Manufacturing Plant List

Bending and Forming Assembly Drilling

A strong front-end CAD/CAM computer department greatly facilitates the speed and efficiency with which customers' information either in the form of conventional drawings or disc can be processed through to production.
Extensive CNC high precision Murata punching capacity is provided by two 45 ton 52 station machines and two 22 ton 29 station machines; all are fitted with auto indexing and automatic sheet positioning. Punching capacity has been increased with the addition of a Motrum 2048 high speed press.
Many of the features generally associated with much larger companies for high production output are encompassed by New Forest Precision's large range of machines in particular CNC punching, providing up to 1,000 hits per minute at 25mm centers.
The punching sections are complemented by a variety of cutting, bending, welding and automatic insertion machines. All deburring and surface graining is carried out in-house, whilst plating and painting is carried out via approved specialist contractors of 30 years standing.

CNC PROGRAMMING
Two TMT CAD/CAM workstation, dual screen with AutoCAD DWF and DXF interface, random shape automatic nesting, automatic program and tool selection, optimisation and sheet utilisation.
We are able to take customers CAD data via DXF direct from disk or electronic via e-mail, this is then fed to any machine via DNC. next back to top
