Wire Erosion

  • XY cutting envelope of 850 × 500 mm with cutting heights up to 700 mm, accommodating large and complex workpieces in a single setup.
  • Wire diameters from 0.15 mm to 0.3 mm, enabling tight internal radii and intricate profiles in hardened and exotic alloys.
  • Tolerances of ±0.005 mm achievable as standard, with excellent surface finishes direct from the machine — minimising secondary operations.
  • 24/7 lights-out running capability, maximising throughput and supporting demanding production schedules without compromise to quality.
  • Suited to tool steels, Inconel, titanium and other conductive superalloys used across aerospace, defence and motorsport applications.

Spark Erosion

  • Virtually zero-wear machining process for shaped electrodes, preserving dimensional integrity across high-volume and repeat production runs.
  • Specialists in the erosion of complex honeycomb and cellular features for the aerospace sector, where conventional machining is not viable.
  • In-house tool room for electrode design and manufacture, enabling rapid iteration and full control of the process chain from programming to finish.
  • No cutting forces applied to the workpiece — ideal for thin-walled, delicate or near-net-shape components where distortion cannot be tolerated.
  • Capable of producing blind cavities, sharp internal corners and intricate 3D forms in hardened steels, carbides and conductive aerospace alloys.

Laser Cutting

  • 3 × Trumpf 5-axis fibre laser systems, each rated at 3 kW — providing high cutting speeds with exceptional edge quality across a wide material range.
  • XY cutting envelope of 4,000 × 1,500 mm with a Z-axis stroke of 750 mm, accommodating large structural and formed components in a single setup.
  • All machines capable of both flatbed 2D sheet cutting and full 3D contour profiling — supporting tubes, formed sections and complex fabrications.
  • No tooling contact and no tool wear — ideal for pre-formed or delicate parts where mechanical cutting forces would cause distortion.
  • In-house programming handles DXF, STEP and IGES data, with rapid turnaround from customer file to first-off part.

Laser Drilling

  • 1 × dedicated 5-axis laser drilling machine with full simultaneous axis control, enabling compound-angle holes on complex 3D components in a single setup.
  • X-axis stroke 850 mm | Y-axis stroke 600 mm | Z-axis stroke 1,000 mm — accommodating large and complex aerostructure components.
  • B-axis and C-axis both 360° continuous rotation, providing unrestricted angular access for effusion, film cooling and precision aperture drilling.
  • Capable of producing small-diameter holes in nickel superalloys, titanium and stainless steel without the tool breakage risk of conventional drilling.
  • Widely used for turbine blade film cooling holes, combustion liner effusion arrays and other safety-critical apertures demanding positional repeatability.

Fast Hole Drilling

  • 3 × 5-axis fast hole EDM drilling machines providing full compound-angle capability for cooling holes, start holes and precision apertures in a single setup.
  • 2 × standard 2-axis fast hole drilling machines dedicated to high-volume straight-hole production, maximising throughput on repeat aerospace programmes.
  • Hole diameters from 0.3 mm to 3.0 mm, covering the full range of cooling hole and start hole requirements across turbine and structural components.
  • Process suited to hardened steels, nickel superalloys and titanium — materials that resist conventional drilling and demand spark erosion-based methods.
  • Essential for producing start holes for wire EDM operations, ensuring accurate entry points without surface damage or metallurgical disturbance.
