A1Contract machining service
agent“Our spark erosion machines a fully CNC and we use a 3R zero point holding system which means we can produce electrodes through CNC milling, turning or wire erosion and transfer the reference point directly to our spark erosion machines with minimal set-up and ensuring accuracy.”
A2Assembly offered
agent“we offer full-service support including assembly, ultrasonic welding, CNC gluing, machining, and packaging.”
A3In-house toolroom
agent“Our in-house toolroom features CNC, EDM, and conventional machinery.”
