anything for anything out of Sheet Metal - Tube - Bar Angle Iron or
Section. Mild Steel, Stainless, Brass, Aluminium, Chrome Mollidbeum
Tubing. Most common Materials used today. From a simple strip of Metal
with or without Holes and Folds to Panels for Current Commercial Vehicles.
Mudguards for Current Motorcycles, Fuel Tanks for Motor cars, almost
a complete E-Type Jaguar, and Jensen Interceptor Levers and brackets
for tanks and military vehicles. pressings for aircraft, and self propelled
guns, hood frames for cars and trucks.
Pressing
and Assembly for a rnage of kitchen ovens tubular fabrications for commercial
catering, folded sections and stands for shop fitting and architectural
work brackets and rails for fencing, machine guards, brackets for bouncing
castles, brackets for scaffolding and motor vehicle pressings for spares
after production has ended.
Chrome bumpers, tanks for laboratories and brackets for electronics
industry and many many more.

Planning With over
6,000 parts being produced on a regular basis from tiny brackets to complete
motor vehicle body shells, a fully computerised production control system
with real time data collection has proved to be extremely beneficial for
both small batches through to high Volume regular call off. We use a system
where each part has its sub parts detailed enabling,
stock control, with trial kitting, full shop floor planning with individual
operations identified with bar coded tracking and routing.

We are
able to offer complete projects in house, virtually any sheet metal parts
can be produced, from initial sample or proto-type with tooling design for
simple punching and forming through to deep drawn panels using our double
action presses with air cushion also, assembly jigs can be produced in house
where we can then offer a full production system incorporating, laser, punching
pressing, welding assembly and virtually any methods of finishing, often
making substantial saving on transport costs to and from several sub-contractors.
Tubular fabrications are also catered for.

We can cut mild steel,
aluminium stainless sheets using a range of guillotines up to 3m 4mm curved
shapes can be cut on Pulmax Nibbler Shears and for fabrication work we have
oxy acetylene profiling plasma etc.

| We have an extensive
range of presses to suit most needs of domestic and motor vehicle requirements
for try out low volume and regular medium and high volume call off. With
the range from 5 ton to 750 ton both single and double action with air cushion
drawing available.
Also we cater for spare part demand and can repair, replace
lost or damaged tooling. Deep drawn pressing such as fuel tanks, wings
for motor vehicles and cooker doors are regularly produced.

Cutting a curved line
in a flat sheet metal can be carried out by using a Pulmax Nibbling Shear
or a Rotary Shear, These machines are also suitable to trim pressings. A
shape Delta II Auto index Turret Punching Machine with off line programming
can be used to punch holes in Sheet Metal or a combination of high speed
punching to cut any shape into sheet metal. High Volume requirements may
require punching and blanking on high-speed power presses using special
tooling.
Pressing can be trimmed to close tolerance using our 5 Axis 2KW laser profiling
machine, with a bed size of 2m x 3m x 1m most auto motive panels can be
trimmed.

We cater for the simplest
fold in a flat strip to multi folds up to 3m long x 3mm thick steel. Straight,
Box Pan Folders and Hydraulic Brake Presses are available to form sharp
or radiused folds. A 7 Axis 3m x 120t Brake Press gives accuracy and quick
setting with memory for repeat batches.

Skilled sheet metal
workers with panel beating and development skills can produce 1 off or small
batches of panels or produce parts using folding forming welding and surface
finishing, re working pressings and jig work is a regular requirement. Eckhold
shrinking-stretching machines are part of this well equipped versatile department.

Tubular sheet metal
workers with panel beating and development skills can produce 1 off or small
batches of panels or produce parts using folding forming welding and service
finishing. Re working pressings and jigs for accuracy and efficiency with
the extensive equipment available, bushes, brackets can be produced and
welded into position.

We can manufacture
tooling and jigs for a variety of components, from small brackets to deep
drawn
pressings; we can work from cad data, a drawing or just a sample of the
part.
Patterns and castings can be produced with CNC or copy
machining, through to component sample
and production requirement.

With regular call
offs of sheet metal assembly's we offer a sub assembly store where parts
can be produced in volume to an economic level stored and assembled in regular
batches as required, a fully computerised stock control system with trial
kitting ensures deliveries are met on time.

We have been producing
new body shells for the E-type jaguar for over twenty years, we offer them
as a "Sub Assembly Unit" which is the body without the outer panels
fitted, which are available in kit form, this is aimed at the professional
body shop or the experienced amateur. We can also supply the unit fully
assembled, lead loaded and cleaned back ready for the paint process. Professional
spot welders and our experience in assembly and high quality finish enable
us to offer low volume build or modification to virtually any body for either
special purpose vehicle or road-race or rally car.
