Our smaller machines swing up to 16.5 inches and range from 40-inch centers to chucks capable of running parts as small as needle valves, while our turret lathes can process 5-inch bar stock. An in-house facility crane with a 15-ton lifting capacity makes it easy to transport large, heavy parts throughout the facility. Whether you need a part made from standard metals, high-performance alloys or engineered plastics, we can meet your specifications, timelines and budget requirements.
Vertical vs. Horizontal Lathes
Machining operations can take place on either a vertical or a horizontal lathe, which refers to the orientation of the spindle.
Vertical Lathes
Vertical lathes orient the spindle in a fixed position in the vertical plane. The workpiece moves up or down to place it in line with the appropriate tool necessary for the desired operation.
Vertical lathes are less complex than horizontal machines. They provide the best option for projects that focus on a single side, like large metal plates and sinking dies. They hold an advantage over horizontal lathes in circumstances where workpiece sagging might be a factor.
Horizontal Lathes
Horizontal lathes do not have a fixed spindle but use a variety of heads mounted to a horizontal arbor. These machines accommodate a wider variety of shapes and sizes and gravity works to keeping the workpiece clean during machining. Most horizontal lathes have the capacity to incorporate automatic bar-stock feeders.
Lathe Machine Operations
Depending on the specific machine and its tooling, our horizontal and vertical CNC turning capabilities include:
- Drilling
- Milling
- Knurling
- Boring
- Tapering
- Threading
