Tomah Engineers Ltd provides precision machining for the forging industry. We machine components that support forging hammers and related equipment.
At Tomah, we help our clients to maintain reliability, standard and consistent performance. As well as machining new parts for the forging industry, We can also respond quickly in the event of a breakdown and machine replacement parts when needed.
Our experience and expertise helps us to understand the importance of forging equipment that will endure extreme impact forces and repeated loading cycles, which is why our workshop is equipped to machine such parts.
Machining Capabilities for Forging Equipment
Our Sheffield based workshop is equipped to machine large and oversized components. Our large turning machinery for example has a weight tolerance of up to 5000kg, 1060mm diameter and 6500mm lengths. These capabilities allow us to take on the demanding requirements of forging machinery.
Hammer Shaft Machining
Hammer shafts are central components within forging hammers. it is essential that these parts are machined to precise specifications to maintain balance and ensure reliable energy transfer during fabrication. well made central shafts also help to minimise vibration during use. At Tomah Engineers Ltd. We machine hammer shafts for the forging industry to precise tolerances to ensure smooth operation and long service life.Tup Machining
In the forging business, the tup is the ram or falling weight of a forging hammer. Tup machining is the process of shaping, resurfacing, or making the tup. The tup is a critical impact component and plays a direct role in forging accuracy. To ensure repeatable precision, the tup must be maintained to a certain standard. Lifter Arms for Forging Operations
>
Lifter arms are used in forging production to move and position large billets or tooling in and out of the press. At Tomah Engineers Ltd we highly value the importance of safe handling and reliable operation within forging. We understand parts must be strong enough to handle heavy loads and frequent movement. Built on Experience and ISO 9001 Aligned
As an experienced and professional operation of over 50 years, Tomah Engineers Ltd. value the importance of quality and precision in our processes. We understand that our services support manufacturing processes subject to impact and repeated loading, such as that of the forging industry. This is why we have aligned our internal procedures with ISO 9001 Quality Management System standards. Our ISO 9001 accreditation application is currently in progress as we continue to strive for consistent, traceable quality in all our processes.Forging Industry
Large turning plays a key role in the fabrication of the oversized components used within forging applications. Tomah Engineers Ltd use large turning processes for heavy parts that must be strong, balanced and machined to a precise specification. This includes machining parts like hammer shafts and other cylindrical parts that need to work well even when they are hit and loaded repeatedly. Horizontal Boring for the Forging Industry
Horizontal boring is used to machine oversized components that require accurate hole alignment and positional accuracy across large sections. Our horizontal boring capability allows us to support the manufacture and refurbishment of heavy forging-related components, particularly where precise bored features are required on high-weight parts. This service is well suited to the demands of forging environments and heavy machinery. Conventional Milling for the Forging Industry
Conventional milling supports the machining of flat faces, mounting surfaces, and structural features on heavy forging components. At Tomah, when fabricating parts like lifter arms or tup components, milling is typically used alongside turning and boring operations. These machining operations help ensure accurate, stable and strong outcomes in forging applications. Keyway Slotting for the Forging Industry
The manufacture of the large shafts used in forging hammers usually calls for keyway slotting. The keyways must be precisely calibrated for effective torque transmission. At Tomah, we machine keyways into these oversized parts all while ensuring precise positioning for efficient performance. We understand the tough demands of forging conditions and our keyway slotting machinery is equipped to handle this.
