At Oldham Engineering Ltd, we pride ourselves on being industry leaders in five axis machining. With over 160 years of engineering heritage, we have consistently invested in the latest manufacturing technologies to ensure that our clients benefit from precision, accuracy, and efficiency.
Whether you need a single prototype or high‐volume batches, our five axis CNC capabilities enable us to tackle complex shapes and curved surfaces with ease and in impressive detail.
What Five Axis Machining Brings to Your Project
Five axis machining allows for simultaneous movement across five axes, giving us the ability to produce components that would be very difficult, or even impossible, with more basic machines. We use this technology to machine highly intricate 3D forms and curved surfaces with smooth finishes.
The process also reduces the number of setups required, which lowers the risk of error and saves valuable time. By working more efficiently, even on difficult geometries, we deliver quality parts more quickly and consistently.
Our Capabilities and Facilities
We operate from a substantial facility with over 150,000 square feet of in‐house space devoted to everything from machining to fabrication and complex assembly. Our machining capacity is broad: we have heavy horizontal and vertical boring, CNC milling, large vertical machining centres and importantly, multiple five axis machines that allow us to produce everything from precise small parts to large, complex components.
Where Our Five Axis Expertise Makes a Difference
Industries that demand high fidelity, tight tolerances and complex geometries; such as nuclear, defence, and oil and gas; are ones where our five axis machining really shines.
Clients continuously rely on us for components that must perform reliably under severe conditions and often to strict regulatory or safety standards. By choosing our five axis machining, you are choosing a partner with experience, accredited quality systems and proven delivery.
Your Project, Our Commitment
We aim to make working with us as straightforward as possible. From your first enquiry through design, machining, finishing and assembly, our commitment is to precision and customer satisfaction.
