Screw machines are automated lathes which can machine turned parts. The machine components spin very quickly on a rotating lathe, which shaves down metal to the size desired. There are two types of screw machines: Turret and Swiss machine. The Turret, also known as. Brown & Sharpe after its first manufacturer, mounts the workpiece on… Read more »

The latest machining technology should be used in your warehouses and workshops to accurately create medical components. Swiss-style lathes are a great combination of precision and repeatability due to their guide-bushing design, which provides support for the workpieces very close to the cut. Most businesses recognize that the US medical market offers more opportunities for… 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 »
