With 8 fixed-head lathes in our factory, we can work continuously on large-batch orders to a tight tolerance. These complement our suite of machines well to provide a full spectrum service.
Fixed-head manufacturing has many applications, and we subcontract to make components and parts for industries as varied as medical equipment, aerospace, nuclear, oil and gas, defence and pharmaceutical devices.
Fixed-head machining is capable of handling much larger diameter workpieces than sliding-head lathes. The fixed-head refers to the cutting tool head, which stays in one place while the spindle rotates the workpiece. The cutting tool moves up and down to the correct depth, controlled by computer for complete accuracy.
We run fixed-head machining jobs side-by-side in our 8x fixed-head lathes, providing a quick turn-around on our subcontract orders.
Our largest fixed-head machines can take on parts up to 65mm diameter for bars and 250mm diameter billets, and we hold positive stock for your replacement parts at no extra charge.
