A large percentage of small parts are being produced on sliding headstock CNC lathes simply because that is where manufacturers have capacity. The truth of the matter is that many of these small parts do not need to be machined in this fashion. What if you could increase your output 4-6 times and decrease your material cost while doing so? You can – running these parts on a CNC multiple spindle lathe!
Primary Topics:
- CNC Multi-Spindle machine versus a Swiss CNC
- Alternate ways to produce your parts
- Impact productivity has an overall investment
- With full CNC capability you can run smaller lot sizes.
