Our process automation and state-of-the-art robotic welding cell supports our serial production methodology, ensuring efficiency and unparalleled quality in every project. With continuous investment in our facilities and people, Hutchinson remains a market leader, delivering bespoke solutions that meet exacting industry standards.
Our comprehensive approach includes handling a diverse range of materials such as carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. Our capability to manage a broad scope of production, coating, and installation in-house makes us the preferred choice for projects that demand the highest level of engineering expertise and superior output quality.
Manufacturing capabilities
Profiling
Our profiling capability covers carbon-steel, stainless-steel and aluminium and enables laser cutting of plate upto 25mm thick, and plasm / Oxy cutting upto 100mm thick. Our Ficep Gemini machine also drills and taps holes and adds machined weld preps, supported by our VF9 large capacity VMC.
Tube Cutting
CNC
We have our own in-house machining department. Current capability includes HAAS lathes and vertical boring and milling machines.
Fabrication
With the ability to produce one-off fabrications up to 20t, and serial manufacture of product within specialised Production Cells, our highly trained and skilled operatives use the latest in technology, to the most stringent international quality standards such as BS EN 1090-2 EXC3+, BS EN ISO 3834-2:2005 and BS EN 15085-2:2007.
Welding
Non destructive testing
This is carried out by our in-house CSWIP 3.1 welding inspectors, internal MPI and PT testing teams. Third party independent testing is used as required.
Plate rolling
Our plate rolling capability can process S355 material up to 40mm in thickness at 3m widths at diameters from 1.2m to 4.3m. We are also able to process 0.6m to 1.2mm diameter up to 10mm thick.
CNC controlled steel beam drilling
Metal finishing
Digital Dimensional Control
Our FARO Vantage Laser Tacker has a measurement range of up to 80 meters and accuracy of up to ± 0.015 mm and is an essential tool for ensuring dimension control of large or assembled product.
Our FARO QUANTUM-e measuring system is used for 3D measurement and inspection, especially suitable for complex parts and shapes in manufacturing. Its key features include non-contact laser probing and enhanced accuracy, making it ideal for quality control when manufacturing complex steel components and structures.
CNC hydraulic Press-Brake
Able to process 3m wide sheet up to 10mm thick, our AMADA HFE3i press-brake enables high tolerance and repeatable bending and folding or steel components.
