Frequently Asked Questions

Our turning department is engineered to handle large-scale, heavy-duty components while offering advanced multitasking capabilities to streamline complex production cycles: Dimensional & Weight Capacity: We can reliably process heavy-tonnage components with a maximum turning diameter of 780 mm, a length of up to 2300 mm, and a total workpiece weight capacity of up to 8 tons. Done-in-One Machining: Equipped with an integrated C-axis and live tooling positioned across two distinct stations, our turning centers execute comprehensive milling and turning operations in a single setup. This multi-axis configuration eliminates re-fixturing errors and significantly reduces cycle times. Specialized Operations: Utilizing custom-engineered attachments, we can seamlessly perform specialized sub-operations such as precision grinding and deep-hole drilling directly on the turning platform without transferring the workpiece to secondary machines.

Our machining capacities are designed to handle diverse complexities and large-scale components: - **3-Axis Machining**: Workpieces up to 1500 mm x 800 mm x 800 mm, max weight 2,000 kg. - **4 & 5-Axis Machining**: For complex geometries, up to Ø500 mm diameter and 1000 mm length, max weight 600 kg. - **Bridge-Type Machining**: Handles components up to 4,000 mm length, 1400 mm width, and 4,500 kg weight.

To deliver integrated, turnkey manufacturing solutions, we utilize a comprehensive suite of in-house capabilities complemented by a strictly vetted network of qualified external suppliers. Our extended service portfolio includes the following technical operations: Precision Grinding: High-accuracy surface and cylindrical grinding to achieve micron-level surface finishes and strict dimensional tolerances. Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining): High-precision contouring and cutting for complex geometries or hardened materials up to a thickness of 700 mm. Deep-Hole Drilling & Honing: Advanced deep-hole drilling capacities up to 3 meters in length, followed by high-precision honing to ensure exceptional internal surface integrity. Welded Fabrication & Hardfacing: Certified structural welding operations and specialized hardfacing (wear-resistant cladding) to extend the operational lifecycle of heavy-duty components. Surface Coatings & Chemical Treatments: Comprehensive surface modification options including hard chrome plating, zinc plating, anodizing, and black oxide coating to enhance corrosion and wear resistance. Surface Preparation & Finishing: Industrial sandblasting (abrasive blasting) for surface de-scaling and preparation, followed by professional specification-compliant industrial painting.

We ensure precision and quality through rigorous international quality certifications and advanced inspection protocols. Our traceable quality management system monitors every stage, from incoming material control to final inspection, guaranteeing defect-free, specification-compliant products. Key features include: - **Advanced Metrology**: High-precision CMMs and calibrated instruments operated by skilled specialists. - **Material & Surface Testing**: Chemical analysis, hardness mapping, and surface roughness measurements. - **Dimensional Compliance & NDT**: Comprehensive inspection reports and non-destructive testing for structural integrity. All inspection data and certifications are compiled into detailed documentation provided with every delivery.

We utilize a fully integrated ERP system to manage production planning and ensure timely delivery. Key technologies include: - **AI-Driven Planning**: Optimizes schedules using advanced algorithms. - **Real-Time IoT Data**: Updates production schedules dynamically to prevent conflicts. - **Integrated Supply Chain**: Synchronizes suppliers for seamless material flow. This framework eliminates delays, identifies bottlenecks, and maximizes efficiency.

We specialize in custom manufacturing and do not offer standard products. Our services include: - **Build-to-Print Manufacturing**: Custom components based on your technical drawings. - **Niche & Complex Projects**: Expertise in hard-to-machine geometries and boutique components. - **Reverse Engineering**: Recreating or optimizing legacy parts without CAD models. - **Flexible Batch Sizes**: From single prototypes to low-volume production runs, all with stringent precision standards.

Requesting a quotation and establishing a partnership with us is a streamlined process designed to adapt to your specific technical inputs. Depending on the current status of your project data, you can initiate the process through the following channels: Ready Technical Drawings (Build-to-Print): If your component drawings or 3D CAD models are already generated, simply forward the files to our engineering department via email at info@unimaltd.com. Our technical team will review the manufacturing feasibility and provide a comprehensive RFQ response promptly. Reverse Engineering Requests: If you require the replication of a physical sample that lacks technical drawings, send us an email outlining the scope of the project. Our team will contact you to coordinate the logistics and arrange the secure pickup of the workpiece from your facility for inspection and CAD reconstruction. On-Site Metrology for Large-Scale Components: For immovable, large-scale, or heavy-duty industrial components that cannot be easily transported, a specialized engineering and metrology team can visit your site. Utilizing portable high-precision scanning instruments, our team executes on-site measurements and project mapping to lay the groundwork for custom fabrication.

We serve industries requiring high-precision components, including Heavy Machinery, Energy & Power, Automotive, Defence, and Industrial Equipment. Approximately 70% of our exports go to EU member states, reflecting our commitment to stringent quality standards and efficient logistics.
