Capabilities
Four processes, a short list of materials and the limits we work within. All figures are illustrative.
Processes
| Process | What it covers | Envelope | Tolerance | Roughness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Milling | Three-axis and five-axis milling of blocks, plates and prismatic parts. Pockets, channels, faces, holes and threads in one set-up where possible. | up to 400 × 250 × 150 mm | ±0.02 mm typical; ±0.01 mm on request | Ra 1.6 µm typical |
| Turning | CNC turning from bar, up to diameter 120 mm. External and internal threads, grooves, cross holes with live tooling. | up to diameter 120 × 300 mm | ±0.01 mm typical | Ra 0.8 µm typical |
| Mill-turn | Round parts with milled features, finished in one set-up so features stay concentric. | up to diameter 80 × 200 mm | ±0.015 mm typical | Ra 0.8 µm typical |
| Finishing | Deburring, bead blast, passivation, anodising and black oxide through a partner, listed on the quote. | as above | coating thickness added to dimensions on request | depends on finish |
Materials we machine
Illustrative list. Material names are standard designations; this is not a statement of certification.
| Material | Group | Typical use | Machinability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminium EN AW-6082 T6 | Aluminium | General purpose, good strength | Very good |
| Aluminium EN AW-5083 H111 | Aluminium | Plates, frames, stable when large | Good |
| Steel C45 | Steel | Shafts, hubs, drives | Good |
| Stainless 1.4301 | Stainless steel | Fittings, general corrosion resistance | Fair |
| Stainless 1.4404 | Stainless steel | Wet and chemical environments | Fair |
| Brass CuZn39Pb3 | Brass | Fittings, electrical hardware | Excellent |
| Copper Cu-ETP | Copper | Heat transfer, conductors | Fair |
| Titanium Ti-6Al-4V | Titanium | Light and strong parts | Demanding |
| POM-C acetal | Plastic | Spacers, bushings, insulation | Very good |
Batch sizes and lead times
| Quantity | Lead time | Typical for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 10 pieces | About 8 to 12 working days (example) | Prototypes and first articles |
| 11 to 100 pieces | About 10 to 15 working days (example) | Small series |
| 101 to 1000 pieces | About 15 to 25 working days (example) | Repeat parts; schedule agreed on the quote |
Typical tolerances are what we aim for on an ordinary feature. Tighter values are quoted case by case. Nothing here describes a measured capability study.
