Using our 6 axis lathes with live tooling we are able to make complex parts in a fraction of the time it used to take. In the picture here you can see how this part would normally be many different operations on many different machining centers. We continue to explore the latest technology and try the latest tooling as well.
We use Mori Seiki CNC Lathes with main spindle, programmable sub-spindle, live-tooling and axes. They are the ultimate in Multi-Tasking lathes. Talk about LEAN machine cells, these machines are like two CNC Lathes back-to-back with a full CNC Machining center mounted on top; all working together towards a common goal, your parts faster, better and cheaper. Raw material goes in and finished parts come out. This virtually eliminates all Non-Value-Added activity in the machining process. No need for multiple fixtures and fixturing, no wait time going from machine to machine, no Batch and Queuing just pure LEAN processing. Every activity performed is continuously moving your part closer to a more finished state. Only VALUE added activities goes into your parts. If you are looking for a Good Machine Shop! Look no more.
