its success is the quality of the assemblies supplied. Every order is a priority and, as Mr Reeves puts it, “there is no room to have a bad day”.
Wiedemann turret punch presses
and Trumpf laser cutting machines are used on sheet metal gauges up to 15 mm, while thicker plate is profiled on a Flow water jet cutting machine.
Materials processed by the subcontractor include steels and non-ferrous metals including stainless steel and aluminium. All are suitable for processing in the PDJ Vibro equipment prior to fabrication, either by hand or in two Fanuc robotic welding cells. Stove
enamelling and powder coating are also carried out on site.
