Precision Engineering in Greater Manchester

Over 40 years of experience supporting specialist manufacturing requirements

By Aspin Engineering | 4 minute read

Precision machining and inspection are central to specialist component manufacture.

A replacement part for an existing machine. Tooling for an extrusion line. A precision component for a new assembly. Each requirement starts with a practical engineering challenge.

At Aspin Engineering, we combine more than 40 years of experience with in-house manufacturing capabilities to help customers address these challenges. From our base in Whitefield, Greater Manchester, we manufacture individual components and specialist assemblies around each customer’s requirements.

From an engineering requirement to a practical solution

Understanding how a component will be used is an essential starting point. We work with drawings, specifications and existing parts to discuss the requirement and establish a suitable manufacturing approach.

Our capabilities support complex components, prototypes, one-off work and repeat production. Customers can also draw on our manufacturing capacity to support their own production teams.

Shaped channels, grooves and mating surfaces illustrate the range of features found in specialist components.

Precision machining and specialist processes

Different components require different methods. Our in-house capabilities bring together modern and traditional engineering processes to support a wide range of manufacturing needs.

• CNC machining and turning For complex components, prototypes, one-off parts, small batches and repeat production, alongside conventional turning.

• Grinding and thread grinding Universal, surface and thread grinding for demanding applications and complex thread forms.

• EDM and wire erosion Wire EDM, EDM drilling and die-sink capability for specialist components.

• Fitting and inspection Supporting assembly requirements, accuracy and consistency.

Specialist engineering for extrusion equipment

The plastics and rubber extrusion industries need tooling and equipment suited to their processes. Aspin Engineering designs and manufactures components and assemblies for these industries, with particular expertise in wire and cable equipment.

Our work ranges from individual tooling components to complete die heads and specialist assemblies. We also provide replacement parts, refurbishment and repair support for existing equipment.

Complete equipment and individual components require attention to both manufacture and assembly.

Die heads tooling and replacement parts

Our products and support include:

• Extrusion die heads and crossheads.

• Special mixing heads.

• Extrusion tooling and dies.

• Bespoke components and assemblies.

• Associated precision components and spare parts.

• Refurbishment and repair.

We can work from drawings, specifications or existing components. When original parts are unavailable or lead times are too long, our team can discuss the requirements for a suitable replacement.

Helping keep machine tools in production

As machinery ages, obtaining replacement parts can become more difficult. A component may no longer be available, or the original drawing may be missing. A suitable replacement can help maintain, repair and extend the working life of valuable equipment.

A worn housing alongside a machined component illustrates the challenge of replacing ageing parts.

Aspin Engineering supports engineering companies, maintenance departments, machine tool service and refurbishment specialists, and manufacturers maintaining critical production equipment.

If you have an engineering drawing, we can manufacture to your specifications. If no drawing is available, we can create one from an existing part as the starting point for discussing a replacement. Our capabilities support planned maintenance and individual replacement-part enquiries.

Discuss your next engineering requirement

You do not need a complete technical brief to start a conversation.

• A drawing

• A sample

• A photograph

• A part number or

• Simply an engineering problem?

Let us know the information you have. Our engineering team can discuss your requirement and a suitable solution before you request a quote.
