What is multi-axis CNC screw machining?
Screw machines were originally developed to automate and quickly produce large quantities of identical parts – including screws. While screw machines may not be much different than their original counterparts, modern technologies, and automation have made them highly efficient and cost-effective.
Elimold screw machines are perfect for your single-spindle and multi-spindle quick-turn part needs. Our screw machines can fit a series of different tools to allow for complex automatic screw machine work including tapping, forming, threading, and broaching.
A machine is only as good as the person operating it. Our skilled team includes some of the best screw experts in the business. Trust that Elimold can find the right solution for all your screw machining needs.
What is Custom Multi-Axis Screw Machining?
A multi-axis screw machine is an automated lathe that processes a wide variety of metals and materials into thousands of important machine parts. Screw machines form parts by clamping the workpiece from both ends and the middle while the tool carves the part, assembly or workpiece from multiple sides.
Screw machines are designed to cut metal quickly and can complete multiple machining options and processes simultaneously. Screw machines use mechanical levers, hand-cut steel cams and replaceable gears to determine the spindle speed of the process and produce unique nuts, bolts, parts and assemblies to customer specifications.
How Does Multi-axis Screw Machining Work?
At Elimold, we are proud to be one of the few contract manufacturers with both single- and multi-axis CAM-operated screw machines. Our single-axis machines can process barstock up to 1-5/8” in diameter, while our multi-axis machines can process barstock up to 2-1/4” in diameter.
Our screw machining process is a testament to efficiency. Here is a quick rundown of how we turn barstock into precision parts with multi-axis screw machining:
- Material Loading. Barstock is carefully loaded into the material magazine and then fed into the work chuck, ready for machining.
- Six stations with up to 18 different tools in the cut. Six stations, one for each spindle, can handle up to three machining operations per station.
- Rotate and Repeat. After each cycle of operation, the material rotates the workpiece to the next station, and the process repeats. When the workpiece rotates through all six positions, the finished part drops.
- Optimizing Cycle Times. We optimize cycle times to ensure that the station that requires the longest run time sets the pace for the entire process.
Multi-Spindle CNC Screw Machining Advantages
Multi-axis screw machining offers many advantages over other machining and manufacturing processes, such as:
Higher design versatility
Multi-axis screw machines can make parts that are too expensive or impossible to make with traditional machining and manufacturing techniques, such as very small or complex screws with multiple surface features.
Wider material applicability
Multi-axis screw machining processes are applicable to a wide range of metal and non-metal materials. In addition, the same machine can be configured and reconfigured to process different materials based on part and production specifications.
Lower deflection
In multi-axis screw machining operations, the distance between the workpiece support and the cutting face is extremely small, which reduces workpiece bending and cutting face deflection. This process feature enables manufacturers to achieve tighter tolerances on machined parts.
Higher productivity
Once configured and loaded, the multi-axis screw machine can operate autonomously, minimizing operator involvement. Because the machine can accommodate multiple spindles and tools, a single operation is often sufficient to produce near-net-size parts.
Higher cost-effectiveness
Multi-axis screw machining processes enable high-volume production of precision parts, often with little or no secondary finishing. Swiss screw machines can incorporate a variety of cutting tools to perform different machining operations and achieve different elements on the workpiece.
Higher Levels of Control
While the multi-axis screw machining process itself allows for the manufacture of precision parts and products, integrating CNC technology into the equipment allows manufacturers to achieve tighter tolerances and reduce the potential for production errors.
