Who are we?

Situated in North West England with easy access to motorway systems, We are ideally located to service the needs of our customers in mainland Britain. Additionally for overseas customers we are served by our local airport in Liverpool and by Manchester International airport which is just 30 minutes away. First class equipment, trained personnel, quality procedures and the desire to ensure complete customer satisfaction are the essential ingredients of our success record.

Design Services

Here at Averhirst we can help turn that initial idea into a finished product using our comprehensive draught & design service.

Our system is fully computerised, featuring the latest CAD/CAM software enabling us to produce detailed & accurate drawings, plotted on paper sizes from A3 thru to A0

Once your components have been designed on the computer the drawing may be transferred to our Cam system for CNC program preparation . Or alternatively you may wish to E-mail your drawings as an E-mail "attachment".

Manufacturing

Over the years we have established a reputation for being able to undertake the most challenging of components, whether it be because of the tightness of their tolerances or the complexity of their geometry. We operate "Precision cad/cam" an advanced CNC programming package which is particularly useful in this application.

Presswork

Tooling engineers form the back bone of our production environment here at Averhirst. First class training of all our operators and technicians is essential to achieve the high production efficiency which we attain.

To meet the requirements of the many diverse industries which have a need for metal pressings and assemblies we have a fully equipped press shop. Offering press capacities from 6 to 50 tons and up to 120 strokes per minute.

Toolmaking Services

The manufacture and maintenance of high quality tooling can only be accomplished by quality toolmakers equipped with precision machines. Through many years of experience we have developed tool manufacturing techniques enabling high quality tooling at a competitive price.

We can offer complete back-up punch and die sections for tools which are totally interchangeable and replaceable without the need for any further lengthy fitting time.

Spark Erosion & E.D.M Services

When you need high speed production, our wire and spark EDM(Electric Discharge Machining) is the solution. This allows us to produce any complex shape you need, in any conductive material, and in any quantity. Your parts will be made to high accuracy under Computer Numerical Control in only a fraction of the time normally required.

Benefits of Wire EDM include the cutting of hardened materials, eliminating grinding and sectioning, reducing hand fitting, and increasing productivity. We will save you time ....and money ! We can produce die inserts, blanking punches, gears, keyways, screw machine form tools, extrusion dies, form punches, prototype components, and much more. Let us show you how to save substantial costs. For no cost evaluation of your next potential Wire or spark EDM job, fax, mail, or e-mail us your drawings or sketches.
