Our Services

Our turning department consist of the very latest CNC machines to include Citizen sliding heads along with a number of fixed head machines.

We operate the Citizen L12, L20, A20 and A32’s in the sliding heads and our range of fixed head machines are Miyano ABX64’S and Colchester Tornado.

This means we are able to offer from 1.0 mm to 64.0 mm through bar feed and 203.0 mm in billet form.

All our machines are under 5 years old and are constantly upgraded so that Southfields Engineering has the very latest technology in there sector.

With our full CAD CAM programming capabilities we can offer multiple axis programming facilities.

We are able to offer centreless grinding, both through-feed and plunge grinding.

Through-Feed Grinding: Can be utilised for bars, shafts, and other components. Parts of more than one diameter can be ground using the through-feed process if the diameter being ground is the largest diameter on the part and it comprises the majority of the overall part length. If multiple diameters need to be ground on the same part, this form of grinding can often be combined with other grinding processes to carry out the customer’s requirements efficiently and cost effectively.

Plunge Grinding: Is generally used for components that require grinding up to a shoulder or a larger diameter. The work-piece moves in axially between the grinding wheels, stops for the grinding operation, and then moves out again. Again this form of grinding offers the customer a cost effective, efficient service.
