We have been providing quality precision components for UK manufacturing for more than 40 years. As exclusive representatives for many leading international component manufacturers, our key product lines include gears, bearings, precision components, linear systems and specialist lubricants. We are ISO 9001:2008 and AS9120 Aerospace Quality Standards approved for the stockholding and distribution of precision bearings, transmission components and allied products. We offer a high degree of commercial and technical service to our customers and serve a wide range of industries including aerospace, robotics, defence, nuclear, offshore wind and renewable energy, motorsport and machine tool.
The leading supplier of collaborative robots (cobots) in the UK, we offer a range of flexible, 6 axis robotic arms that, due to the robots integral safety systems, can be operated safely without costly external guarding. Designed to be lightweight and portable, with intuitive programming a key feature, the robots can be easily integrated into many existing production environments. With an average 195 day payback period, our cobots make it possible for companies to automate almost anything!
The new generation of advanced mobile robots is ideal for the automation of internal transport and logistics solutions. The MiR is designed to optimise workflows, free-up staff resources for more valuable tasks and allow users to increase productivity, shorten delivery times and reduce costs. High operational efficiency means rapid return on investment, often with a payback period of less than a year. The robot equipped with a cobot arm, mounted on top, can be programmed to undertake a variety of tasks such as collecting and delivering parts, unloading machines and assembling components.
Our off-the-shelf complimentary cobot grippers, available in 2-finger and 3-finger configurations are known for their ease of integration and user-friendliness. All grippers are supplied complete with auto-install pre-packaged subroutines for easy programming.
Specifically designed to sit on our collaborative robot, the Vision System shortens set-up time to just five minutes, without the need for complex calibration procedures or extra an external light source, thus simplifying integration and opening up many new possibilities for automation.
To give the cobot a sense of touch, our range of sensors provides a stable, precise measurement of force applied on the process or part. This allows the automation of high precision tasks such as product testing, assembly and precise part insertion. With path recording software, users can easily set up complex trajectories without waypoints.
This software greatly simplifies the teaching of assembly and similar operations creating new application opportunities for collaborative robots. The robot programming suit has integrated the latest technologies in machine learning, motion planning and motion control for robotic manipulation into a robust, easy-to-use software package that is fully compatible with cobots and force torque sensors. Designed to work directly with CAD systems, users can import their applications as a solid model and program the robot offline.
Our range of high quality adjusting slides allows the linear system to be set up for the specific positioning needs of the application. Every axis configuration is achievable. The IEF range of hand operation slides can also be equipped with either a dovetail, cross roller or Teflon guides.

The latest addition to the slide range is domiLINE, the variable-combination adjustable slide system. This visually and technically sound modular system is available in a large number of different variants and widths. There are also combinations with and without mechanical locking devices, with a spindle or, if desired, a pneumatic or motor drive.

There has been a growing demand for non-corrodible bearing units from a variety of different industries- ranging from food and pharmaceuticals, to chemical. The solution was a range of thermoplastic bearing housings. The housings are non-corrodible and therefore resist highly alkaline, acidic and salt solutions, as well as being strong, long-wearing and shock resistant. Furthermore, unlike other materials, the plastic housings are scratch resistant, easy to clean and resistant to the growth of microorganisms. It's worth noting that alongide plastic, stainless steel housings are also available.
With many years of experience working across different industries, we understand the importance of custom products.
