Our Services

Design & Development

Whether you are inventing something new or perfecting an existing product, our innovative, world class designers are here to assist and advise you on every step of the process. We rely on years of experience and lateral solutions to ensure the most cost-effective and efficient means of production, often exceeding our customer expectations. Progressive Components is making use of the latest design and development programs such as NX (Unigraphics)

3D Printing

Using 3D Printing technology makes it possible to create injection moulded prototypes, in just hours, from design to test product thus giving you a visual and tangible sample of the end component. This ensures better accuracy, shortens turn-around time and ultimately cuts costs.

Mould Design

Our experienced designers will use your product idea or drawing to design a mould which will meet, and often exceed, your required specifications. Uncompromised care and attention to detail in conjunction with the latest NX technology will ensure a perfect mould design and the manufacture of your product in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.

Mould Manufacturing

Progressive Components modern tool room is well equipped to handle all work in-house using NX (Unigraphics). We have highly qualified, experienced toolmakers to manufacture prototype components, injection moulds, blow moulds, jigs and fixtures, single-cavity, multi-cavity, hot runner, thin wall moulds and various soap dies for the soap industry. All moulds are manufactured using only the highest quality tool steel and fittings, and whilst in our possession are serviced at no cost to yourself as part of our Mould Maintenance Plan.

At Progressive Components our quality workmanship ensures repeat business.

Progressive Components immaculate manufacturing plant is well equipped with 16 injection moulding machines ranging from 25 tons to 368 tons with shot weights from 32 grams to 1.1kg. The machines are PLC controlled ensuring consistent moulding parameters. We specialise primarily in the production of electronic, security, access control and automotive components but also manufacture products for the medical, utilities, sporting, mining, military and point of sales industries. We also produce thin-walled containers for the packaging and catering industries.

Components are run in various materials such as ABS, polycarbonate, nylon, glass-filled nylon, styrene, acrylic, polypropylene, monprene, neoprene and polyurethane, to meet customer and regulatory requirements. With our years of experience we are able to best advise on which material is suitable for each job. All tooling is cooled via water chillers ensuring that constant tool temperatures are maintained.

The majority of our customers require virgin materials for their products however, in line with the current sustainable mind-set, recycled materials are utilized where possible. All waste materials from our factory are collected by the respective recycling collectors.

Precision Engineering employs exacting design, crafting components with precise measurements. Its significance is crucial, especially in industries where even minor deviations lead to performance issues. Reliant on advanced machinery like CNC, Milling, and Laser Cutters, precision engineering ensures precise outcomes in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices.

Fabrication involves creating objects by assembling various components using materials like metals, laminates, wood, and solid surfaces. It’s often linked with metal fabrication, which includes actions such as cutting, welding, bending, and assembly. Machines used in fabrication include laser-based tools like Laser Cutting, Engraving, Welding, and Marking Machines.

Fabrication processes produce diverse outcomes based on industries, materials, and project goals. Many individuals, businesses, and organizations may need fabrication services across different sectors. From manufacturing to artistic projects – fabrication turns ideas into reality.

Why Choose Us

Our machinery

In the Factory

Progressive Components’ immaculate manufacturing plant is well equipped with 4 Shuangsheng SSF, 4 Arburg 25t, 5 Haixing HXF 88J5 and 1 state of the art Wittmann Battenfeld machine. These machines range from 25 tons to 368 tons with shot weights from 32 grams to 1.1kg. The machines are PLC controlled ensuring consistent moulding parameters.

In the Tool Room

5-Axis CNC Mill (Doosan DNM 350)

The Tool Rooms trunnion – type, full – simultaneous Doosan DNM 350 5-Axis CNC mill allows us to make complex and precise parts, achieving higher yields, greater accuracy, and increased freedom of movement, as well as the ability to manufacture larger parts faster. This is achieved by the machine’s sophisticated mechanics whereby it moves in 5 different directions; X,Y,Z as well as A & B which eliminates the need for manual reposition of the workpiece between operations. Our 5-axis machine is used in the manufacturing of moulds, tooling, precision engineering and production milling.

3-Axis CNC Mills

Three-axis machining is a style of milling that allows the tool – or spindle – to move in three linear directions: the X-, Y-, and Z-axes. These directions are up and down, left and right, and back and forth Widely used for automatic/interactive operation, milling slots, drilling holes, cutting sharp edges. Our 3-axis machines are used for the manufacturing of moulds, tooling, precision engineering and production milling.

2.

Conceptualisation

Firstly, we need to know what you are looking for. Share your ideas or product concept as specifically as possible. Everything discussed is fully confidential.

 

If you are looking to patent an idea, we can point you in the right direction.

3.

Product Prototyping

Where necessary and on request, we can 3D Print a prototype of your design. This can ultimately save you time & money in the future ensuring the concept product will fit your requirements.

4.

Mould Development

Once the design is approved, tooling will begin. There are many stages in the tooling processes, and this will be the most time consuming part of the project. Patience is key as rushed tools can cause long delays in production time. Our Toolmakers take the utmost pride and care when creating moulds. They ensure the finished mould will produce a satisfactory end product once it starts production.

5.

Source Materials

With our database and knowledge of raw materials and suppliers, we are able to source the best material for your final product. Materials are chosen based on the intended use of the component.

6.

Manufacture

Once the tool is complete, production will start with a small run of samples to ensure the materials used are suitable for the intended purpose and the tool is performing flawlessly.
