Blueprint manufacture of custom componentry for high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet systems

The brief: Engaged for task management and precision machining capability under an ISO 9001 quality management system.

Our process: Custom manufacture to client-supplied blueprint, including IP protection and traceability control under ISO 9001. Multi-axis CNC machining, manual milling and turning, EDM wire cutting, and surface grinding, followed by GD&T compliance validation and plating finish.

Materials used: Low-carbon, non-alloy AISI 1006 carbon steel, aluminium alloys, stainless steels.

Technology used: 5-axis CNC machining centres, CNC mill/turn lathes with live tooling, manual mills and lathes, surface grinding, EDM wire cutting, CNC coordinate measuring machine (CMM), digital surface roughness tester. Specialist subcontract services include thermal stress relieving and finish plating.

Quality mechanisms: ISO 9001

Outcome: Componentry supplied in full, on time, and in specification.
