As well as using our new facilities for our own production we are now able to provide tube manipulation and polishing services as sub-contractors to other companies. Whilst we have become established on our high quality low volume bespoke services we are now able to take on production volumes of components in all sorts of materials and finishes. |

| Our new semi-automatic tube manipulator (bender) allows us to produce bends of very high quality with minimal necking and wastage. Radii can be tighter than previously and the accuracy, production rate and repeatability are improved enormously. This is of most help when producing batches of parts, but single items are still produced more economically. | |||||
|
|
We can take a drawing, sketch or design and produce highly accurate and repeatable batches of tubular parts and assemblies. One-off parts are produced just as easily. We can measure your product directly if required. Inputting the manufacturing information onto a 3D CAD system provides all the data to allow the bender to produce the parts, and the data is saved allowing future batches to be produced to the same accuracy. |

This being a mandrel bender it avoids the necking inherent with other bending systems. This photograph (right) of a bend in 1.5" (38mm) 1/16" (1.6mm) wall 316 stainless shows the lack of necking in the bend. |

Our
new dedicated polishing shop allows us to produce the highest quality
polished finish in-house. Our own products are all polished here and we
can provide the same service as sub-contractors for your polished components.
Being in house we are able to apply the best quality control and turn-round
on batch production as well as small quantities.

On
the left is shown a cleat, on the right are shown the basic laser-cut
top, with the polished item ready for assembly. Once the cleat is assembled
it is polished to the high quality finish shown on the left.

Polishing
Stemhead parts before fabrication. |
Above
is shown a Stemhead. After manufacturing the parts they are polished to
a high finish whilst the surfaces are easy to access. Then the parts are
assembled in to the fabrication on the left. Finally the welds are dressed
and polished to the exceptional finish shown in the right hand picture.

To
the left is shown the polisher at work polishing the parts for the Stemhead
shown above prior to fabrication. To the right is a batch of Pushpits
awaiting despatch after bending, fabrication and polishing.

To
the left a batch of Pushpits and Pullpits await despatch and to the right
another batch awaits polishing.
