Machining Expertise

A Machining Workshop Built Around Precision Processes

With a large number of speciality machining plant and lifting equipment up to 10 tons, we can turn any machining need around in record time, every time.

Our broad range of general machining includes Milling, Radial Arm Drilling, Cylindrical Grinding, Internal Grinding, small and large Centre Lathes, Planetary Grinding for large and odd shape components for internal bores, large capacity CNC Lathe, CNC Horizontal Borer and general machining facilities.

We offer diamond grinding on all internal and external grinding machines and have Linishing and Super Finishing Machines to finish hard surfaced engineered coatings to an incredibly high standard.

A1 Metallising Services continually reinvests in updating all our machinery to ensure precision work of the highest quality standard is consistently maintained.

Grinding

There are a variety of options available on our 9 specialty grinding machines including Diamond Grinding, Diamond Belt Linishing, Super Finishing, Straightening of Shafts with single or multiple diameters and/or tapered journals.

Cylindrical Grinding to 800mm in diameter x 3,000mm long
Internal Grinding to 1,015mm in diameter
Surface Grinding, both conventional and rotary table grinders

Lathes

We offer faster turnaround times due to the number and variety of lathes we have available for production. The 14 lathes we have on site range from 600mm between centres to 8,000mm between centres with a 1,700mm swing over the bed. We also offer selected CNC turning capabilities for general machining and machining of thermal sprayed components with a capacity of 1,320mm over the bed.

CNC Horizontal Borer

On site we have a modern CNC Horizontal Borer offering the latest technology available. It is capable of manufacturing components in full CNC operation or one-off repair jobs in semi manual operation mode. It is fitted with the latest in touch probe technology to ensure complete set up accuracy and alignment checking capabilities. It has a cross travel centre to centre of 3,100mm, vertical travel of 1,600mm, and can take a 10,000kg table load.

HAAS 5 Axis CNC Mill

Our HAAS 5 Axis CNC Mill is a highly advanced and versatile machine tool used for precision machining of complex parts. Equipped with a 5-axis control, it allows for simultaneous movement along five different axes: X, Y, Z, and two rotational axes, A and B. This capability enables the machine to work on five sides of a part in a single setup, reducing setup time and improving overall accuracy and efficiency. The mill’s robust construction, high-speed spindle, and sophisticated control system makes it ideal for reclamation of numerous parts.
