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 machines, enabling 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 the required shape and size with exact dimensions. We use the best-quality cutting tools made from 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, resulting in highly accurate, repeatable parts.

Our skilled engineers can achieve tight tolerances in precision machining, ensuring the final product meets 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.

Precision Machining and Fabrication machinery includes:

  • Haas SL10 CNC lathe with 3m bar feed
  • Haas SL30 CNC lathe
  • Colchester CNC lathe
  • 2 x Haas VF3 – 4 axis machine centres
  • Haas VF1 – 3 axis machining centre
  • Union BFT 80 horizontal borer
  • Various manual milling machines and lathes
  • Slotting and honing machines
  • Radial arm drill and drilling

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 precision machining and fabrication process.

The key aspects of the precision fabrication we use are;

Cutting – Our precision cutting uses techniques such as laser, waterjet, or plasma to accurately shape materials, including metal sheets and tubes. These are high-precision methods that can tackle any material’s 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 of multiple parts; it requires highly skilled precision welders who precisely control heat and welding parameters to ensure welds are strong and accurate.

Quality control – an essential part of our precision fabrication process. We inspect and measure components, adhere to specifications, and test the final product to ensure 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 everything from small, intricate sheet-metal fabrications to large structural steelwork.
