We have invested heavily to provide an extensive and modern range of industry leading plant, capability and capacity. In addition to a large part turning and milling capacity, we offer multi axis mill-turn centres capable of simultaneous 5 Axis machining. We also have precision machining capability and approvals for exotic materials such as titanium, beryllium, molybdenum and high-tensile nickel and chrome-steels such as Inconel. Listed below is our latest plant list.

EDM Small hole drilling is the production process for the forming of holes in hardened and exotic materials such as Inconel and Carbide. EDM drills bore holes with a long brass or copper tube electrode that rotates in a chuck with a constant flow of deionised water flowing through the electrode as a flushing agent and dielectric.
Drilling can be between 0.5mm and 4mm in diameter and up to a maximum depth of 400mm.

FutureAM uses QCT 3D Inspect-Pro software in conjunction with a Faro Quantum Arm which is equipped with both Touch probing and seven-axis Laser Scanning head. This provides an 1800mm working volume and offers accuracy comparable to fixed CMMs. QCT 3D Inspect software is fully programmable for repetitive measurement, and performs first-article inspection efficiently.
FutureAM uses Renishaw MODUS™ inspection software via a Renishaw REVO™ 5 Axis scanning head on a 2.5 Metre CNC Co-ordinate Measuring Machine to inspect by direct reference to original CAD data. The scanning system software employs a seat of CatiaV5 for direct reference to original model, eliminating the need for data translation. MODUS™ can also accept model data in other formats.
