Design
You know the problem. The machine does not exist yet.
Drawn,machined,installed,running.
Tri-X Technology takes industrial work the whole way. We design the mechanics, cut the parts, wire and program the controls, and stay on site until the line runs at rate.

Capabilities
Eight capabilities, arranged the way a job runs
Plants call us at one of four moments. Start at the one you are at, and we can carry the job through the rest of it without handing you to anyone else.
Make
Drawings exist. Now something has to be cut, welded and measured.
Integrate
Equipment is on site and has to talk to everything around it.
Support
It runs. The job now is keeping it running.
The shop
What we can hold, and on what machines
Send a model or a marked-up sketch. If a feature is outside what we hold in house, we say so in the quote rather than after the first article.
| 5-axis machining centre | 800 × 650 × 550 mm |
|---|---|
| 3-axis vertical mills | 1200 × 600 × 600 mm |
| CNC turning, live tooling | Ø320 × 700 mm |
| Surface grinding | 600 × 300 mm |
| General tolerance | ±0.01 mm |
| Inspection repeatability | ±0.005 mm, CMM |
Materials and volumes
We machine aluminium, mild and tool steels, stainless, brass, bronze and engineering plastics including PEEK, acetal and UHMW.
- One-off replacement parts, often from a broken sample
- Prototype runs with a documented first article
- Production batches to a few thousand pieces
- Weldments, frames, guarding and fixtures
- Anodising, plating, heat treatment and coating managed through vetted partners
Recent work
Jobs that came in mid-problem
Three short notes from the floor. Each one started as a call about a machine that had stopped or never quite worked.
Packaging
Case packer running short of rate
New infeed geometry, four machined guide sets and revised PLC timing brought a line back above its nameplate rate.
- Scope
- Design, machining, controls
- On site
- 2 shifts
Metal forming
Obsolete drive replaced without a rewrite
Discontinued drive swapped for a current model, with a small protocol bridge so the existing machine code did not change.
- Scope
- Parts, integration, software
- Downtime
- 6 h planned
Contract manufacturing
Fixture set for a thin-wall bracket
Five-axis fixturing and a revised clamping sequence held flatness on a part that had been scrapping at the final operation.
- Scope
- Fixture design, machining
- Held
- 0.02 mm flat
Why plants call us back
One team from the drawing to the run-off
Splitting a job between a design house, a machine shop and an integrator is where schedules go. We hold all three, so there is one drawing set, one schedule and one person answering the phone.
We quote from what you have
A STEP file, a PDF, a photo of a nameplate or the broken part in a box. If a drawing is missing, we reverse engineer and give you the model.
Downtime is planned, not discovered
Installation work is staged and dry-run before the shutdown window, so the hours on site are the hours we told you.
You keep the files
Models, drawings, schematics and source code are handed over at the end of the job. No locked cabinets, no licence to read your own machine.
Tell us what stopped.
Send a drawing, a part number or a photo of the machine. We will tell you whether it is a part, a design or a controls problem, and what it takes to fix it.
