Falcon currently offer 3 work-shifts to our production employees, a day shift, a night shift and an early shift to cover the early hours of the morning. The night shift is set up to run the ‘key’ manufacturing cells like the fibre laser, CNC punch and CNC folding. Their work brief is to target the long running, larger orders where the production workflow has been tried and tested. This allows the early shift and the day shift to concentrate on the new jobs or rush jobs to hit a customers deadline. This system has proven a hit with many of our customers, but equally importantly it also benefits our staff who can work on a shift pattern that suits their lifestyle.

Fast reaction times

24 hour production allows Falcon to react quickly to customers needs. Our current lead time is just 4 weeks, however we regularly hit tighter deadlines when it is required. It allows us to design a part for a customer during the day, then have a prototype or pre-production worked on over night ready for inspection or testing at the earliest opportunity.

Datron M35

Falcon’s high speed 3-axis Datron M35 was first bought in 2004 and has since gone through a number of upgrades to keep pace with customer demand. The recent upgrade includes a brand new 60,000rpm 2kw digital spindle and a new water cooling system. This enables the operator to remove more material per cut, decreasing machining time and cost to the customer. The new water cooling system keeps the spindle from overheating, improving accuracy and reducing maintenance downtime.

The Datron M35 is perfect for sheet metal machining, allowing customers to mill pockets, chamfer edges or engrave text onto thin sheet metal. The high speed of the spindle means the cutter leaves a high quality surface finish, making it ideal for engraving front panels, modifying plastic enclosures or machining bespoke heat sinks.

Dugard Eagle 760

The Dugard Eagle 760 is our heavier duty 3-axis mill. Designed for taking heavier cuts, it is used for machining small to medium sized aluminium and steel billets. We manufacture high quality custom enclosures, precision brackets, large heat sinks and can modify cast boxes.

By having on site CNC machining capabilities, Falcon can react to orders fast as a one-stop service for customers. This means we can modify sheet metal parts without having to fit in with a sub-contractors work schedule. Other customers benefit from us making sure that their sheet metal lid fits perfectly with their machined enclosure. Falcon have been manufacturing sheet metal components for 30 years and have been CNC machining for 15 years. Few companies on the south coast can boast this level of experience and expertise. And with our customers returning year after year, we may see further investment in this area soon.
