MWD / LWD & Downhole

Downhole tool components: subs, housings, connectors, valve and seal parts — machined in the difficult materials this industry specifies.

Downhole tooling is unforgiving work. Parts are long and slim, materials are often difficult or already hardened, sealing surfaces have to be genuinely round, and every batch needs paperwork behind it.

We machine MWD/LWD and directional drilling components for manufacturers in this sector, including subs and connectors, sensor and electronics housings, valve and piston parts, and wear components. Because we hold turning, milling, gear cutting, grinding and EDM under one roof, a long slim part that needs a ground seal diameter does not have to travel between three suppliers.

What this industry actually checks is traceability and repeatability. Both are covered by first-article inspection, material certificates and dimensional reports issued from the same building the parts were made in.

Typical parts

What we make for this sector.

Subs, crossovers and connectors

Sensor and electronics housings

Piston, valve and flow-control parts

Sleeves, spacers and bushings

Wear and erosion-resistant components

Machined parts from supplied forgings or bar

What matters here

The four things this industry actually checks.

Long, slim parts

Distortion control from raw bar through turning and grinding.

Hardened materials

EDM and grinding after heat treatment, not instead of it.

Sealing surfaces

Bores and diameters ground for roundness, not just sized.

Paperwork

FAI, material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.

Capabilities applied

Processes this sector usually calls for.

CNC Turning

Turning, mill-turn and small-to-medium batch production of round parts.

CNC Milling

3-, 4- and 5-axis milling of complex parts, pockets, contours and fixtures.

Gear Hobbing & Shaping

Spur, helical and internal gears cut on hobbing and shaping machines.

OD Grinding

External cylindrical grinding for roundness, straightness and surface finish.

ID Grinding

Internal grinding of bores, sleeves and bearing seats.

Wire EDM

Wire EDM for sharp internal corners, hardened material and thin walls.

Questions

What buyers in this sector ask us.

Do you sign NDAs before receiving drawings?
Yes. Send yours and we will sign it before any file changes hands. Customer names and part numbers are never published on this site.
Can you supply the documentation this sector requires?
First-article inspection reports, material certificates and dimensional reports are issued as standard, from the same facility that machined the parts. Where a sector asks for something more specific — a hardness record on heat-treated parts, a defined sampling plan, or your own report format — tell us at quotation stage and we will confirm what we can supply before you commit to anything.
Do you work from supplied castings, forgings or bar?
Yes. We machine customer-supplied material and will inspect it on receipt so that any defect is identified before we cut, not after.

Send us a drawing. Get an engineering answer, not a price list.

Tell us the part, the material and the quantity. An engineer reviews your drawing and replies within one working day — usually with a suggestion on how to make it cheaper.
