Sapphire (Al2O3) is one of the hardest minerals and optical materials available for use in the range from UV up to 5µm. Sapphire is birefringent and if its use is for critical optical application then the crystal might have to be cut along the zero degree plane, or C-Cut. Random cut is usually cut along a plane that is 60° off-axis as the growth in this direction is the easiest to grow. Random cut is anything that is not the C-Cut angle. Sapphire can fluoresce depending upon the concentration of other minerals within the lattice, for example Iron (Fe) or Chromium (Cr). Clear Sapphire might fluoresce orange when illuminated by UV light if impurities are in the crystal. Fluorescent free Sapphire has to be grown from 'pure' feedstock and seed and in an environment that cannot place impurities into the lattice. Click PDF link to read more …...

Because quality counts, OLFA designs, develops and manufactures its products in Japan. Ever since the OLFA CORPORATION, invented the world's first snap-off blade cutter in 1956, OLFA has been committed to developing practical and safe hand-held cutting tools. OLFA brand blades are made with top quality materials, forged with technologies that stem from traditional sword-making, sharpened with technologies that give a blade life, and ultimately finished with the craftsmanship that brings all of this together. The holders and handles that allow users to gain the full cutting performance of these high-quality blades are designed, developed and manufactured in Japan and subjected to stringent quality checks throughout the process.

High quality, fully synthetic cutting oil for cutting, milling and drilling of all FE and NE metals. It offers very good corrosion and wear protection and can be utilized for high cutting speeds and long service life.

Sliding agents for valves and fittings in the oxygen-fuel technology sector, oxygen lances in steel manufacturing, oxygen apparatuses in the medical sector, diving centres as well as for roller and journal bearings in oxygen applications.

Utilising the latest in Fibre Laser Cutting technology Alpha Manufacturing are able to offer a versatile laser cutting service in various material types including; Mild Steel, Coated Steels, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Wood and Plastics. We currently operate one Co2 Bystronic Laser, one Bystronic BySprintFiber 4020 machine and our latest addition to our Laser service, the Trumpf Trulaser 3030 fibre machine. Fibre optic laser is the latest technology in laser cutting, with complete accuracy and ultra high-speed cutting (whilst also using fewer power resources than traditional lasers, meaning reduced costs to the customer).

Davall manufacture spiroid gearing, Spiradrive. A high torque low backlash gear system

Ridat’s Roller Cutting Press (RCP) machines are designed to cut plastic thermoformed sheet, rubber, leather, board, foil and other gasket material, plastic foam, plastic coated or impregnated fabric. Production steps are as follows: Vacuum formed sheet is placed upside down on a cutting mould Board is placed on top and the sandwich is fed through the press A pair of pressure rollers causes the sandwich to press against the steel rule knife within the cutting mould thereby individualising the material. Key machine features include: Solid steel cutting pressure rollers Both pressure rollers are driven Electric motor gearbox drive Dual Control sequence switching - Jog or Run Steel Conveyor rollers CE Mark

Creation of patterns from fashion designer sketches or CADs. This is then turned into a calico toile, fitted on a mannequin or a fitting model and finalised in accordance with designer requirements. Next stage of the sample cutting process is to make the first sample for designer's approval.
