Precision Machining and Fabrication

At Yaplex Limited we offer the very best precision machining and fabrication services. Using a variety of tools, machinery and techniques we form raw materials into finished products with tight tolerances and high accuracy.

With our fully equipped workshop we can complete the full range of fabrication and precision machining services in house. This includes both manual machines and CNC which enables us to provide batch work as well as one off pieces.

Our expert engineers use various CNC machines with CAD CAM technology. This includes lathes and 3/4 axis milling machines. The precision machining manufacturing process we use can create a required shape and size with exact dimensions. We use the best quality cutting tools made from various materials such as carbide, ceramic or high-speed steel. These tools allow us to cut and shape the workpiece efficiently and accurately.

Our CNC machining uses computer-controlled machines to enhance and automate the precision of the machining process. These machines follow programmed instructions to precisely position and move the cutting tools which result in a highly accurate and repeatable part or parts.

Our skilled engineers can achieve tight tolerances in precision machining which ensures that the final product complies with the precise specifications. Our precision machining can manufacture components such as machine parts, shafts, gears, valves and bearings as well as intricate parts that require extreme accuracy and quality.

Our machinery includes:

Yaplex Limited also offers a high spec fabrication service. We use various techniques including bending, welding, cutting and assembling different parts to make a functional structure or component. Our focus is on achieving high accuracy and the best quality in the fabrication process.

The key aspects of the precision fabrication we use are;

Cutting – Our precision cutting involves techniques including laser, waterjet or plasma to enable us to accurately shape materials such as metal sheets or tubes. These are high precision methods that can tackle any materials thickness and consistency.

Bending – We use precision bending specialised machinery to accurately bend materials in specific shapes or angles. This process is popular when working with metal sheets or tubes in chassis fabrication, brackets or enclosures.

Assembly – Precision fabrication involves more than just the assembly or multiple parts; it uses highly skilled precision welders using precise control of heat and the welding parameters to ensure the welds are strong and accurate.

Quality control – This is an essential part of our precision fabrication process. We inspect and measure components, adhere to specifications and test the final product to make sure it meets our high standards. All welding can be tested using NDT, MPI or ultrasonic testing.

Skills – All our welders are coded to BS EN ISO 9606-1. We hold codings for mild steel, aluminium and stainless steel, but we can weld most materials, even exotics. We have 4 welding bays, each with mig, tig and stick welding capabilities. Our skilled team can produce anything from small intricate sheet metalwork fabrications to large structural steelwork.

As you can see there are many aspects of precision machining and fabrication that Yaplex Limited can offer. With our skilled operators, enhanced knowledge of engineering principles and advanced machinery we have a proven history of providing services for numerous industries. Where the demand for high quality components and end products is critical, get in touch with us and see just how much we can offer for you.
