CNC machining for precision parts…

CNC (computer numerical control) machining is the system of automating and controlling machine tools via CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) programs. Combined with the many years of CNC engineering experience and continued investment in cutting edge multi-axis machines, we can machine components to an extremely high level of precision. That is why we are called Axis Precision Engineering Components!

…and a wide range of projects

The Axis workshop has an array of multi-axis machines. These range from simple CNC lathes and vertical machining centres to sophisticated 5 axis machines. Coupled with our experienced engineers we have the capacity and capability to produce high quality machined parts to the standard required for the job in question, whatever it may be.
Quality is a matter of course at Axis, as your working relationship develops this will be apparent. So, even for simple CNC machining, you will get an equivalent level of care and quality control throughout the project as you would for a complicated component requiring complex tube milling cycles, for example.
Our engineers are thoroughly aware of the capabilities of our CNC machines and are willing to suggest tweaks in a design if a small change will enable a cost saving. We’re here to help, to make your project a success so you look as good as the quality, precision components we manufacture on your behalf!

For a great value, headache free project, Axis are the right choice.

CNC Machining Services from Axis Precision Engineering

Quality parts require quality control

For parts / projects demanding tight tolerances we need to be certain the completed component meets the required specifications.. That’s why we have a full-time Quality Inspector and can offer a First Article Inspection Report if appropriate for the project. Naturally, full traceability of critical components is available and all ISO 9001:2015 requirements are covered.
We don’t cross our fingers and hope for the best, quality control is built into our projects from start to finish. We offer a complete service with efficient process planning and implementation across the board. You can be certain that for each step of the project the highest quality standards are maintained.
With a dedicated, temperature controlled, Quality department which houses our CNC Co-ordinate Measuring Machine and inspection equipment, Axis have the highest level quality control at your disposal.
