Kennewell offers comprehensive design services, where skilled engineers and designers work closely with clients to conceptualise and create detailed plans for custom machined parts and components. This stage involves CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software to develop precise 3D models and schematics that serve as the foundation for the entire manufacturing process.
Depending on the project, the planning phase at Kennewell involves meticulous consideration of materials, tooling, and production schedules. This step may require extensive prototyping and pre-production runs or just scheduling a production run.
We specialise in producing prototypes, allowing clients to test and validate their designs before committing to full-scale production. Prototyping involves the creation of a small batch of components to assess functionality, fit, and form, enabling any necessary design adjustments and improvements. At times, we also outsource to specialist prototyping bureau.
As a core service, Kennewell excels in precision manufacturing using machines. Kennewell’s technical team will plan the machining strategy and any pre or post machining ops.
Milling is a machining process where a rotary cutting tool removes material from a workpiece to create a specific shape or feature. Kennewell offers milling services, which can range from 3-axis to 5-axis milling, allowing for the creation of complex and intricate parts with great precision. We can do small batches or fully automated production.
Turning is another machining process that involves rotating a workpiece while a cutting tool removes material to create cylindrical components. Kennewell provides turning services that cater to various sizes and materials, producing shafts, pins, and other rotational parts with exceptional accuracy. For automations, we can do Chucking or Barfeed.
After the primary machining processes, Kennewell offers finishing services to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of the components. We can arrange heat treatment and plating by specialists. Typical finishes include case hardening, zinc plating, chrome plating, anodising and polishing.
