Customers for APT’s turned parts and CNC milled components can take advantage of a bespoke assembly service and receive their products ready to fit.

Once components have been machined, the final product is assembled to the client’s specification in a clean and controlled environment within an on-site dedicated area.

APT machines, finishes, assembles, tests and checks components. The assembled products can be found in all kinds of industries including aerospace, medical, security and oil & gas industries. The company says this optimises efficiency, quality and cost for its customers.

Recently, APT has completed the assembly of some hydraulic inertia pumps. In the past couple of months, it has been assembling anodised black aluminium aerospace parts, designed to be fitted into fighter pilots’ helmets. APT also regularly assembles parts for specialist medical equipment, aircraft landing equipment and breathing apparatus. APT Leicester offers a complete mill turning,  high quality finishing and assembly package for andy size or complexity of design.

APT machines and assembles components in a wide range of materials including yellow metals, stainless steels, alloys and super-alloys as well as plastics. It operates high-speed fixed head and sliding head lathes, using bar fed lathes with sub spindles and live tooling for optimum productivity.

Each finished piece is rigorously inspected before it leaves the site. There is full traceability under the AS9100 and ISO 9001 accreditations, with all assemblies produced to both standards, even if they are not intended for use in the aerospace sector. All aspects of the production process are continuously monitored, 24/7, via visual screens throughout the site and which can be accessed remotely.

Nick Baller, Managing Director of APT, says: “At APT, we are excited to provide efficient and high-quality component assembly as part of the full-service package that we can offer our customers worldwide.”
