Capabilities

Meccanica believes that our most important assets are our people. We maintain an active training and development program to ensure our capabilities reflect our customer’s requirements.

Our CNC equipment portfolio includes:

DMG Mori NLX 2500/700 Y CNC lathe, and
DMG Mori NV 5000 machining centre.

This is complemented by a range of conventional machine tools, including:

Bridegeport turret milling machines,
Colchester lathes with a maximum turning diameter of 600mm and length of 2,000mm,
Mechanical presses with capacities up to 30T, and
Certified MIG, TIG and electric arc welding services.

Meccanica values the efficiency and quality that CNC machining provides, combined with the flexibility of conventional machining for low-volume projects.

Customer specific processes are routinely developed to relevant Australian and Defence standards, including:

Trivalent conversion coatings that match or exceed hexavalent based coatings in Space environments,
Manganese phosphate coating, and
Aeroglaze Z306 high emissivity optical coatings.

Meccanica routinely machines the following materials:

6000 and 7000 series aluminium,
Magnesium,
High tensile steels including AISI 4140 and AISI 4340,
Titanium Ti6Al4V,
Invar, and
TZM molybdenum alloy.

Marco Engineering

Marco Engineering was established in 1965 from a precision engineering pedigree. Attention to detail and the provision of value adding technical solutions remain our core operating principles.

Marco Engineering maintains a modern temperature controlled workshop with a combined 800sqm of office, toolroom and general fabrication facilities. Planning approval has already been received to expand these facilities to a total of 2,000sqm. These purpose built facilities will include a larger toolroom and quality control department, larger design studio and laboratory, and a clean assembly facility.

Continuous investment in equipment and capabilities enables Marco Engineering to guarantee high tolerances and maintain high production rates. Both of these influences are measured against customer requirements to ensure manufacturing meets or exceeds quality expectations whilst balancing cost expectations. Marco Engineering maintains a range of high-end CNC and conventional machine tools with additional investment in integrated machining systems planned.

Recently completed projects include:

Telescoping Gaff Hook for Defence Materiel Organisation,
Precision machining of components used in a cryogenic beam steering mirror with resolution better than 25nm,
Magnesium vibration test fixtures, and
Opto-mechanical components for cryogenic and ambient temperature optical systems.

In addition, Marco Engineering routinely develops processes for machining components in Invar, titanium and TZM alloys.

Marco Engineering is a current OEM supplier to Defence.
