Our Machining Process

All machining begins from a customer supplied drawing or sample piece. From this we gather the material grade required, the most suitable machine to be used and the most efficient way to process the component. A job card is then prepared for the part. Once material is sourced, the machine being used is then set with the relevant tools and programmed by the operator. The operator then signs the job card to show this is complete before an inspector double checks this stage and signs off that section. The operator then moves on to machining the first operation on that component, again this is signed on the job card and inspected and signed off if completed to specification. This stage is repeated until all the required operations are complete and the component finished. A final inspection is held at the end to ensure the entire component meets drawing/sample specification before final sign off and delivery to the customer.
