Capabilities

Andrews & Rech implement the most modern machining equipment and techniques available to the industry, including CAD/CAM, CNC and 5 axis machining on both large and small components.
Machining capabilities also include deep hole drilling and honing utilising both gun drilling and ejector drilling.
As part of Andrews & Rech's commitment to quality assurance, we implement comprehensive inspection and testing on components through the use of co-ordinate measuring machines, optical comparators and contour tracing and surface testing machines.

Andrews & Rech are part of the OKUMA-NET Network
