Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machining creates numerous detailed parts required in dozens of industries. Many industries require custom-created parts for specific uses rather than mass production. The ability to accurately design and create pieces with a computer is the key factor many companies are looking for. Industries including the medical field, transportation, the military and… Read more »
Recently, an increasing number of factories and production facilities have adopted CNC lathes as their tool of choice. Experts expect the global CNC machine market to grow to $100.9 billion in value, an annual growth rate of 6.8%. Lathe machines held a significant leading share of more than 27% in 2016. Due to features such… Read more »
The precision manufacturing industry relies heavily on computer-numerical control (CNC) machining, including operations that once used engineer-operated equipment like routers, shaping machines, vertical millers and center lathes. Manufacturers of many types of industries choose CNC machining because it provides efficient, expedient and precise production capacity ideal for creating large quantities of items normally produced with a… Read more »
A screw machine is a type of lathe used for the precise shaping of hard materials (usually metal) into specially designed components. Typically, this equipment works by rotating a workpiece at high speeds and allowing it to be operated on by various changeable cutting tools. Screw Machine might be a misleading term for this machine… Read more »
As a type of lathe, Swiss machines have been used for more than 100 years to manufacture with accuracy. The term “Swiss” in machining actually has more than one meaning. To some it is a type of machine, and to others it represents a product of uncommonly small size or high precision. To us at… Read more »
