Recent Steam Engine Manufacturing Project Completion

For over 30 years, MTE have been providing engineering solutions to clients in a wide range of sectors, from nuclear power, hydro power and coal power to public, construction and more. Recently, we had the opportunity to manufacture some liners for a famous steam engine project which we were very excited to partake in. Below, we have provided some details of how we completed the project.

Using the latest manufacturing methods, our millers manufactured these historic and British designed parts using 4th axis milling in combination with HSM (High Speed Machining), utilising our versatile Haas VF6. Additionally, our millers used off the shelf vended tooling in order to complete the manufacture to the best standard possible; no high risk, long lead time, custom tooling necessary!

Due to the quality and experience of the millers at MTE, we were able to finish the job all in one set up with no disruptions. This was a fantastic project to get involved in, witnessing a component designed over 80 years ago getting manufactured again from scratch, but now using some of the latest equipment and techniques in engineering, all in our workshop. How do you think they were made 80 years ago? See our video to watch how we did it.
