Case studies

Every job maintains complete traceability, from material certificate to final inspection report.

CASE 01

48 Hour Breakdown Recovery

Customer
GreenVale Foods
Sector
Food manufacturing

A worn conveyor drive shaft stopped a packaging line. We measured the failed component, produced a manufacturing drawing, turned and milled a replacement, inspected it and delivered it back to site.

Focus

  • Reverse engineering
  • CNC turning
  • Keyway milling
  • Inspection
  • Delivery

Outcome: Replacement shaft delivered within the agreed window. Demonstration copy — recovery times depend on material and machine availability.

CASE 02

Motorsport Development Components

Customer
Apex Dynamics Motorsport
Sector
Motorsport

Rapid development of machined aluminium brackets for a new motorsport application, running through three drawing revisions while the design settled.

Focus

  • Short lead time
  • Surface quality
  • Revision changes
  • Anodising
  • Inspection

Outcome: Each revision was released cleanly to the shop floor with the superseded issue marked obsolete. Demonstration copy.

CASE 03

Automation Cell Fabrication

Customer
Vector Motion Automation
Sector
Automation & robotics

Fabricated and machined steel base system for an automation integrator, with mounting pads machined after welding to hold datum accuracy.

Focus

  • Fabrication
  • MIG welding
  • Post-weld machining
  • Powder coating
  • Assembly

Outcome: Delivered as a finished, coated and assembled base ready for robot installation. Demonstration copy.

CASE 04

Research Instrument

Customer
Westborough University
Sector
Scientific research

Small batch of precision instrument mounting assemblies for a university research team, developed from the researchers' CAD models.

Focus

  • CAD review
  • Precision machining
  • CMM inspection
  • Controlled revisions

Outcome: Batch supplied with full inspection reports and hard anodised finish. Demonstration copy.
