How We Work
One partner, from requirement to running machine
A clear, six-step process keeps every project on time and every machine on target.
- 1
Step 1: Requirement study
We study your component, cycle time, volumes, space and operating requirements.
- 2
Step 2: Concept & design
3D concept, design review and detailed engineering in SolidWorks / Unigraphics.
- 3
Step 3: Manufacturing
Precision machining and assembly in our own tool room.
- 4
Step 4: Inspection & proving
CMM inspection and in-house trials against agreed targets.
- 5
Step 5: Installation
Delivery, installation and commissioning at your plant.
- 6
Step 6: Support
Operator training, spares and responsive after-sales service.
Infrastructure
A tool room that keeps quality in our own hands

When Does a Special Purpose Machine Make Sense?
SPMs trade flexibility for speed and repeatability. Here is how to recognise the operations that benefit most.
FAQ
Answers before you ask
Can't find what you are looking for? Our engineers are a call or message away.
Which industries do you build welding solutions for?
We build weld lines, fixtures and SPMs for two-wheeler, four-wheeler, agricultural equipment and earth-moving equipment manufacturers, including their Tier-1 suppliers.
Can you design a fixture or machine from just a part drawing?
Yes. Share your part drawing or 3D model along with your volume and cycle-time targets. Our design team will propose a concept, then take it through detailed design, manufacturing and proving.
Do you supply complete robotic welding cells?
Yes. We deliver turnkey robotic MIG welding cells including fixtures, safety fencing, auto doors, HMI controls, poka-yoke, gas and air monitoring and TCP calibration.
How do you ensure fixture accuracy?
Fixtures and components are inspected on our Hexagon CMM with a 3000 mm range, along with hardness testing and height gauges, before dispatch.
Which design software do you use?
SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Delcam (3D CAD/CAM) and Unigraphics, so we can work directly with most OEM data formats.
Do you install and support the machines at our plant?
Yes. We handle installation, commissioning and operator training at your facility, and provide ongoing after-sales support.
Have a component that needs a better welding or automation solution?
Share your part drawing, volumes and cycle-time targets. Our engineers will recommend the right fixture, SPM or robotic cell.
