We have been in operation since 2011 and serve customers across a range of industries including aerospace, oil and gas, motorsport, packaging, medical and pharmaceutical. With our suite of CNC mills, lathes and grinders we can create a one-off prototype component or run a large batch to an exceptional standard of finish and accuracy. Using our shadowgraph and CNC CMM machines it is possible to measure and reverse engineer a product from a sample provided. We can also produce a component from your supplied CAD drawing or design from scratch in-house. Our management team at PDQ are avid motorsport enthusiasts and regularly create products for motorcycle racing teams, individuals and Championships. We manufacturer components as a trusted sub-contractor for Ducati TriOptions suppliers and GP Originals two-stroke specific race accessories.

Our 5-Axis CNC vertical machining centre made light work of the GP Originals trophies we highlighted last week. These curvaceous 6082 T6 aluminium shapes utilised the robotic arm to automate the tool changes. Cutting the tricky angles and tapping holes all in one visit.

The 2024 motorcycle racing season is now complete and we have another suite of stunning bespoke trophies made for GP Originals in collaboration with designer (and competitor) Sian at Spyre.ltd.uk
The complete set of nine custom awards were presented across three classes – 250, 350 and Masters with 1st, 2nd and 3rd for each. The trophies must be different heights to distinguish the finishing position of each competitor, and of course they need to be highly personalised. We used four of our in-house machines to engineer the flowing shapes, slanted top and fine engraving.

Please read the case study to see how they were made ⇢ https://bit.ly/PDQGPO24

Breaking news… we can now reveal that one of our recent innovative international projects has now been officially launched. Commissioned by BAE Systems Australia and Supacat, PDQ Precision worked on the design and manufacture of critical drive module components used in the new autonomous ground vehicle, the Atlas CCV. This Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) is highly adaptable both on- and off-road, it’s speed and mobility enable it to be deployed as a standalone combat vehicle or in support of a larger infantry force of battle tanks and crewed land vehicles.

Our design team contributed innovative solutions in collaboration with Supacat before our engineers began the manufacture – all delivered to the exacting standards required for a project such as this. Trust, integrity and data security are key for our customers – with recent investment in cybersecurity accreditation Cyber Essentials Plus, we are able to take on new technology, military and government focussed contracts.

With years of experience racing these machines ourselves we enjoyed developing and manufacturing this custom-made banana linkage for the legendary Honda RS250 GP race bike. The NX5 was the single sided swingarm model and in the day this was an upgrade part designed to raise the rear, put more weight on the front to improve turning-in. We recreated the linkage in 7075 Aluminium, selected for its high strength properties. This material is used in aerospace applications and for many highly stressed structural parts where resistance to fatigue and corrosion is critical. Our version was designed to accommodate genuine Honda rose bearings.

This rotary die was designed in-house at PDQ Precision to produce gaskets for the solar industry. We manufactured the rotary die from tool steel, it was hardened and then recut to ensure a single sided and very sharp cutting edge.

This die will cut out four gaskets with every revolution, there is foam ejection fitted to the cavity between the knives to ensure each gasket is easily released from the four-station knife.

We can reverse engineer all kinds of tools, components or products, please get in touch if you have an unusual or specialised product. We often recreate out-of-production tooling to keep specialist machinery running smoothly in to the future.

We machined and CMM inspected this one-off product using our in-house facilities at PDQ Precision. We were able to create the item directly from their supplied 3D drawing without the customer needing to provide too much technical information.

The product is a towing eye and it will be used on lorries here in the UK. We used a medium tensile, low carbon manganese steel. This material’s robust properties mean it is suitable for welding and offers excellent impact resistance, in particular when used in sub-zero temperatures.

The challenge when machining a large, curved part such as this is to devise a secure way to hold it in the machine. Once made, the towing eye was hand finished prior to welding and finally painted and delivered.
