Services
Our CNC machining services
We take care of the whole chain: machining, fixtures, inspection and finishing. You get one supplier and one contact person.
CNC milling
Vertical machining centres with indexing tables, pallet changers and robot loading.
5-axis machining
The Brother Speedio M300 machines complex parts in a single set-up and can also turn.
Series contract manufacturing
Robot cells and fast machines deliver consistent quality and competitive prices.
Fixture design
Fixtures designed for your specific part, in-house or with local partners.
Finishing
Surface treatment, blasting and marking are arranged so that the part is delivered ready.
Examples of parts we make
A selection of parts we have milled and turned in our workshop.
Production
Eight Japanese CNC machines
Brother, Fanuc, Mazak and Mori-Seiki: seven machining centres and one CNC lathe. Several machines share the same working range, so we can move production between them for full flexibility.
- 5-axis machining on a Brother Speedio M300 with turning capability
- Pallet changer on a Brother Speedio R650X1 with 22 tools
- Robot cells on three machines, including a Fanuc Robodrill
- CNC lathe Mori-Seiki NL2500 with Y-axis and sub-spindle, bar up to Ø80 mm
Quality
Inspected quality and high delivery precision
- Coordinate measuring machine (CMM) for checking dimensions and geometry.
- Height gauges and hand-held gauges such as callipers, thread gauges and micrometers at every machine.
- Operators stop at deviations. Defects in material or castings are flagged early and corrected before they lead to scrap.
- Flexible planning. Equivalent machines let us move jobs and keep the promised delivery date.
Measuring room
CMM
Critical dimensions are checked on our own coordinate measuring machine, and operators measure continuously at the machine throughout the series.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about contract manufacturing with us
Which materials do you machine?
We machine aluminium, zinc, brass, copper, steel, stainless steel and plastics, both bar stock and castings.
Can you handle larger series?
Yes. Three of our machining centres have robot loading, which allows us to run larger series efficiently and even unmanned.
Do you make your own fixtures?
Yes. We design fixtures ourselves or together with local partners and have our own fixture workshop with manual machines.
How do you check quality?
We measure on our own coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and with height gauges, thread gauges and micrometers. Deviations in material or castings are flagged early so they can be corrected before they lead to scrap.
Where are you located?
We are located in Hestra in Jönköping County, Sweden, close to Gnosjö and Gislaved.
