Deadlines are no problem running concurrent engineering systems of all processes. Creo 2 enables us to create a model of a product and its mould at the seam time.  When we change the design for one, the software automatically changes the design for the other and updates the bill of materials.

Our speed to market for all machining is unmatched by competitors.  Our highly skilled CNC operators program at the machine and are responsible for all quality checks as the parts come off the CNC centre.

Your project will be given to one of our ten programmers who are all trained toolmakers or CNC operators. They work with the latest CNC machines, which can all perform high speed machining and hard machining.

We take pride in the fact that our highly skilled work holds up to the challenges it is designed for and does not get returned to us. This is why our clients keep coming back to RPM for high quality machine parts and components.

A new member of the legendary family is taking lawn care to a whole new level. Available in 20” and 25” models, this machine is not only a precision reel mower; it can also be quickly and easily transformed to perform several other beneficial maintenance functions, including verticutting, aerating, moss removal, de-thatching, and sweeping. It features the same level of high-quality components as the original models, along with additional features and accessories that enhance performance and operator control.

California Trimmer reel mowers ensure a healthy lawn that resembles a well-groomed golf green. These reel-type mowers operate like scissors, cutting the grass between a moving reel and a stationary cutter bar at the frame's bottom front edge, unlike standard rotary mowers that tear the grass, leading to nutrient loss, brown spots, rough growth, and thatch. The clean, precise cut of a reel mower helps your lawn retain moisture and nutrients, fostering healthy growth with reduced maintenance.

RPM has a wide range and capability within its suite of modern high speed, high accuracy CNC machines, and offers 5 Axis simultaneous CNC machining as part of its high quality services. Our modern Deckel Maho 200P CNC machine enables RPM to undertake complex machining on parts up to 5000kg.

CNC grinders feature sophisticated software that allows geometrically complex parts to be designed either parametrically or by using third party CAD/CAM software.

CNC Machining is often used for splines, turbines, impellors, large work pieces, and various other intricate shapes. CADCAM stands for Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Machining. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control.

RPM’s Deckel Maho provides outstanding quality and very fast turnaround on parts. The 5 axis simultaneous CNC milling machine is one of the largest of its type in the tool-making industry in New Zealand. Having this machine has enabled RPM to compete internationally and to stay at the forefront of machining techniques. Our machinery and facilities are second to none.

We’re serious about getting your product to market on time and on spec – and our promises are backed up by the latest in CADCAM technology, and our ISO 9001/2008 certification.

All machining is undertaken using state of the art cutting technology, hi-feed cutter, diamond coated cutter and titanium cutters. Using only European grade tool steels and modern cutting technology results in superior surface finish and a more stable finished product.

Clients who incorporate our build philosophy into their value systems enjoy unrivaled delivery times, and products that meet every specification.

Quality Craftsmanship. Ease of Operation. Unmatched Durability. Since 1935, California Trimmer mowers have been crafted with dedication to creating the finest power reel mower on the market. Why choose a California Trimmer reel mower? These mowers ensure a healthy lawn that resembles a well-groomed golf green. Unlike rotary mowers that tear the grass, causing nutrient loss, brown patches, and uneven growth, reel mowers execute precise, clean cuts, akin to scissors. This method of cutting seals in moisture and nutrients, fostering robust growth and reducing the need for maintenance. California Trimmer reel mowers are perfect for hybrid Bermuda, tiffs, bent, and zoysia grasses. Opt for a California Trimmer mower, and your lawn will become the pride of the neighborhood.

3D simulation of the entire grinding process and the finished part is possible as well as detection of any potential mechanical collisions and calculation of production time. Such features allow parts to be designed and verified, as well as the production process optimized, entirely within the software environment.

Machined components are scheduled and manufactured on a just in time basis to ensure a seamless transition to the bench area when required. Every step of the process is given a defined timeline and assigned to a person who is responsible for delivering on time, every time.
