Our Workshop | Neptune Custom Engineering Ltd.
It's hard to know if we're the solution for you if you don't know our capabilities. Take a look here to see what our machines can do.
What Our Workshop Produces
We offer two things here at Neptune Custom Engineering, solutions and products! You might think they're the same thing but our solutions are solutions to problems we've encountered and our products are things we produce for our clients and for specific markets. Take a look at them by clicking on the respective link below.
Our Solutions
We've come up with some pretty clever solutions to problems here at Neptune Custom Engineering and we're quite proud of the way we've solved them. Go here to see which solutions we've produced and how you can get your hands on them or ask us to solve a problem for you!
Our Products
We have a growing range of products we're producing here, including for our clients and for our own range of parts. Visit this page to see what we've been producing and what we're looking to produce in the future!
Let's Go!Hardinge-Bridgeport XR760 CNC Mill (Added Dec 2014)
This Bridgeport XR760 is our most modern machine, which we mainly use for the production of larger items. With a roomy interior for plenty of space to machine, it is capable of machining pretty much any size item to our maximum size. It is better suited for the removal of stock aluminium, so it is also used for profiling work.
- Number of Axes: 3
- X Axis Travel: 760mm
- Y Axis Travel: 610mm
- Z Axis Travel: 610mm
- Tool Stations: 30, with BT40 BIG PLUS tool-holders for increased rigidity.
- Motor Power: 21 kW
- Spindle Speed: 12000 rpm
Full machine specifications are available here: The XR760.
Bridgeport VMC460 CNC Mill
The Bridgeport VMC 460 is our smaller mill, mainly intended for production work of smaller, longer run items. Capable of machining a range of materials and a variety of small to medium sizes. It can handle some larger items, though we favour our larger mill for such tasks.
- Number of Axes: 3
- X Axis Travel: 460mm
- Y Axis Travel: 350mm
- Z Axis Travel: 480mm
- Tool Stations: 16
- Motor Power: 7.5 kW
- Spindle Speed: 6000 rpm
Colchester Tornado A50 CNC Lathe
Our main workhorse lathe, this machine until recently was our only CNC lathe. Due to the need to increase capacity, our A90 was added. This lathe primarily does our smaller diameter parts work and is set up to bar feed for hands-off production.
- Number of Axes: 2
- X Axis Travel: 170mm
- Z Axis Travel: 350mm
- Loading Types: Manual, Bar-fed
- Tool Stations: 12
- Pipe Capacity: 1.3/4" diameter
- Collet Chuck Capacity: 1.5/8" diameter
- 3-Jaw Chuck Capacity: 6" diameter
- Motor Power: 5.5 kW
- Spindle Speed: 6000rpm
Colchester Tornado A90 CNC Lathe
This lathe is our latest addition to the workshop, with a larger size capacity for larger materials to make a wider range of parts. It increased our turning capacity so that we could handle more turning work. It also has a more powerful motor, which makes it more capable for dealing with more resistant materials.
- Number of Axes: 2
- X Axis Travel: 230mm
- Z Axis Travel: 450mm
- Loading Types: Manual, Bar-fed
- Tool Stations: 12
- Collet Chuck Capacity: 2" diameter
- 3-Jaw Chuck Capacity: 6.8" diameter
- Motor Power: 11 kW
- Spindle Speed: 4000rpm
Manual Machines
Although we vastly favour CNC lathes and mills for our work, occasionally there isn't any need to program or set up a machine for production. We also use manual mills and lathes for modification work, which allows us to easily perform low volume modifications on produced parts. So far, we have: 2 manual turret mills 2 manual lathes of various sizes, optional end-stop on 2 of them.
