Products & Capabilities

CPEL use the latest lathes and mills, which are regularly serviced and calibrated to ensure optimum performance, precision and accuracy. We also invest in the latest Cam/Cad Software which further enables us to engineer precision machined parts and provide a complete package to our customers. We combine high quality with low cost for customers requiring small to medium sized quantities of precision machined parts and for our larger customers we can be a high level manufacturing partner, supplying precision machined components and fully tested electro-mechanical and hydraulic assemblies.

Cronin Precision Engineering In servicing our customers unique needs, utilize our dedicated machining centers and skilled operators to produce high quality parts. These resources combined with our experience in machining various metals make CPEL your ideal partner for precision components and assemblies.

CPEL are particularly experienced in the unique requirements of the Marine Industry, regularly repairing or servicing trawler propeller shafts, rudder shafts, stern tubes and related equipment. Working from the design stage of a new product or component, we can assist our customers right through prototype development from producing samples on our CNC machining centers, to ultimately manufacturing the finished product.

As we have been in the engineering manufacture and repair business for many years, we have built up a wealth of experience in boring, broaching, drilling, grinding, fabricating, welding - including stainless steel and aluminium, CNC turning and milling. Our areas of expertise include:

Automotive/Agricultural

CPEL can have your automotive drive shafts modified and ends removed, realigned and re-welded. Exhaust manifold flange faces machined for gaskets. Alloy wheels repaired and welded. Axles repaired, king pins and bearings and/or bushes removed and replaced. Damaged linkage eyes and bearing housings removed and replaced. Centre bosses of tractor axle's bored and bushed to suit pins, ends repaired to suit cup and cone bearings. Aluminium gear box housings welded and repaired, rethreaded or steel inserts fitted. Rotary Seals repaired, shafts on impellers built up or sleeved to suit bearings, housings bored, impellers built up and machined to suit new bore size, end plates built up and machined to suit new bore size, seals and bearings replaced and reassembled. Agitator shafts – stainless steel or mild steel, machined to suit couplings and impellers. Excavator buckets, farm gates, cubicles, and penning equipment manufactured and repaired. Snap ties made to any length, tractor pick up hitches manufactured or completely refurbished.

CNC Plasma Cutting

Our advanced CNC Plasma Cutters will provide accurate hi-definition plasma cutting of stainless steel, duplex and mild steel, including variable bevel cutting and more. Our CNC system can optimise the quality of cut by using different gases in combination. We can use an argon / hydrogen mix as an example when cutting stainless steel or duplex which produces a clean high quality cut that usually does not require further treatment before welding. Depending on your requirements, we can offer bevel cutting on parts on both straight and contoured edges.

Construction & Quarry Equipment

At CPEL, we can have excavator, loader and drill rig parts such as quick-hitches and digger buckets and linkages repaired and reinforced, new bosses and pins made and fitted. Augers repaired, shafts built up and machined for bearings, stub shafts repaired for hanger bearings. Specialised equipment like quarry and drill rig augers can be repaired and modified, tapered threaded adaptors made to retrieve lost drill bits. Drill extension guides made. Eyes of grab arms bored and bushed to suit new pins or bushes and more.

Hydraulic Rams

CPEL specialise in manufacturing and repairing hydraulic cylinders and rams. We can have new chrome rods made and fitted as well as new cast iron neck bushes and pistons made and fitted, seals supplied, cylinders reassembled and tested. Non-standard manifolds, fittings and feed pipes can be made and fitted. Eyes built up or sleeved and machined for pins or swivel bearings and circlip grooves remachined. We can also provide a rechroming service for large diameter or hollow rods.

Marine Propeller Shafts

We specialise in engineering steel boat shafts taper machined to suit propeller and keyed to suit couplings, couplings bored and keyed to suit shafts. We can machine flywheels, clutch plates, brake hubs and discs. Bearings can be removed from wheel hubs and new bearings fitted. Rubber mounted bushes can be removed from “A” frames and new bushes fitted. We can have fan brackets repaired, bored and bushed for bearings, swivel housings sleeved and machined to suit nylon or bronze bushes. Contact us for your all your bronze requirements including PB1 Bronze, PB2 Bronze and RG7 Bronze with high lead content. Call Pat or Declan now at 023-884-5498 for more details.

Pumps & Shafts

Industrial pumps are repaired, new shafts made, mild steel, stainless steel, shafts built up and machined or sleeved on seal and bearing positions, new bronze wear sleeves and wear rings made and fitted. Keyways can be widened or recut on impellers. Damaged or corroded impeller vanes welded and dressed or built with resin and re-moulded. Impellers can be dynamically balanced and refitted to shafts. Blank flanges drilled and tapped. Bronze nuts made for valve spindles and non-standard threaded pipe connectors
