CNC machine enables turning of 40mm components

German multi-spindle automatic lathe manufacturer Index has introduced a six-spindle CNC machine of 40mm bar capacity to enable the production of a range of mill-turned components.
The multi sits between 32- and 52mm-capacity models in the Multiline range, but the price is closer to that of the smaller machine.
Index’s range of CNC multis encompasses a 22mm-capacity [...]

Latest CNC turning ups blow mould productivity

A long-bed lathe is helping a manufacturer of blow moulds to increase its productivity and maintain its competitive advantage by reducing set-up time for turning complex cavities.
Solent Mould Tool (SMT) – the UK’s largest independent blow mould manufacturer has recently invested in a Hardinge Talent 10/78L (long-bed) lathe.
The machine, installed at SMT’s Waterlooville facility in [...]

CMZ’s TB range of turning centres features an extremely rigid cast iron frame

The machines have linear guide-ways, allowing accelerations of up to 1G and rapid traverse speeds of 30m/min.
french machine tool manufacturer, CMZ, said at the UK’s MACH 2008 machine tool show last week that its TB range of turning centres features an very rigid cast iron frame that is machined, in-house by CMZ.

Boosting the productivity of a lathe operation by at least 50 percent is as

Boosting the productivity of a lathe operation by at least 50 percent is as

easy as adding a barfeeder. Such productivity gains stem from the fact that barfeeders provide a constant supply of raw part material to lathes, allow for unattended operation and lend support for machining at fast speeds.
Without barfeeders, a shop has to cut [...]

Swiss turning centers

In collaboration with Citizen Machinery Tech Center in Elmira, N.Y.

Hardinge Inc. has developed and now manufactures standard TF-25 OG overgrip collets for Cincom M20 and L20 lathes. Overgrip collets — also referred to as over-the-shoulder collets — are used on a pick-off spindle when it is required to clear a shoulder and grip on a [...]
