Intelligent manufacturing, at our scale
We are a 8,000 m² works, not a showroom factory. What “intelligent” means here is concrete: the right machine for each feature, measurement that decides acceptance, and a record for every part.
The right process for each feature
A mill guide is not one operation. Round bores, flat wear faces, slots and threads each want a different machine, and we match them.
CNC turning
Shafts, rollers, hubs and bushes turned in house, with critical fits held to the tolerances on the approved drawing.
CNC milling
Slots, keyways, mounting faces and guide-box features milled from the same approved drawing set, so the parts on one assembly agree with each other.
Grinding
Wear surfaces and mating faces ground where finish and geometry decide how long the part lasts.
Casting and forging
Blanks are produced to an agreed material specification, then machined here — so the material that arrives and the part that ships are both traceable.
A part is right when it is measured, not when it looks right
Inspection is a step in the process, not a formality at the end. Parts that do not measure up do not leave the gate.
Dimensional re-check
Critical dimensions re-measured against the confirmed drawing before the batch is signed off.
Hardness testing
Wear faces at HRC 58–62 in the agreed condition; hardness is tested, not assumed from the material certificate.
Coordinate measurement
Where geometry is complex or repeat supply demands it, features are verified on the CMM rather than by hand tools alone.
Identity on every part
Each part is marked, so it can be traced back to its batch, its material and its inspection record.
What we record, and why you benefit
Records are what turn a good batch into a repeatable one. They are also what you can ask for.
Drawing control
One approved version per part, with changes confirmed in writing by both sides before anything is cut.
Batch traceability
Material heat numbers, process steps and inspection results stay with the batch, so a question about one part can be answered from the file.
Inspection records on request
Sent with the shipment or asked for afterwards — the format is yours to specify.
Feedback into the next batch
Wear and failure information from a customer’s mill, shared with permission, changes material or hardness on the next order.
Engineers in the loop, not a control room
Automation does not decide how a guide should be made; the engineer does, and the machine holds the standard.
Drawings signed by engineers
Five senior engineers review the drawing, material and heat treatment before the part is released to the shop floor.
Skills written down
Machining and heat-treatment know-how is documented and taught to apprentices, so quality does not depend on one person’s memory.
Specialist processes under our drawings
Casting, forging and heat treatment run at long-standing partner workshops, to our drawings and our process requirements — not to theirs.
What we are improving, honestly
We are not going to claim a fully automated plant. The next gains here are unglamorous and specific:
Shorter changeover
Reducing setup time so small and urgent batches are economic to run, not only large repeats.
Batch consistency
Locking process parameters so part 50 of a run matches part 1 — which is what repeat supply actually demands.
Records that travel
Making the inspection file easier for you to receive, in the format your quality department already uses.
