C & M Precision specialise in precision components - Sliding Head & Fixed Head Turn/Mill Technology

WE THINK BIG. EVEN WHEN WE MACHINE SMALL.

Don’t underestimate the little components!

Some of the smallest parts we manufacture at C&M Precision demand the highest levels of precision and a huge amount of engineering experience.

Our continued investment in advanced Citizen CNC technology, combined with the knowledge and experience of our engineers, enables us to produce these tiny, complex components with highest level of accuracy, consistency and repeatability.

“However small the component, we know just how critical it is to the customer and the application it has been designed for.”
John Cable, Managing Director, C&M Precision Ltd

WHEN INNOVATION MEETS EXPERIENCE

It was a pleasure to welcome Andrea Ugolini from IEMCA Italy to C&M Precision for a hands-on review of the IEMCA Blue Line high-pressure system.

As IEMCA’s Product Manager for this system, Andrea has been closely involved in its design and development, so visiting C&M was an excellent opportunity to see how the technology performs in a live precision engineering environment.

“As we were one of the first companies to adopt the Blue Line system, we were ideally placed to share valuable operational feedback and discuss its performance in day-to-day component production at our factory.” John Cable , MD

This visit also highlighted the value of working closely with both IEMCA and Citizen Machinery UK, bringing together the expertise of those who design technology and the engineers who use it to manufacture.

Investing is more than just upgrading machinery. It’s about building strong relationships with our equipment suppliers. We share precision engineering knowledge and continually invest in and improve our manufacturing equipment to deliver the best to our customers.

A big thank you to Andrea and Zach Mackenzie from IEMCA for taking the time to visit us.

And a final comment from John Cable, Managing Director of C&M Precision:

“Our experience with the IEMCA Blue Line system has been so positive that we will be investing in more of these systems as part of our ongoing investment strategy.”

It’s a tough world down there.

Deep beneath the surface, components are exposed to some of the most demanding conditions on Earth: Corrosive seawater, powerful and unpredictable forces, extreme pressures and hostile operating environments.

These coupling nuts, machined on our Citizen L32 are made from Nickel Aluminium Bronze (NAB), a material chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance, strength and durability in demanding marine applications.

As an ISO 9001:2015 accredited manufacturer and a member of the British Turned Parts Manufacturers Association (BTMA), we are totally committed to maintaining the high standards of quality our customers require.

When conditions are tough, our components are tougher.

We went to talk tech and see the latest machines. The Asahi was an unexpected bonus… or three!

This week we attended the Citizen Machinery UK Open Day, and it’s fair to say there was a good mix of engineering, industry peers, old friends and a few beers along the way.

A particularly special moment was John presenting Akabe San with a gift of Japanese wh**ky, thanking him for his outstanding support over the years.

Then came the socialising.

Good company, plenty of laughs, a good few attempts at pulling the perfect pint and perhaps one or two more Asahis than originally planned.

Let’s just say the following morning was a little less productive! (swipe to the last slide for proof 🥴).

Seriously though, a huge thank you to John Hart and everyone at Citizen Machinery UK for the fantastic hospitality.

The best machines, great people and friendships that extend well beyond precision engineering.

Sometimes, we’re the subcontractor’s subcontractor.

Not every component we manufacture comes directly from an end customer.

This batch of 2,000 mild steel camera mount components came to us from another subcontract engineering company. They had the order, but needed the right machine to get it done.

That’s where C&M came in.

Machined on our Citizen L32, it’s a good example of another side of subcontract manufacturing.

“We work closely with a few other subbies who don’t always have the same machining capabilities as us. Having the right machines means we can offer them additional manufacturing options when they need them.”

Cool precision engineering facts
🔍
Who doesn’t love a good fact?

We manufactured some interesting components throughout September, but rather than just showing you them, we thought we’d share a little more about what’s behind them.

A little insight into the world of precision engineering, and maybe a few things you didn’t know.

P.S. You don’t have to be an engineer to enjoy a good precision engineering fact.

A good eye and a steady hand.

5,000 micron-precision components to count, and every one needs the same concentration and care.

Manufacturing isn’t all about high-tech CNC machines. Behind the technology, there are still plenty of jobs that rely on patience, focus, dexterity and a human touch.

And sometimes that means sitting down with a pair of tweezers and getting on with it.

This part has a lot going on.

Machined from Nickel Aluminium Bronze for a long-standing customer, this is exactly where having the right machining capability and years of CNC experience really matters.

It’s also about knowing how to use that capability to its full potential. Complex machining, including a machined knurl and internal chamfer, makes full use of the capabilities of our Miyano ANX42SYY.

With Nickel Aluminium Bronze chosen for its strength and corrosion resistance, this is complex machining for a hostile working environment.

We are now a Platinum Corporate Member of Essex Wildlife Trust.

And we’re really proud to be supporting the work they do to protect wildlife and wild places across Essex.

Our factory sits in Maldon, with the Blackwater Estuary, salt marshes and Essex countryside right on our doorstep. This surrounding area is home to an incredible variety of wildlife.

We see wildlife around the factory and have even had oystercatchers nesting on our roof.

So becoming a Platinum Corporate Member of Essex Wildlife Trust just felt like a very natural fit.

For C&M, it’s about doing business responsibly and recognising that we also have a big part to play to keep the wildlife in our area safe.

We’re looking forward to working with the Essex Wildlife Trust.
