AS9100 Accreditation Awarded!
We are delighted to announce that after many months of hard work we have been awarded the prestigious AS9100 accreditation. This was no mean feat and involved many hours of extra work from our staff who, along with our working practices, were subject to scrupulous inspection.
The high quality standards to which we work, along with our commitment to customer care, have been recognised by this award and we are looking forward to being able to build upon this prosperously.
Many thanks to all staff who have been involved in this process.

The big one is coming…..
Our latest exciting £340,000 investment, the impressive Doosan MX2600ST Twin spindle, single turret lathe with a 5 axis milling head attached, is arriving at Ultra Precision soon!
As you can see when you watch this machine in action, this new addition allows us to machine all faces in one hit. With the ability to handle material from 10mm up to 760mm in diameter it has 52 tool stations and a 12,000 rpm milling speed, along with a substantial 1540mm maximum part length.
We have already been able to calculate and offer customer savings of 60%.
If you have parts with angled holes or milled details, or just complex parts which you feel will benefit from one hit machining, send us details in advance so you can see the savings a one hit machine can deliver.
We will be set to start offering you savings in the middle of May.

Engineering and Lego – the perfect combination?
It takes a lot to capture the imagination of children these days. One of the latest Lego innovations, Mindstorm, does just that with clever use of a number of sensors. Touch, light, sound and distance sensors are all used to enhance creativity by the use of simple programming tools.
Mindstorm is also inspiring students to learn valuable engineering concepts to prepare them for future careers in engineering and technology. Read more about Mindstorm and another inspiring technological toy, Go Sphero.
