Kenard Engineering - Precision Fabrication

As part of our extensive range of manufacturing capabilities, Kenard offers a Precision Fabrication and Sheet Metal facility specialising in high precision work for the Aerospace and Telecommunication industry. We are able to produce a wide variety of complex parts and structured assemblies, both large and small, mainly from Aluminum and Mild Steel but also from many other materials including thin gauge Stainless Steel, Zintec, Polycarbonate, etc.

Our high speed Punch Press will punch 200 holes per minute at 25mm centres or up to 400 holes per minute when contour nibbling. It has a multi-tool turret (two of which are fully indexable) and punches a with a standard stock size of 1250 x 1000mm which can be extended with Auto-Repositioning. We have a number of high precision CNC Press Brakes, the largest of which is a 100 tonne machine which can form lengths up to 3.1m.

Fabricated assemblies are constructed using coded welders who are certified to aviation standard. Alternative methods such as Pem stud spot welding and riveting are also utilised.

Components and assemblies can be finished to customer requirements with our in-house Alocrome, Painting and Powder Coating facilities.
