Products and Services

A.B.T offer a range of products and services to the engineering sector. Find out more below:

Machine Tools

A.B.T. has serviced Scottish Engineering for over 30 years. During this time, we have carefully cultivated partnerships with selected suppliers to establish an industry leading product range that is both extensive and wholly complementary.

Our experienced engineers make it their business to understand your operational requirements and will apply their expertise and product knowledge to your advantage.

We can specify, supply and commission a vast range of single unit machines and will only leave the installation once your operators are fully confident in their abilities to use the equipment.

We also pride ourselves on our capability to propose, design, fabricate and install Turnkey packages that support high volume production.

Carbide Tools & Tooling Systems

A.B.T. are the sole suppliers to the Scottish Engineering Market for some of the world's most prestigious producers of advanced tooling products.
Our product-trained and experienced production engineers are fully conversant in the application of these products.

All suppliers of products to A.B.T. offer a technical back up service and Product Specialists are available to provide assistance if required.

We will be happy to arrange cutting trials on your workpieces at our Technical Centre in Cumbernauld or at your facility, so that you can be confident when specifying our products.

Turnkey Packages

For Increased Productivity

Wherever volume production is required, efficiency is an absolute prerequisite.

From simply looking at your component and current production set-up, A.B.T. will be able to suggest new ideas for speeding up manufacturing, taking into account volumes, turnaround conditions and the order sizes you need to meet.

The turnkey package we propose will combine both capital and consumable elements, including the machine tool, the tooling systems and tool storage. Frequently, it will also include multi-function combination tooling products.

Where required, we can also put together workshop/machine shop facilities and provide training both at our technical centre in Cumbernauld or on-site within your premises.

No other company in Scotland can offer the extensive range of services that A.B.T. provide.

Multifeature Tooling

Special Tools Designed and Quoted.

Your A.B.T. engineer's production experience means that he is uniquely well placed to advise on and design combination tools that will help increase productivity.
Not only will these tools be uniquely suited to your application, but they may also cost less than standard catalogue tools.


The technology behind this innovative service comes through the application of two unique design systems:

(RAD) Rigibore Automated Design software from Rigibore

and

A.B.T.'s production engineers are the only registered suppliers of these systems in Scotland and will be happy advise on the relative merits and turnaround times of the different systems

All you need to do is to send us the specifications for your finished component by post, fax or e-mail and we will be able to design the appropriate tool.

Where required, our sales representatives can also design the special with the client on their own premises.
