Precision Large Capacity Machining Services in Tasmania
The Engineering Company delivers precision large-capacity machining services from our workshops in Somerset and Hobart, supporting industries across Tasmania. With more than 40 years of experience, we have the facilities and expertise to machine components for heavy industry with accuracy and efficiency. Our capabilities cover everything from milling and turning to boring, facing and slotting, making us a trusted machining partner for complex and oversized projects.
Precision Machining for Heavy Industry
We provide machining solutions for industries where accuracy and reliability are critical. Our large-capacity machining services are used to manufacture new components, refurbish worn parts and modify existing equipment to extend its service life. By combining skilled machinists with advanced equipment, we can achieve the high tolerances required for industrial applications. Whether you need machining for mining equipment, hydropower assets or processing plant components, our team can deliver results that perform in demanding environments.
Our Large Capacity Machining Equipment
The engineering company operates a wide range of machinery designed to handle heavy and oversized components. Our facilities include horizontal and vertical borers with capacities up to 10 tonnes, ideal for boring and facing large items with precision. We also operate machining centres rated for 8-tonne, 10-tonne and 12-tonne workpieces, giving us the flexibility to manage projects of different sizes and complexities. In addition, our workshops are equipped with lathes, milling machines and slotting machines that allow us to complete diverse machining tasks in-house. This combination of equipment means we can machine both standard parts and highly customised components without outsourcing.
Heavy Capacity Turning and Milling
Turning and milling are essential machining services we provide for heavy industry clients. Our lathes handle large diameters, enabling us to produce shafts, rollers and cylindrical components to precise specifications. Our milling machines allow for accurate shaping of flat and contoured surfaces, ensuring parts fit correctly into assemblies. With skilled machinists operating state-of-the-art equipment, we maintain accuracy and consistency across every job, no matter the scale.
Line Boring and Slotting Services
In addition to turning and milling, we provide line boring and slotting services for industrial applications. Line boring is commonly used to restore worn bores in large equipment, such as excavator arms or crusher housings, bringing them back to original tolerances. Slotting services allow us to cut keyways and other intricate shapes required for heavy mechanical assemblies. These services are invaluable for clients looking to extend the life of their equipment rather than replacing costly components.
Benefits of Choosing Our Large Capacity Machining Services
Choosing The Engineering Company for machining services gives clients the assurance of working with one of Tasmania’s most capable workshops. Our experienced team understands the challenges of heavy industry and can recommend the best machining approach for each project. By completing work in-house, we reduce delays and maintain strict quality control from start to finish. Our ISO-accredited systems ensure every component is machined to meet compliance requirements, with full traceability available where needed.
Supporting Industries Across Tasmania
Our large-capacity machining services support a wide range of industries across the state. In the mining sector, we produce and repair processing equipment, conveyor components and structural elements. For hydropower facilities, we machine precision housings, turbine components and structural steel. In manufacturing and smelting, our services extend to producing replacement parts and maintaining plant equipment. No matter the sector, our machining solutions are designed to keep assets running smoothly, safely and efficiently.
