13 in) or more. Specialized heavy-duty spindles and wide-gap beds allow accurate rough- and finish-turning of large flanges, rings, and housings while maintaining concentricity and surface finish comparable to standard CNC turning.

Large-Diameter CNC Turning

Precision turning of slender shafts whose length-to-diameter ratio typically exceeds 15:1. Uses between-centres support (live/dead centres, programmable steady rests) and vibration-damped tooling to maintain ≤0.05 mm TIR over metre-scale workpieces. Typical applications include power-generation rotors, down-hole drilling mandrels, aerospace actuators, and automotive drive shafts.

Long-Shaft CNC Turning

Fixture Assembly involves putting together various metal components to form a complete unit. This can include methods like welding, riveting, and using threaded fasteners to ensure precise and durable fixture construction for manufacturing setups.

Assembling

Installs PEM inserts, Helicoils, bushings, and similar hardware so parts ship assembly-ready.

Light Mechanical Assembly

Interference Fits rely on tight dimensional tolerances, forcibly fitting one part into another for a robust, friction-based lock (e.g., shafts and hubs).

Fixture Assembly

Laser Engraving uses a laser beam to etch or mark a surface, widely used for serial numbers, logos, or intricate designs. Favored for speed, precision, and non-contact marking in both industrial and creative fields.

Laser Engraving

Welding and Joining processes fuse metal parts together using heat, pressure, or both. Common methods include MIG and TIG welding, soldering, and brazing, providing strong, reliable joints for structural and industrial applications.

Welding and Joining

Explosion Welding uses controlled explosives to bond metals, creating a high-velocity impact that can fuse even dissimilar alloys.

Explosion Welding

Ultrasonic Welding applies high-frequency acoustic vibrations under pressure to form solid-state bonds, often used in electronics and plastics.

Ultrasonic Welding

Arc Welding uses an electrical arc to fuse metals, typically employing a consumable or non-consumable electrode. This technique is widely used for structural and industrial applications, offering strong, reliable welds on a variety of metals.

Arc Welding
