Tooling Solutions

Quality components can only be manufactured with well-designed and well-maintained tooling. At Bracebridge Engineering, we offer tooling solutions such as:

• Technical support in the design phase
• Single operation tooling, including piercing, blanking and forming
• Deep drawing with air cushion
• Multi-stage coil-fed progression tooling
• Transfer press tooling
• Special purpose tooling
• Secondary operation and assembly tooling

We have been making presswork tools for over 25 years, so you can count on us for quality and accuracy. For precision results, presswork tooling needs to be well-maintained. With specialised welding technologies at our disposal, we're able to keep your tools in top condition.

Welding

As well as toolmaking and metalwork pressing, Bracebridge Engineering offers a number of other metal fabrication services. One of these is welding. Ongoing investment into the very latest welding technologies enables us to take on a range of welding projects, including spot welding and seam welding. Our welding engineers have a wealth of experience working across a range of industrial sectors, including aerospace, automotive and marine. If you would like to find out about our welding capacity, please give us a call. We'll discuss all projects, no matter how simple or complex, so do not hesitate to get in touch.

Assembly

We understand that different clients have different manufacturing needs. Some require unassembled components, while others need their products in the assembled condition or as kits with other parts. At Bracebridge Engineering, we can work to the most convenient method of supply, whether that's a Kanban system or holding safety stocks in completed form. Whatever your manufacturing needs, Bracebridge Engineering can provide the solutions. Get in touch to find out more about our product assembly services.

Tube Sawing

Bracebridge Engineering has a range of metalwork fabrication facilities at its disposal, including several high quality Adige automatic tube saws. These allow us to cut metal tubes exactly to your specifications, up to 75 mm dia. To find out more about this service, please get in touch our experts by telephone.

Finishing

Metal finishing is an extremely important manufacturing process. Without it, metal components would quickly corrode and wear out. Processes like anodising, electro-plating, mechanical plating, hardening and powder coating improve corrosion resistance, wear resistance, tarnish resistance, torque tolerance, reflectivity and appearance. Certain processes can also enhance electrical properties such as conductivity and resistance. Others are used to form and shape components, and even enhance the components' ability to be bonded with adhesives. Simpler metal finishing processes include painting and ceramic coating. To find out more about our metalwork finishing capabilities, visit the Bracebridge Engineering website or get in touch directly.
