Milling

Vertical & Horizontal CNC Machining centres delivering low & high volume simple or complex precision machined components

Our high speed milling capabilities include 3 to full 5 axis simultaneous machining, which produce complex precision machined components in a wide range of materials inclusive of titanium, aluminium, stainless steel. Maximum envelope sizes range from Ø 800mm H 930mm for our twin pallet horizontal machining centres and L 3000mm W 800mm for vertical machining centres. Experienced skilled machinists and CAD CAM technology offer flexibility to all our customer requirements.

Specialised large vac-chuck work holding system developed in-house for universal / quick-change setup and loading times, increasing productivity and ensure competitive prices for our customers.

With a wide range of CNC machining centres within the ESL group under one roof, and multiple conventional machines. ESL can support all customer needs from development projects to low and high volume batches.

Turning

Extensive range of CNC & conventional turning facilities delivering precision components

Our comprehensive turning department enable us to machine cost effective, high/low volume customer requirements. With over 25 machines and combined 50+ year experience & skills set, ESL are able to produce the most challenging components from a wide variety of materials.

Our sliding head CNC lathes offer a low cost / high volume solution, especially suited to smaller, longer parts. These machines offer continuous production of simple to complex parts in a single operation with fully automated 3m bar feeds.

Mill/Turn

Multifunction Mill/Turn machining Centres delivering cost effective high quality components.

Through continuous investment , ESL has invested in the latest Mill/Turn machining centres which include twin oil cooled spindles, integrated milling spindle and large tool storage capacities. These multi-tasking versatile machining centres produce complex multi-axis simultaneous machining using fewer operations and reduced set up times.

Large capacity machining capability with increased accuracies and repeatability, superior cutting performance and greater process reliability. Low cost high quality complete turned, milled precision parts.

Gear-Cut

High-quality gear cutting since 1962

ESL was founded on the art of gear-cutting, and over many years has developed numerous capabilities and skill set. We are able to offer manufacture complete, or a ‘gear-cut’ only service.

From serrations to spur gears and helical to bevel gears, we have the knowledge and experience to machine a vast range of requirements. From one-off’s to large production quantities.

Splines & Serrations - Internal – Maximum Ø250mm External – Maximum Ø450mm

Bevel Gears - Maximum Ø300mm

Spur Gears - Maximum Ø350mm

Splines & Serrations - Internal – Maximum Ø250mm External – Maximum Ø450mm

We also stock a large range of pulleys within the group as part of the South East Power Transmissions department, and can offer a bespoke precision engineering service to manufacture any pullet to exact specification.

Inspection

Quality control department

ESL’s temperature controlled quality control department in conjunction with the latest coordinate measuring machines and ancillary equipment allow us to produce the highest level of quality throughout the complete manufacturing process.
