When customers require metal parts with a specific shape, or even a prototype, they need CNC machining to ensure the project meets an unrivalled standard. Short for ‘computer numerical controlled’, CNC machinery includes industry-specific mills and lathes. That said, machining typically falls into two categories: CNC milling and CNC turning. As a precision engineering company with a professional team, we deliver these services while working closely with clients in the East Grinstead area and further afield.
Allan Hayes Engineering Limited maintains a very high level of service for those in the marine, medical, pollution control, pharmaceutical and security screening sectors – just to name a few. We bring over two centuries of experience to your project and can work to reduce costs as part of our service.
Here, we take a closer look at some of the key aspects of our work, including:
Beginning with a metal block, our CNC mill operates on an axis to carve away at the material. The flexibility of the milling machine makes for a smoother manufacturing process. For this reason, CNC milling is now one of the preferred methods for creating complex parts in East Grinstead, the surrounding areas we cover and beyond – even more so than plasma and laser cutting techniques.
Our mechanical engineers perform robust checks during and after the milling process. As a precision engineering company with a reputation in the South East, we ensure CAD files translate correctly and that all parts are cleaned before packing.
While the CNC milling machine performs automatically, it requires the care of trained engineers to ensure it functions to the highest manufacturing standards.
CNC turning features a cutting tool that removes metal for the purpose of making cylindrical parts. This tool moves in a linear fashion while the part rotates, losing the unwanted materials to create the perfect shape in line with the designs. CNC turning is an essential aspect of precision engineering because it speeds up the manufacturing process, proves highly cost-effective and achieves superior results when compared to other methods.
Clients in East Grinstead and the surrounding areas choose Allan Hayes Engineering Limited for good reason. We use lathes for CNC turning but also use a Mazak Nexus 200 MSY machine, capable of both CNC milling and turning in a single operation.
With a wealth of clients worldwide, including in the US and Europe, Allan Hayes Engineering Limited can manufacture parts from stainless steel and copper to engineering plastics. Unlike other precision engineering teams who may work in the East Grinstead area, we provide a full service that can include advice on product development and suggestions to cut costs and reduce lead times wherever possible.
We can also offer engraving, welding, silk screen printing and anodising services. Please speak with our engineering company to discuss your requirements.
