The most rewarding projects are often the ones that push the limits of what’s possible.
Recently, a customer approached us to manufacture a set of small, fine-pitch gear sets four an actuator, featuring 0.35 and 0.2 module gearing and demanding tolerances — including 6-micron bearing journals.
This wasn’t simply a case of machining to a drawing. From the outset, we worked closely with our customer to review their design for manufacturability, identifying opportunities to improve the production process, increase consistency and reduce cost — without compromising performance.
We also worked alongside our technology partners at Citizen Machinery, refining tooling strategies and inspection processes to help maintain the required precision throughout the production run.
The result? A collaborative approach that turned a challenging engineering brief into a repeatable, production-ready solution.
This is what engineering should be about:
Collaboration
Innovation
Problem solving
Continuous improvement
And at Muffett, that approach extends across the whole team.
From estimating and programming through to machining, inspection and dispatch, everyone has a part to play. It’s that shared expertise, teamwork and commitment to quality that allows us to take on increasingly complex, high-precision work with confidence.
We don’t just manufacture components. We help engineer better solutions.
