Heavy machining arrives at Di-Spark Ltd, via AgieCharmilles HPM milling centres

Heavy Machining of AS9100 Aerospace Sub-Contract Components & Sub-Assemblies


Heavy Machining of Satellite Components, at Di-Spark Ltd

To handle the machining of heavy components & sub-assemblies, Di-Spark Ltd have invested in Agie’ HPM heavy machining work centres, offering a 1600KG, 1350mm by 1150mm work table capacity. The HPM heavy machining centres provide CNC 5 axis machining capability, expanding the range of precision, high specification manufacturing options at Di-Spark. Suitable for steels, alloys, plastics & exotic materials, such as titanium alloys and aerospace materials, heavy & rough machining has much to offer high-technology sectors such as Aerospace, Defence & Energy Markets.

Heavy & Precise Finish Machining, Via Lean Manufacturing

The heavy machining capacity enables the machining of heavy components such as satellite sub-assemblies, larger structural components such as motorsport chassis components & sub-frames, as well as the manufacture of high-strength components for oil & gas exploration/drilling. In addition to heavy-rough machining, HPM 5 axis manufacturing is capable of fine, precise finish machining, and CNC programming ensures that both processes are achieved in a lean, costs effective manner.

AS9100c Heavy Machining, World-Class QMS

To assist an economic work-flow & ensuring optimal quality of manufacture, whilst retaining control of costs within a lean manufacturing framework, we constantly review CMS & Cad/Cam performance, with recent investments into both Quality Control Management & Cad/Cam, in terms of hardware, software and strategic positioning of office space for both of these cells.

Di-Spark: Working at close quarters With Machining Partners

Di-Spark work closely with customer and supplier partners to keep abreast of market conditions, harness new, exciting machining innovations & keep a step ahead. In the words of David Light, Managing Director at Di-Spark, ‘If you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backwards…’.
