The Lee Spring catalogue has always offered springs with relatively high spring rates or workable (maximum) loads. But often, the standard outside diameters were too wide to fit within the intended application assembly requirements, or the lengths too long and bulky.

Now Lee Spring has introduced 'Skinny & Strong', low index, High Pressure Compression Springs. This new firm, slender spring design offers a high spring rate in a smaller compression spring diameter, without sacrificing any of the pressure and is ideal for operation in confined spaces.

One of the latest parts from out twin spindle, twin turret lathes.

Manufactured from a 3.5 inch aluminium billet in one cycle. Holes in the back are tied up positionally to the bore in the front by 0.015mm.

While many installations of sealing gasket profiles fit the pattern of a common design, e.g. enclosure door seals, we can readily see from a quick glance at typical applications that often new sections are needed to fit new equipment designs. While being generally of a common concept, e.g. a “P” profile form, the detail design and execution required to perform correctly in-situ may be significantly different from a standard production item. Custom-made products include: frames, rings, lengths, butyl, mastic, flock coating, notching, gluing, slip coating etc.

Manchester Print Services is meeting demand for bespoke point of sale and display textiles with laser cutting and routing.

Based in Middleton, Manchester Print Services has grown over its eight-year history to attract a range of customers in the retail POS and exhibitions markets. Recognising that these industries were moving away from typical board graphics and towards fabric materials, the business has invested in dye-sublimation and direct-to-textile printing systems and, in 2018, a new Blackman & White laser cutting and routing table. 

Rockwood Composites has increased its workforce by 50% and is building two new 100 tonne presses to meet growing aerospace demand.

Almond Engineering has purchased a second Hurco 5-axis machining centre with swivelling B-axis spindle as it invests to keep pace with new medical sector orders.

The company purchased the first machine, a VMX42SRTi, in 2016 when it doubled the size of its premises.

Managing director Chris Smith favours this style of 5-axis machining centre over the trunnion-mounted rotary table arrangement due to its versatility for tackling a greater variety of work, including 4-axis machining of large components.
