CNC lathes are most often solely 2 axis machines with one spindle. In addition they don’t have excessive manufacturing capabilities and usually don’t have a protecting enclosure around the machine. CNC turning centers are more advanced variations of CNC lathes with up to 5 axes and more versatility in reducing skill. They also offer the power to produce increased volumes and normally combine milling, drilling, and different capabilities.

What’s more stable than a verified laptop program? The motion of the instrument is all the time the same because its precision relies upon only on the precision of the step-motors. In standard machining, the replication accuracy differs greatly because it comes from the operator. And human error is all the time bigger than that of a program.

Uri Shaked decided to assemble a plotter, and soon realized that his 3D printer had every part he needed hardware-wise to perform this job. Attaching the pen was only a matter of designing and printing the hardware on his “future 2D printer” (file available here), leaving the step of figuring out the way to correctly control every little thing.

Deeply dedicated to zero-defect manufacturing, we employ probably the most superior metrology, calibration, profiling, and gauging equipment out there at this time, and our high quality management system is certified to each ISO 9001:2008 and TS16949 standards. We function using lean manufacturing principals, and supply tight turnarounds as well as an array of secondary providers.

We have now reinvested almost $100K back into our enterprise and purchased the Haas VF-3SSYT Vertical Mill, which expands our heavy-responsibility capabilities to machine larger, thicker elements, quicker, with greater precision, repeatability, and complexity, and in bigger portions. This particular Haas “super-speed” model presents more desk area- 40″ X 26″ and provides the potential of a 4th axis.
