CNC Precision Grinding

High-precision CNC grinding ensures consistent tool geometry, accuracy, and repeatability across batches. Profile and cylindrical grinding support optimal surface finish and dimensional control, while EDM and wire cutting enable intricate designs for special application tools.

Robotic Heat Treatment

Addison uses premium HSS and carbide materials, supported by an advanced heat treatment process that improves hardness, wear resistance, and tool life. Controlled heat treatment cycles help maintain stability and performance in demanding machining conditions.

India’s First PVD Coating

India’s first advanced coating technologies are applied to reduce friction, improve wear resistance, and extend tool life. Options include TiN, TiAlN, and AlCrN coatings, alongside PVD and CVD processes designed to optimise cutting performance and longevity.

Metallurgical Laboratory

Metallurgical analysis supports quality assurance by checking structural integrity and consistency throughout production. Combined with in-house R&D and testing capability, this helps ensure tools meet performance expectations in real machining environments.

Innovation Centre

The Innovation Centre drives continuous investment in technology and automation, supported by an in-house design and development team for special applications. Collaboration with industry experts strengthens next-generation tool geometries and advanced coatings for better machining efficiency.

Total Quality Control

Quality assurance runs through multiple inspection stages, using optical and laser systems for dimensional verification alongside runout and hardness testing. This end-to-end approach is reinforced by lean manufacturing discipline and ISO 9001:2015-aligned quality management standards.
