Precision at Every Step: New CMZ CNC Machine Arrives at Tarvin Precision
There was a sizeable new arrival at Tarvin Precision this week as the latest addition to our machining capacity made the journey from Bilbao in Spain to our facility in North Wales. Our new CMZ TA Series CNC machine was transported directly by CMZ, leaving Bilbao...
Aerospace Design for Manufacture: A Practical Guide to Machined Components
Aerospace design for manufacture is the process of developing components that meet their functional, safety and performance requirements while also being practical to machine, inspect, finish and reproduce. It brings manufacturing knowledge into the design stage so...
Aerospace Titanium Machining vs Inconel Aerospace Components and Aerospace Aluminium Machining
Choosing between titanium, Inconel and aluminium for an aerospace component is not simply a question of comparing strength, weight or corrosion resistance. The material specified on a drawing directly affects how the part will be machined, how long production will...
Inside the Part: CNC Machined Aluminium Parts for Scientific Instruments
Precision parts used in scientific instrument manufacture often need to do more than simply fit together. They may need to support alignment, protect sensitive internal features, provide repeatable assembly points, withstand regular handling and maintain a clean,...
Sustainability and Social Value in Manufacturing: Why Your CNC Machining Partner Matters
Sustainability and social value in manufacturing are becoming increasingly important for engineering buyers, procurement teams and organisations that want more from their supply chain than price and delivery alone. In precision engineering, the right manufacturing...
Inside the Part: CNC Machined Aerospace Gearbox Casings
Aerospace components often require more than accurate machining. They may also need controlled material selection, specialist inspection, surface treatment, masking, painting, documentation and a clear quality record from start to finish. For this project, Tarvin...
CNC Milling vs CNC Turning: A Buyer’s Guide to Choosing the Right Machining Process
When sourcing precision machined components, one of the first questions many buyers ask is whether a part should be CNC milled or CNC turned. Both processes are widely used in modern manufacturing, and both can produce accurate, repeatable and high-quality components....
CNC Machining Tolerances: A Buyer’s Guide to Accuracy, Fit and Inspection
CNC machining tolerances are one of the most important factors in the performance, cost and reliability of precision machined components. Whether a part is being produced for aerospace, motorsport, scientific equipment, industrial machinery or specialist...
Inside the Part: CNC Machined Aluminium Assembly for Scientific Applications
Precision engineering for scientific applications often involves more than producing a single machined component. Many projects require a complete assembly approach, where individual machined features, internal components, fasteners, surface treatment and final fit...
CNC Machining Materials: A Buyer’s Guide to Choosing the Right Material for Precision Components
Choosing the right CNC machining materials is one of the most important decisions in any precision engineering project. Material choice affects cost, lead time, machining performance, tolerance capability, surface finish, corrosion resistance, strength, weight and...
Sub Assembly Services: A Guide for UK Manufacturers Buying Machined Component Assemblies
Sub assembly services can help manufacturers reduce internal workload, simplify supplier management and receive machined components in a more complete, production-ready condition. Instead of buying individual precision parts from one supplier, finishes from another,...
