Universal Engineering has an extensive range of machining facilities across our two main sites in Weymouth. Working from data, drawings or CAD models, both traditional and advanced manufacturing techniques are used to produce parts and products from a few grams up to several tonnes.

We have an extensive range of both 4 and 5 axis CNC milling machines producing safety critical parts for a number of International Blue Chip Companies.

The high performance machining of exotic alloys such as titanium, high carbon steels and high nickel alloys such as Inconel are fully automated, utilising programs linked to CATIA and CAD files. These fully automated machines can be mirrored to allow concurrency of activity, streamlining productivity and providing condensed lead times.

Universal Engineering’s capabilities also include the production of assemblies such as close-tolerance parts for aerospace and industrial controls to large scale projects which include those for subsea and military markets.

Process Capability Analysis and survey reporting functions (where projects are re-engineered) are carried out by our project management team.

Our production personnel are fully conversant with SPC and TQM techniques.

Quality accreditations include ISO9001:2000 and AS EN 9100 as well as certification to SC21 (Supply Chain 21). Quality, testing and inspection facilities include 3-axis CMM machines with direct CMM comparison to original specification and evaluation of CATIA data for the whole-of-life production cycle.

Testing centres provide destructive and non-destructive testing for strength and integrity, hardness, conductivity, magnetic permeability, metallurgy and chemical analysis.

A range of grinding, turning, cutting and bending capabilities are also carried out across our Dorset facilities.
