Working in collaboration with other teams in the Daresbury Laboratory
Engineering Technology Centre (ETC), we deliver projects for the UK and international clients.
Made up of four teams (sections), we have extensive experience and expertise in the specification, design, project management, manufacture, alignment, contamination control, procurement, lifting and transportation, system integration, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of complex engineering systems.
Our capabilities include:
Precision computer numerical control (CNC) manufacturing
Precision additive manufacturing
Procurement of bespoke manufactured parts
System fabrication
Coded welding, vacuum, and cryogenic system welding
Metrology
Contamination control
Cleanroom design, calibration, and validation
Vacuum systems expertise
Vacuum system integration
Large systems integration
Precision assembly
Lifting and moving of complex, fragile, and expensive equipment
Operational oversight including health and safety management
Our facilities include:
Large capacity assembly areas with 30-tonne overhead crane coverage for large systems integration
Calibrated ultra-low particulate ISO 4 (class 10) cleanrooms, both fixed and mobile
Vibration analysis systems
Precision engineering manufacture including CAD/CAM, CNC (including 5-axis), rapid prototyping using ABS plastic and metal additive manufacturing (AM), inspection, metrology and calibration
Survey and alignment capability including laster trackers, autocollimator, total station, coordinate measuring machines (CMM), and FARO
Arm, area 3D scanners and precision levels enabling precise alignment of complex instruments
Welding and fabrication facilities
Complex rigging, moving, and installation services
We are committed to continuous improvement and staff development. We work within a
Quality Management System and are ISO9001: 2015 accredited.
We also have a vibrant staff training programme that includes our excellent apprenticeships, helping us to develop the technicians and engineers we need to focus on customer requirements and innovative solutions - including the research necessary to enhance our capability to meet our client's changing needs and technological progression.
