Metalmite was quick to join the technology bandwagon and getting our first 6 axis lathe in the early 2000’s. We now have three of them and they are firing on all cylinders! We have done some incredible projects all in one machine. We can take raw bar stock, turn and mill it, gear cut, and pass to the second spindle and finish machine it, to accomplish a complete part in a fraction of the original time.
We use Mori Seiki CNC Lathes with main spindle, programmable sub-spindle, live-tooling and Y 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.
