OUR MACHINERY
Our purchasing team source high graded material predominantly from America and Europe, whilst using local distributors. We are striving to reduce our carbon footprint by using local courier services and minimising purchases made outside of the UK.
DOOSAN PUMA MX 2500 ST
CAPABILITIES
9 axis mill-turn machining centre that combines the ability of a twin spindle CNC lathe with the capability of a 5-axis milling machine. These machines allow us to load billet or bar into the main spindle, machine with a combination of milling and turning tools, automatic transfer over to the sub spindle and then continuous machining with milling and turning tools to produce a finished part which can be inspected on the CMM and then dispatched.
40 tool magazine capacity for the milling spindle, 12 driven tool positions on the turning turret, 12” chucks on both main and sub spindles, 76mm diameter bar capacity, 12 turning tool positions facing the main and sub spindles, Fanuc control system.
Equipped with Filtermist extraction system (maintained by SW testing) for the removal of coolant mist and fully interlocked guarding ensures high standards of operator health and safety.

ECOCA SJ 35 HT - 2 OFF
CAPABILITIES
Single spindle, single turret, 2 axis lathes. Super heavy duty machine with the ability to hold 0.005mm tolerance all day no matter what the materials. Used for all manor of work from 316 stainless steel castings to hard turning up to 65 Rockwell M340 steel. The flexibility of these machines replaces the need for many grinding applications and often gives superior surface finishes in a fraction of the cycle time traditionally required.
12 position turret holds all the common turning tools, programmable centre gives support for shaft work. Large spindle bore allows us to hold 3” diameter bar when required. Fanuc control system.
