Installation to AfterCare

Expert on-site checks for safe installation

Site Inspection

Before any machine is delivered, we carry out a full site survey. Our engineers check electrical supply, floor loading capacity, extraction requirements, and space layout to confirm your facility is ready. This eliminates surprises and prevents costly downtime at installation.

Benchmarking Machines

We don’t just assess your site, we also benchmark your existing equipment. By measuring current performance and energy usage, we can demonstrate the efficiency gains you’ll achieve with a new machine. This helps build a clear ROI case before investment.

Utility & Compliance Verification

Our inspections include verification of three-phase supply, air lines, and extraction systems. We also check compliance with local safety standards and CE/UKCA requirements, ensuring your installation meets both operational and regulatory standards.

Tailored machine specifications

Understanding Your Requirements

Every factory is different, and so are its production demands. We start by assessing your product mix, material types, thickness ranges, and throughput targets. This ensures that the machine you choose aligns with your real-world manufacturing needs, not just a datasheet.

Machine Selection & Options

From fibre laser cutters and press brakes to roll forming lines, each machine type offers different strengths. We evaluate options such as cutting power, table size, automation add-ons, and software integration so that your investment delivers maximum value.

Performance Benchmarking

We model how the proposed machine compares against your current equipment in cycle times, accuracy, energy usage, and cost per part. This data-driven approach allows you to see the projected ROI and make decisions with confidence.

Compliance & Connectivity

Specifications aren’t just about output. We also factor in compliance with CE/UKCA standards, energy efficiency ratings, and the ability to connect machines to your ERP, MES, or energy monitoring systems – future-proofing your investment.

CAD Engineer

Factory-supervised build with strict QA

Quality-Controlled Manufacturing

We don’t just order machines – we oversee their build. Our bilingual engineers work directly with trusted factories, monitoring each stage of production on-site to ensure every component meets our performance and safety standards.

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)

Before shipping, we carry out detailed FAT procedures. This includes laser alignment, motion calibration, cutting trials, and durability checks. By catching issues at source, we reduce installation delays and guarantee your machine is production-ready on arrival.

Material & Component Traceability

We verify that structural steel, drives, lasers, and electrical systems come from reputable suppliers. With full traceability and certification, you know your equipment is built on reliable foundations that stand the test of time.

Customisation Options

Whether it’s table size, automation modules, or specialised software, our team ensures your machine is configured to your exact specification before leaving the factory floor. This minimises retrofits and maximises uptime.

Seamless delivery, installation, and commissioning

Pre-Delivery Planning

Successful installation starts long before the machine arrives. We coordinate logistics, site access, and utility preparations, ensuring power, air, and extraction are ready. This eliminates delays and allows a smooth transition from delivery to setup.

Positioning & Assembly

Our engineers and partners manage machine offloading, positioning, and assembly. We ensure floor loadings and fixings are respected, safety screens are secured, and every component is properly integrated into your factory environment.

Commissioning & Calibration

Once installed, we run a full commissioning programme — laser alignment, accuracy calibration, and trial runs using your materials. This guarantees the machine achieves its specified performance in real-world production.

Hands-on operator training and support

Operator Confidence

We provide in-depth training for your operators, covering everything from start-up routines to advanced machine functions. This hands-on approach ensures your team can run production safely and efficiently from day one.

File Preparation & CAM Basics

Our training includes instruction on preparing DXF, DWG, or IGES files, nesting software, and CAM setup. Operators learn how to optimise cutting paths and material usage, improving efficiency and reducing waste.

Safety Protocols

We teach essential safety practices, including laser protection, emergency shut-offs, collision avoidance, and PPE requirements. With a strong safety culture, you reduce accidents and extend machine life.

Maintenance Skills

Operators also learn basic maintenance tasks such as nozzle cleaning, filter changes, and alignment checks. This reduces dependency on service visits and helps prevent avoidable downtime.

Long-term support to maximise uptime

Proactive Servicing

We provide scheduled servicing to keep your machines operating at peak performance. Regular inspections and part replacements reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns and extend equipment lifespan.

Spare Parts & Repairs

With rapid access to spare parts and skilled technicians, we minimise downtime when issues occur. Our team can perform on-site repairs or remote diagnostics to get you back up and running quickly.

Software & Firmware Updates

We keep your systems current with the latest software and firmware updates, ensuring compatibility, stability, and access to new features that enhance machine capability.

Energy & Performance Monitoring

Optional integration with our energy monitoring systems provides insights into running costs, machine utilisation, and efficiency. This helps you optimise processes and comply with ISO 50001 or ESOS requirements.
