  • CNC Machine Shop in Great Harwood

    CNC Machine Shop in Great Harwood !!!

    We are pleased to announce the opening of our newest facility situated in Great Harwood. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) reduces the frequency of errors and also allows for more flexibility in the way that parts are held in the manufacturing process, it can create curves as easy as straight lines and saves the time required to change the machine used to produce a different component. As CNC Machine’s today are controlled directly from files created by cad software packages, it cuts down the process of having to have drawings done of the part itself, and allows the buyer to go directly from the design to manufacture.

    1We really are a one stop shop !!! Welcome to our newest addition to the Ashley Empire !!!

    Our Powder Coating Cell !!!!

    Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and the powder coating is that the powder coating does not require any form of solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a skin. The unique method in which the paint is applied results in a superior consistency and uniformity of the finish which is free from drips runs and bubbles. The finish is extremely hard and is tougher than conventional paint. The powder coating process wastes less energy unlike many liquid paints, and is also more environmentally friendly because it does not contain any solvents.
