High Precision Aerospace Fixture
High precision engineering hydraulic valve test and calibration fixture for Hawker Aerospace. The unit was commissioned because it was no longer available from the original manufacturer. The original 2D drawings were available but there was missing information with regards to the assembly arrangements.
To help determine this information our CAD team created 3D models of all the component parts which could then be assembled virtually to ascertain the correct function. Manufacturing then took place via CNC milling and CNC turning direct from the 3D CAD data ensuring the best accuracy in relation to the assembly. It was also very helpful as the key elements of the device were calibration marks which could be CNC machine engraved with much greater accuracy than would be available with traditional engraving.
Our precision engineers and inspection team then carried out a series of tests which proved that the device was functioning within the parameters required.

Just a quick note to thank you for the big plate you manufactured for me. It all fitted perfectly, and it would have been a disaster for me if it hadn’t been correct or delivered late.

Case Studies
CNC Machining of Large Hydraulic Manifold
The client required a large hydraulic manifold to be machined from a block of aluminium 1100 x 600 x 400mm. With the manifold needing to be machined to a high tolerance required by the client.
Electronics Enclosure
This case study was from a client who was very specific about the requirements for this electronics enclosure for the exact positional tolerances. It was a challenging job & one we completed to perfection.
High Precision Aerospace Fixture
The case study for this job was for an aerospace part that was no longer available to purchase. We had limited information to go on, but once again we finished this job to a very high standard.
Mechanical Prototyping of a Fishing Reel
The client for this case study had a new fishing reel concept that they wanted us to manufacturer so they could test it out before taking the design further.
