A Textron Power Transmission company, Birmingham-based Frenco will continue to offer a wide range of spur and helical master gears for composite testing of production components, and spline gauges and taper masters to check the standard of shafts and formed bores.
Accustomed to meeting challenging lead times, Frenco offers customers a cutting edge approach to fine tolerance profiling along with significant reductions in the normal lead times and costs associated with wire erosion.
Combined with low stock levels prior to heat treatment, the discipline equips Frenco to complete finishing, grinding and honing cost effectively and within tight deadlines.
The CAD office is fully equipped to interchange technical data in most formats, while finished products are subject to intensive scrutiny by the Frenco metrology laboratory certified to UKAS standard ISO/IEC17025 that ensures precision of measurement and traceability to national and international prime measuring standards.
Frenco manufactures in materials from nonferrous through tool steels and cast iron up to high nickel content alloys for specialist applications.
Certification to ISO9000:2000 reinforces the high standards set by Frenco, which also offers precision assembly and fitting of components to add further value for customers.
Sales Manager James McCormack says that the combination of fine tolerance engineering at competitive prices enables Frenco to offer a unique service.
He explains: "Frenco is one of only a handful of companies in Europe capable of working to the standards required for our core business of master gears and spline gauges.
Now that standard is now available to the broader manufacturing base where specific products demand precision manufacturing unavailable or impractical in a conventional manufacturing environment".
