New Crescent website launch


Crescent of Cambridge Launch new website

The Crescent website has been revised to reflect the changes that have occurred over the last few years in the range of staircases that we manufacture.

Crescent have been the market leaders for spiral staircases for many years and the introduction of new CNC machines has enabled us to streamline the manufacture of straight and feature helical staircases.

Our range of straight flight staircases covers simple access and fire escape stairs and also more elaborate internal feature stairs and fire escapes.

Our range of helical staircases covers both internal and external domestic stairs and also feature stairs for industrial and commercial projects.

Further development of our 3D draughting facilities will enable us to produce graphic illustrations of feature staircase designs to assist the end client in deciding on the final specification.

Crescent introduces high definition CNC plasma cutting and precision sheet steel folding

The recent introduction of a new high definition CNC plasma cutting machine, a 3.0 meter pressbrake and 3D draughting facilities have improved the efficiency and capabilities of our production unit.

The 6 x 2 meter bed on the Plasma unit allows straight staircase stringers of any width to be profiled directly from the CAD system and the unit has the facilities to cut all of the necessary fixing holes and etch any relevant tread positions.

The plasma unit also has an indexing head that allows 6 meter long tubes, of up to 500mm diameter, to be profiled or etched to any shape. This is particularly useful for spiral staircases that have high floor to floor height where the height is beyond the capabilities of our standard modular systems.

The pressbrake is programmed to take information from our 3D CAD system to automatically produce the blank sizes for various tread profiles.

The unit also automatically produces bending programmes for plasma cut profiles and can store them for future use.

All of our spiral, straight and helical tread profiles are produced on these machines and the accuracy and flexibility of the machines has enabled us to improve our productivity and offer a wider range of stair designs to our clients.
