Out of Production Tube Train Component
Renowned as offering the very best CNC Machining services, Thompson Precision has been established as instrument makers since 1939 and have carried on the tradition of producing high precision components and assemblies while at the same time always utilising the most up to date technology available within the industry.
Today we employ a range of 22 computer numerical control or as they are more commonly known CNC milling and turning centres and can undertake projects that involve sizes anywhere between 2mm in diameter to 2000mm x 1000 mm x 850mm. Thompson Precision come into their own when solving difficult problems or producing results quickly and accurately.

Laser Scanning Equipment Used
We then used laser scanning equipment to scan the part into a 3D CAD format from which we could generate a CNC machining program. With only a low volume of parts required it was more economical to CNC machine the parts from solid material. We also took the opportunity to upgrade the material to aerospace grade aluminium as it was reported that the original 1970’s manufactured parts were breaking into 2 pieces rather than just wearing out.
The client, London Underground were more than happy with the results and have saved themselves a lot of money by utilising our team of experienced engineers to reproduce this part for them.
This is just an example of some of the many projects we have undertaken. If you would like to find out more then please feel free to contact us and we will help you with your requirements. No job is too big or too small for our team who have experience in all sorts of requirements. We thrive on challenges!

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.
