ADVANCED METALS Blanking Plate Sawing Coil Slitting Guillotining Vinyl Coating Tube Honing Our Additional Processing options provide us with the possibility to supply your engineering raw materials in sizes, lengths, finishes and coatings that are already one-step closer to the finished component you have in mind. For many customers the most inefficient manufacturing operations are the initial 'cutting-to-size' operations that tie-up machines and operators that are meant to be doing more complicated work. This is where we can help. Cost Saving Many component manufacturing processes begin with a number of simple, repetitive cutting operations. Operations such as billeting, sawing, blanking, guillotining and profiling are all processes that require dedicated machines and operators for what are usually very inefficient jobs. We believe that these jobs are better handled for you by us and we have invested nearly a million pounds in processing equipment to do it! Due to the volume of cutting jobs that we process for our customers, we are able to pass on our costs economically. Our equipment is designed for multi cutting operations and operated to maximise efficiency. Our saws, for example, work 24 hours a day. By using our additional processing services you will be able to free-up your skilled people and machines to concentrate on the part of your manufacturing process that adds value. However, you will also be making cost savings from reduced scrap, paperwork and inspections. In many cases it’s even possible to reduce capital machinery costs. See reverse for full list of processing services and tolerances. • You avoid ‘hidden’ costs associated with scrap, paperwork and inspections • You start with quality material.
