Capabilities

Capabilities

We manufacture precision components to the tolerances, geometries and specifications set out in the customer's technical drawing.

Processes

CNC machining

We carry out CNC milling and CNC turning, with CAD/CAM programming and dimensional inspection throughout the production process.

  • End mill of a CNC machining centre over a part held in a vice

    CNC milling

    Parts made to customer drawings, from prototype to recurring production.

  • CNC lathe machining a part, with sparks at the tool

    CNC turning

    Lathe with bar feeder, for small and large quantities.

Quantities and lead times

Prototypes, batches and lead times

We manufacture from prototypes and one-off parts to small, medium and large batches, according to each customer's needs.

There is no minimum order quantity or value. In turning, the bar feeder allows small and large quantities.

Lead times

Lead times are set according to the complexity of the parts, the quantities, the availability of raw material and production capacity. The delivery time is confirmed after the technical review of each request.

We have 24-hour production capacity, which allows us to optimise lead times.

Urgent orders

We accept urgent orders, subject to technical review, the availability of machines and materials and the complexity of the parts. The lead time is set case by case, after reviewing the project. Urgent orders may carry an additional cost, communicated in advance and approved by the customer.
