Our work
Many household names use Viking Precision Engineers as their prime sub-contractor, here is some of our work:
Motor Bearing Housing
Machine from either a casting or from billet mild steel these bearing housings are 300mm in diameter. Our Mazak Slant Turn 540 is the perfect machine for the job. With a tolerance of 0.02mm on the 250mm inside bore our state of the art machines can hold the tightest limits.
Bearing Block
Viking Precision has a range of machines to suit most components. This item is manufactures from 6082T6 Aluminium flat bar which is cut into billet form. We then CNC mill the component using multiple setups on a 4th axis in one of our two Mazak 430A’s. Viking is able to go from ones off to large quantity manufacturing.
Stanchion
Viking CNC machine these items from 800mm x 100mm x 100mm flame cut billets. These items require a powerful large capacity CNC Milling machine. Our Mazak FJV 60/120 is more than capable.
London Underground Small Part
This is another London Underground part that is CNC turned from solid brass bar complete. All our CNC lathes have sub spindle options to allow us to turn and mill both sides of a component. This allows faster machining times and reduced costs.
Drivers Seat
Apart from producing parts and assemblies for passenger transport, Viking is proud to manufacture parts and assemble the drivers’ seat found in train cabins throughout the country.
Lifting Locking Rope Assembly
This part is called a Lifting Locking Rope Assembly and is made for London Underground. These are manufactured from laser cut sheet metal blanks which are bent into shape. The toothed items are CNC milled from Tuffnol and have press fit CNC turned brass bushes. Viking then assemble the parts using bought out screws and springs.
London Underground Fusebox
London Underground approached Viking to design and manufacture a fuse box upgrade made from aluminium. From a sample supplied to Viking our draughtsman designed a new fuse box similar to the existing fusebox but vastly improved in every way. The newly designed aluminium bodies are cast from aluminium and then machined using our CNC milling machines to accept the off the shelf fuse and fuse holders. Brass cable glands are also manufactured in house on our CNC lathes. All the components are then assembled at Vikings premises.
Pigtail and Bond Repair Connection Tool
Viking Precision has been working on a project for London Underground to prevent line shutdowns due to main power cable connectors breaking due to being out in the weather. The London Underground worker can now find a faulty cable that has snapped and use this connection tool to temporarily fix the problem to get a line back running during the day.
The intention is that every London Underground track worker will have one in their pocket
