CNC Machining & Manual Precision Machining “A machine shop that makes its own castings and fabrications”
Recent CNC additions include a Doosan twin pallet, horizontal machining centre and Johnford bridge mill, covering machining in X-axis of 3.1m,Y-axis 1.8m and Z-axis 1.6m. Our CNC section is supplemented by a comprehensive conventional section comprising Horizontal Boring, Planing, Universal Milling, Turning and Drilling capabilities.This gives us the added flexibility for prototype, small batch and fixture works. The whole workshop is enhanced by our excellent quality control department. Dimensional accuracy is assured with our three CMMs enabling a measuring range up to 2000mm in X axis, 1000mm in Y axis and 800mm in Z axis with Renishaw probes and controls. We have recently added a 3m (10 feet) FARO arm for mobile CMM capeability and boast electronic height gauge and inspection grade granite table in temperature controlled environment. The foundries provide extensive in-house facilities for casting heat treatment, chemical and mechanical analysis, x-ray, dye penetrant and ultrasonic inspection. These, coupled with our full range of conventional inspection equipment, ensure the comprehensive quality control of our casting, fabricating and machining capability. We have on site pressure testing facilities, a paint shop and sub assembly area and frequently arrange alochroming, anodising and other final processing. Coupled with machine building facilities, all at the Ashford site, sourcing of machined and finished castings and fabrications, of almost any size and volume, is achieved with a single order.
Operating foundries and a welding facility adjacent to our machine shop in Ashford, Kent, realises MJ Allen’s drive to provide a quality, integrated service for casting, machining, fabricating, painting, assembling and machine building. MJ Allen supplies fully machined castings and fabrications to defence, medical, marine, OE and automotive (Ford) industries in the UK, Europe and North America and is certified to ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001. The ability to supply components from drawing to fully machined castings carries many benefits in both cost and time and yields other efficiencies. We reduce our customers’ administration and transportation. Problem solving is quicker and easier as casting and machining are carried out at the same site.As we are responsible for manufacturing the whole package our customer does not get caught in “pass the buck” wrangles between subcontractors. These advantages have benefited many customers who place one order and progress through a single contact for complete components of almost any size and quantity. Our growing customer list sustains our belief in the future and this confidence has maintained our ongoing investment in the most up to date CNC and manually operated plant and machinery, backed up by a highly sophisticated inspection facility.
