When you need to manage heat without conducting electricity, Aluminium Nitride (AlN) is a material worth knowing about. 👍

✔️ Easily machined
✔️ Good thermal conductivity
✔️ Low thermal expansion

We work with both sintered and machinable forms of AlN, machining components and substrates for demanding applications, including semiconductor processing.

CNC milling is one thing. CNC milling ultra-hard materials is another. 👌

Ceramics, quartz, glass and other hard materials can present a very different set of machining challenges, particularly when the component calls for intricate features and tight tolerances.

Combined with our wider grinding, drilling, honing, lapping and polishing capabilities, it means we can take on some pretty complex component designs.

Agate was the original material we supplied when the company began back in 1946, and is best known as a semi-precious gemstone.

Recognisable by its distinctive bands of colour, agate is a highly pure and extremely hard form of crystalline silicon oxide that can be precision ground into a wide range of shapes and sizes.

Today, we stock standard sizes of agate pestles and mortars for laboratory use, ranging from Ø40mm to Ø100mm, with sizes up to Ø250mm available on request.

Some materials are harder to machine than others, and with it being Manufacturing Day, we thought we’d give you a quick recap of what we’ve been doing since 1946. 👌

We specialise in the precision machining of ultra-hard materials, including glass, sapphire, alumina, quartz and silicon carbide.

This means plenty of surface, cylindrical and centreless grinding, as well as lapping and polishing, to produce complex components to tight tolerances for customers around the world.

High heat? Harsh environments? Quartz and silica can take it. 🔥

Depending on the size and shape of the component, these materials can withstand continuous temperatures of 𝟵𝟬𝟬°𝗖 to 𝟭,𝟭𝟬𝟬°𝗖, and even temperatures of up to 𝟭,𝟰𝟬𝟬°𝗖 for short periods.

Both can be machined in diameters up to Ø600mm, with smaller diameters available in lengths of several metres. Bars, tubes and sheets can also be produced to tight dimensional tolerances of up to ±0.013mm.

When you're machining some of the world's hardest materials, quality can't simply be checked at the end.

Instead, we work within documented, repeatable quality procedures, backed by our ISO 9001 certification.

This gives our customers confidence that components are produced under controlled processes, thoroughly inspected and manufactured to exact specification - particularly important when machining hard and brittle materials, where maintaining tight tolerances while avoiding chips, cracks and surface damage demands careful process control.

Grinding ultra-hard materials takes more than the right machinery. 💪

Our surface, cylindrical and centreless grinding capabilities cover materials including glass, sapphire, alumina, quartz and silicon carbide, with diamond playing a key role throughout our material removal processes.

Over the years, we've worked closely with grinding wheel manufacturers to develop wheels specifically suited to different materials, helping us achieve the precision our customers' applications demand.

When components are exposed to extreme wear, heat or corrosive environments, silicon carbide is often the material of choice.

Combining exceptional hardness, wear resistance and thermal conductivity, it's widely used in precision-engineered components for demanding industrial applications.

We can machine silicon carbide into precision components for both prototype and production projects! 👍

Today is Aviation Day, so it's the perfect opportunity to highlight how we support the industry. ✈️

We first started supporting the aerospace industry in the early 2000s and have since gone on to manufacture precision quartz sensors for aerospace applications.

✔️ Excellent dimensional stability
✔️ Stable electrical properties
✔️ High resistance to thermal shock and harsh environments

Quartz is valued for its exceptional stability, durability and repeatable performance in demanding environments. With our expertise in machining ultra-hard materials, we're proud to support the aerospace industry through the manufacture of these precision components.

When optical performance, wear resistance and dimensional stability are critical, sapphire and ruby are difficult to beat. 👀

As two of the hardest materials available, they're trusted in demanding optical, scientific, semiconductor and industrial applications where conventional materials simply won't perform!

We machine sapphire and ruby into precision components for both prototype and production projects, helping customers achieve the performance their application demands.
