Cost Effective Manufacturing

A key attribute to the team at we at ALNO Product Services is its resourceful thinking, a skill in itself. We pride ourselves on the ability of being able to react to any situation that is presented.

We can only do this because the personnel in our employ are highly trained, highly skilled and are highly motivated towards our particular fields of excellence. Over 75% of our employees have been in house trained where our philosophy is we love taking on challenges that other people will not look at.

This basis for ideas offers higher levels of commitment from the team when we are considering new ideas in terms of prototype development combined with product testing.

The milling section offers 4 Axis vertical milling up to diameters of 900mm in terms of turning we offer machining of diameters up 300mm over 750mm length. Our Grinding facilities range from cylindrical surface and centre-less Grinders. Our EDM machining pocket 450 x400 x200 offering high grade machining and finish for both Hardened soft and ceramic materials.

The design office has recently upgraded to SolidWorks 2013 and the Autodesk compatible - Draft-sight 2013. A full Design & build service is available. With the design & build facility in mind we also support our projects and support by request with an on-site capability.

Toolmaking

The team at Alnop Product Services  are highly skilled toolmakers the operate in a fully equipped toolroom that includes spark erosion, CNC turning and 3 axis milling ensures that we can cope with requirements ranging from simple machining to the manufacture of multistage presstools and multi cavity injection moulds.

Obviously, there are a multitude of operations and processes within these parameters so we are always willing to discuss and advise on any requirements.
 
We keep in stock a good selection of general plastics and standard colours that enable us to respond quickly to our customers needs. Finished components are checked, desprued and bulk bagged, although special requests for assembly and packaging can be accommodated.

95% of our customers’ moulds have been designed and manufactured in our toolroom are maintained and kept ready for use, again enabling a quick response to your requirements.

The production side of the business not only utilises our machining and press facilities, but can include the sawing of customers materials. For example aluminium extrusions and sections can be cut either on our automatic cut-off saws, producing high quantities of precision cut components or our double head mitre saws that are able to cope with longer sections. 

Components can be deburred and packed ready for dispatch or go onto other processes that include CNC milling or routing (for the machining of intricate profiles and cut-outs), custom-made punching and preparation of sections, drilling, tapping, tumbling and final packing.
