Defense & Aerospace

Precision parts, test rigs and fixtures

Where errors are not accepted, the rig that verifies the part matters as much as the part. We make precision machined parts, special test and assembly rigs and fixtures to your specification.

(01) Our work

What we do for defense and aerospace.

On low volume, high responsibility work the way to minimise uncertainty is to keep design, manufacturing and verification in one team.

  1. 01

    Precision machined parts

    Complex geometries and tight tolerances on 5-axis CNC. Critical dimensions are measured and reported on the CMM.

  2. 02

    Special test rigs

    Product specific rigs for load, vibration, leak and functional tests. Data acquisition and reporting included.

  3. 03

    Assembly rigs and fixtures

    Repeatable rigs that hold the part in the right position during precision assembly steps.

  4. 04

    Prototypes and small series

    Fast prototyping and pilot production for low volume, high value parts.

(02) Services

The services behind it.

The services used together most often in this industry. Each can also be taken on its own.

(03) Focus

What we focus on in this industry.

How the principles that hold on every project apply in this industry.

01

Specification compliance

Requirements are written down at the start. Every stage is verified against the specification.

02

Measurement and records

Measurement reports, test records and documentation are part of the delivery.

03

One accountable partner

Design, manufacturing and test sit in one team, so the chain of responsibility stays short.

(04) Questions

Frequently asked questions.

The questions we hear most in this industry, with short answers.

01

What tolerances can be held on precision machined parts?

That depends on the geometry and the material of the part. It is machined to the tolerances on your drawing, and critical dimensions are measured on the CMM and reported. We review your drawing together at the quotation stage.

02

Which tests can a special test rig cover?

Tests such as load, vibration, leak, function and cycle tests that copy the real operating conditions of your product. Data acquisition and reporting are designed as part of the rig.

03

How are specifications and documentation handled?

Requirements are written down at the start and every stage is verified against them. Measurement reports, test records and documentation are part of the delivery.

04

Do you make prototypes and small series?

Yes. We do fast prototyping and pilot production for low volume, high value parts. One team carries design, manufacturing and verification together.
