We are a small friendly company based in Henfield, West Sussex, working in the light engineering market for machined parts, assemblies and fabricated items. We also undertake modification and repairs to existing parts and assemblies at our premises.
We specialise in prototype and small batch production, ie from 1 off to 2000 odd, working with Ferrous and Non-Ferrous metals including Aluminium, Mild and Stainless Steel, Heat Resistant Super Alloys, Cast Iron, and Brass as well as Engineering Plastics.
General manual lathe work (to general or high precision)
General manual milling work
MIG, TIG and gas welding, brazing and silver soldering
Low volume Bead blasting
CAD/CAM Development (Solidworks / OneCNC)
2D Drawing compiled from 3D solid model
Our CNC machines are programmed from top of the range CAM software from OneCNC, supported by Solidworks as our primary CAD package, which allows us to generate or import from Customers their simple or complex 2D, and 3D solid CAD models.
Customers who generate their own CAD, then outsource production, will realise this is not a simple process,with incongruities usually rife between their own software and that of the production company. Our powerful combination of software lets us address such problems as they arise, in house, and to work with the Customer to ensure that they are resolved as quickly as possible.
CAD Model Low Pressure Oxygen Accumulator
We can further assist with development of a part or assembly, taking an idea or rough draft to a final part that can be produced, supported by deliverable CAD drawings and files if necessary.
Typical work for us includes:
Machinery End Casing
CAD/CAM Development (Solidworks / OneCNC)
Turning and milling specialist flanges, fittings and adapters
Production of threaded metal and plastic parts
Milling 3D multi-radiused features eg for patterns for injection moulding tools
Production of general fixtures and fittings
Construction of machinery components (eg shafts, rotors, end plates, mountings, levers)
Development and production of replacements for obsolete parts / assemblies
Fabrication of welded assemblies in Aluminium and Steel (often of parts we have produced)
Supply of material cut to specifications
Camera Support Gantry
Production of special Bolts, Nuts, Adapters, Washers and Inserts etc
Productionisation of a Customer Design Concept to include Documentation and /or Manufacture. This service supports Customers who do not have advanced CAD systems, and frequently involves the production of 3D solid CAD models of several parts, mated together to show a final 3D assembly that allows assessment by the Customer of the finished assembly before any material is cut. This is of particular benefit where specialist mathematical analysis is required (eg component stress / strain / performance) before committing to expensive tooling or protoype machining.
Advice and Assistance to Customers on machining processes, capability and techniques including research into potential design and production solutions
Welding Jig
We subcontract operations outside our scope locally where possible, (eg laser cutting, sheet metal folding, galvanising, hardening, EDM wire cutting), so we can offer a complete production service if required, with minimal shipping charges.
We have a large and varied Customer Base built up over 18 years of business, with Customers ranging from well known Corporations (some overseas), to start-up Companies, to clubs and institutions.
Pillion Passenger Grab Handle
It is not possible to try and provide example costs due to the wide variety of work we undertake, but being small usually lets us offer competitive prices.
