We are specialists in high-tech optical / mechanical product manufacture.
Machine shop
Vision Engineering Technology Partnerships’ UK and USA machine shop houses an extensive, modern milling, turning and grinding capability (both CNC and manual), supported by state-of-the-art quality control facilities.
Additionally, a substantial tool room with skilled toolmakers provides prototyping and short run/small batch parts.
Kitamura
In our UK facility our latest acquisition includes a Kitamura 4-axis, 50 tool, 2 pallet horizontal machining centre for fast and accurate milling of simple to complex parts. Complex parts can be produced in a single operation using multiple setups with multiple datums, and enables us to achieve 5-axis parts quickly with great repeatability.
Mazak Hyper Quadrex
These powerful machines can be geared up to run 24/7 with file loader, powerful machine and bespoke parts catcher.
Manual machining
Our lathes and mills include xyz, protoTRAK software and okamoto grinder allow us great capability for producing one of parts and reverse engineering.
Citizen M20 & M30
These lathes are great for large runs of complex threaded parts and can operate for long hours.
