Projects

Some examples of typical recent projects:

Brake-ring

These forged and precision-machined rings control the delivery of power from the engine to the track of a tank – if the left-hand brake ring is engaged, the left-hand caterpillar-track stops and the tank turns to the left, visa-versa for the right. Machined to tight tolerances, the rings are meticulously…

Swirler

Fuel swirlers ensure thorough mixing of fuel and air for efficient combustion in industrial gas turbines. The material is a tough, difficult to machine stainless steel, but it is the influence of the design and our ability to faithfully render it that has a profound impact on the fuel efficiency…

Mainshaft

Machined from stainless steel with multiple features, coatings and treatments, this component would have been challenging in any environment. But in a development scenario with information available only piecemeal and a fixed in-service date, we made a virtue of being geographically close to our customer to maximize on a very…

Blade Assembly

Taking a new idea from the designer’s mind and rendering it as a full-functioning prototype requires the very latest technology (the first of its type in the UK), immense skill and speed. This section of a ring of gas turbine blades is for a power generation development project with blades…
