What We Can Actually Make? | Manufacturing Capabilities

Process capability, machine by machine. This page exists because the process list is what separates a manufacturer from a catalogue.

Manufacturing Capabilities, stated as numbers

Buyers do not need adjectives about precision. They need to know the largest bore we can hone, the longest rod we can grind, the heaviest part we can lift and the tolerance we can hold repeatably rather than once.

The tables on the process pages below are written to be read by a manufacturing engineer deciding whether to send a drawing. Where a figure is a typical production value it is labelled as such, and where it is a limit that requires a specific machine and a specific set-up, it says that too.

Machining since

Six processes, one building. Parts do not leave the site between operations except for the processes we explicitly identify as partner operations. Fewer handoffs means fewer places for a batch to be substituted or a record to be lost.

CNC Turning & Milling

Turning centres, machining centres and vertical lathes for cylinder bodies, glands, pistons, mounts and breaker components.

Machine envelope

Deep-Hole Boring & Honing

Boring, skiving and roller burnishing, single-pass and stroke honing to cylinder bore tolerance and finish.

Bore and length range

Grinding & Superfinishing

Cylindrical and centreless grinding, polishing and superfinishing of rods, pins and breaker pistons.

Diameter and length range

Forging & Die Design

Closed-die forging of cylinder and breaker components, with in-house tool and die design.

Forging capability

Welding

MIG MAG and submerged arc welding of cylinder sub-assemblies, with welder
qualification records.

Welding scope

Heat Treatment

Induction hardening, quench and temper, stress relief, with hardness and case depth recorded per batch.

Treatment range

Not sure whether a part is in range?

Send the drawing. If it is outside our process range we will say so and, where useful, name the process it actually needs.
