This means that we can apply an extremely diverse range of processes on-site, from the initial product concept using CAD and CAE systems, to production of the final part ready for delivery to the customer’s facility or production line.

Our range of manufacturing capabilities include the following:

METAL PRESSING

Armstrong Manufacturing has an impressive array of high quality mechanical and hydraulic presses on site, featuring various bed sizes, tonnage and stroke types.

CARBON FIBRE

Carbon Fibre properties, such as its light weight, high strength and design flexibility, have unlocked new possibilities in many industry sectors for the Armstrong Composites team. 

METAL FORMING

Armstrong have pressing, roll forming and metal bending cells on the shop floor operating in support of other processes.

2D & 3D LASER CUTTING

The Armstrong TruLaser Cell, located in its own specialised area in our manufacturing facility, can be operated as a 3 or a 5-axis system.

AUTOCLAVES

The Autoclaves used by Armstrong in the process of composite component production, are Aeroform units with an inner diameter of 2m and a working length of 8m, operating at temperatures of 200 degrees Celsius and pressures of up to 10 bar.

PREPREG LAMINATION

Prepreg lamination offers several advantages when producing carbon fibre components at Armstrong, including precise fibre alignment, controlled resin-to-fibre ratio, consistent quality of the end product and the ability to produce complex and lightweight structures with high strength-to-weight ratios.

ROBOT & MANUAL POLISHING

Armstrong can supply a wide variety of products with a highly polished finish using robotic and manual systems.

ROBOT & MANUAL HEMMING

Armstrong has installed some of the industry’s most advanced  robotic hemming systems. Extremely complicated hemming processes are carried out manually by our expert craftsmen.

ROLLING MILL

Armstrong have 3 roll formers on site, allowing us to produce sectioned profiles to later stretch bend or supply as finished.
