Capacity and machines
The numbers you need before you send a drawing. If your part sits near a limit, ring us and ask: weight, material and features all change what is possible.
Machining capacity
| Machine | Capacity | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| CNC chuck lathes | Up to Ø450mm, up to 1000mm long | Subject to weight. Large turned parts, one-offs to batch. |
| CNC bar-fed lathes | Up to Ø65mm, up to 450mm long | Twin-spindle, twin-turret. High-volume turned parts. |
| Multi-axis turn-mill | FANUC controls | Turned and milled features in one set-up. |
| 5-axis machining centres | Full 5-axis | Complex geometry in fewer set-ups. |
| DN Solutions ACE VC430 | Twin pallet, 30 tools, 350kg table | Next job set while the current one runs. |
| Grinding | In-house section | Fine finishes and close tolerances without sending work out. |
