Business Description

Primary: Contract Machining Service - Supply machined parts to customer’s design and specification.

Specialty: Supplying small production batches of CNC machined parts.

Competitive Advantage: We are experts at setting up and programming our machines quickly for new jobs.

Customer benefits: Economical production of smaller batches-reduce s your inventory. Supply complete and ready to use products.

Services
We will quote to supply any quantity of parts of almost any size, as long as there is some machining involved.
If we cannot machine your job on our equipment, chances are one of our associates can and we will refer you directly to them.
All we need to provide a quote is a drawing or sample. If your job requires heat treating, plating, or other finishes, we are happy to include that in your quote too.

We can create a 3D drawing from your sample.
CNC Turning. We use modern 2-axis and 3-axis CNC lathes and auto bar loaders for all kinds of Chucking and Barfeed jobs.
Material size range: Diameter 10mm – 380mm & Length up to 650mm.
CNC Milling, We use our 2008 Okuma MB56VA VMC to efficiently provide milled products, from simple drilling to 3-D contours.

Material types: Most engineering metals and plastics.
Equipment Capacity

Experience
Established in 1995, Kennewell CNC Machining has delivered the benefits of modern machining to customers large and small.
KCNC continues to machine a huge variety of components for different agricultural machines. Many involve welding heat treating and plating.

We have developed several robotic part loaders to machine high volume parts more efficiently and accurately than had been done before.

KCNC demonstrated innovation to machine thousands of water meter castings for SA homes when others failed.
We organized and led a consortium to manufacture a leading brand of shearing equipment. Supply of components still continues.
When a railcar fabricator was caught out when the contracted machine shop closed business part way through a critical order, KCNC stepped in and completed the job within budget and on time. This began a strong and lasting relationship which continues to benefit both businesses.

We machined, polished and assembled the reservoir assemblies and accessories for Dentsleeve medical equipment from prototypes to production for many years until Dentsleeve was sold to a Canadian firm. We were the only machine shop prepared to ensure blemish free delrin and stainless steel parts were supplied.

KCNC was subcontracted to help a less capable machine shop supply thousands of important focal rings to a leading spotlight manufacturer. There were significant challenges to ensure they were supplied without any scratches or blemishes & delivered on time for a critical price point. We developed a new method of “Part Catching” these barfed aluminium parts to meet the customer’s requirement. The parts were carefully packaged to prevent damage.  The job continued for several years.

To improve productivity and reliability of a customer’s very old cog machine, we fitted 2 digital drives with PLC controllers to optimize cutting data and fabricated a guard. We also sourced cutting tools with modern coatings to increase production. The same customer has us operate their helical broaching machine which we maintain. This machine process was also improved with coated broaches.
