Tell us what it has to do
We hold machining, forming, welding, optical assembly, electronic integration and environmental test in one building — the whole path from a drawing to a sealed, aligned, tested unit.
Most of what we make began as somebody else's requirement rather than our own product idea. A customer arrives with a drawing, or with a function that needs a unit built around it, and we work back from there.
How a requirement becomes a part
You send it
A drawing is ideal. A function and an operating environment is enough to start.
We assess it
Manufacturability, tolerance and material against our process envelope. You get a manufacturability view and a quotation.
We cut the tooling
Tooling and fixture design carried out in-house. We tool for customer programmes.
We build one
Built, dimensionally inspected in our quality room, and submitted with an inspection report.
We validate it
Against the acceptance standard, with environmental exposure where your specification calls for it.
We hold the rate
Into production. If a programme needs capacity we do not have, we tell you what it takes to put it in.
What we have built with it
Mechanical & Structural
Formed, machined and fabricated hardware — the structures everything else mounts to.
Built from: press forming to 420 t · CNC turning and milling · surface grinding · laser and TIG welding · dimensional inspection
Verified by: dimensional inspection in the quality room · hardness testing
Forming, machining and welding sit in one building, so a structure and the parts that bolt into it are made to the same drawing by the same people. We hold the tolerance stack across the whole assembly rather than at each supplier boundary.

Electrical & Electromechanical
Motion, power and thermal control that has to stay accurate while everything around it moves.
Built from: CNC turning · surface grinding · winding · electromechanical assembly · calibration · vibration test · full-band thermal test
Verified by: precision gyroscope test rig · environmental chamber, -50 to +80 °C · vibration testing
Electromechanical subsystems fail at the interface between mechanical and electrical manufacture. We build both sides in-house, so we manage tolerance stack-up as one problem rather than negotiating it between suppliers. We calibrate and verify every unit on a purpose-built gyroscope test rig before release.

Optical & Electro-Optical
Sensing, imaging and vision hardware — from component design to a finished, tested unit.
Built from: precision machining · optical alignment · electronic integration · sealed housing assembly · environmental verification
Verified by: environmental chamber, -50 to +80 °C · dimensional inspection in the quality room
Optical performance is decided by alignment, sealing and thermal stability as much as by the elements themselves. We machine the housing, align the optics, integrate the electronics and verify across the operating band.

Aerial & Autonomous Systems
Structures, subassemblies and software for unmanned aerial platforms.
Built from: composite additive manufacture · CNC machining · assembly · dimensional inspection · vibration test
Verified by: vibration testing · dimensional inspection in the quality room
Aerial platforms punish mass and reward stiffness. We keep design, machining, composite printing and assembly in the same building, which means more revisions can be built and flown before the design is locked.

Systems Software & Intelligence
The integration layer that ties the sensing hardware together.
Built from: algorithm development · multi-sensor integration · calibration data · field verification
Verified by: not yet verified — this layer is in development
Hardware-agnostic by design: we combine inputs from disparate sources through our own algorithms rather than binding to one sensor or processor architecture. This layer is in development. The lines below are marked accordingly and we will not claim otherwise until they ship.
