The GEN TURN<\/a> sliding headstock lathe is a highly versatile machine that is designed for efficient and accurate production, with fast cycle times.<\/p>\n Sliding headstock lathes are known for their extreme accuracy and precision. They can machine thousands of components to very tight tolerances and at the same time maintain these tolerances on part 1 just as well as part 1000.<\/p>\n Sliding headstock lathes can produce complete parts without much interference from a human operator. The material is loaded into a bar loader and the machine then automatically loads the material through the guide bushing where it is pushed out to be machined<\/a>. Once the part is done it is ejected into a part receptacle. The process will then continue as long as the bar feeder is kept loaded with stock.<\/p>\n Sliding headstock lathes were specifically designed to produce small parts that traditional lathes would not be capable of machining.<\/p>\n Typical sliding headstock lathes can carry up to 20 tools or more. This means that tools do not need to be changed every time a new part is to be machined.<\/p>\n Due to the material being supported so close to the guide bushing, heavier cuts can be taken without the part deflecting, and this is yet another speed benefit for these types of lathes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″ background_color=”#0c0c0c” parallax=”on” custom_padding=”||5%|” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_module=”29266″ collapsed=”off” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ module_class=” et_pb_row_fullwidth et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” width=”94%” width_tablet=”80%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”94%” max_width_tablet=”80%” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px|||” custom_padding=”0px|||” make_fullwidth=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding_tablet=”5%|0px||” custom_padding_phone=”2%|0px||” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.expandmachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ExpandMachinery_Logo.png” alt=”Expand Machinery – CNC Milling Machines & Lathes” title_text=”Expand Machinery – CNC Milling Machines & Lathes” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.7.4″ max_width=”200px” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”||30px|” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.5″ text_text_color=”#444444″ text_font_size=”12px” text_line_height=”1.4em” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”-10%|||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”11″ text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_tablet=”” text_line_height_phone=”1.2em” text_line_height_last_edited=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n \u00a0TERMS OF USE<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0|\u00a0 \u00a0PRIVACY POLICY<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0|\u00a0 \u00a0RACING<\/a><\/p>\n expandmachinery.com | 818.349.9166 | Copyright \u00a9 2015-2020 Expand Machinery, LLC.

Maybe you don't need to splurge on fancy machines. Maybe a mill-turn machine is just what you need...\r\n\r\nMill-turn machines have many general uses but did you know that they can also speed up your manufacturing process? Most machines rotate the part (turning) and mill in two separate operations. Mill-turns expedite part production by doing both operations at the same time with impressive accuracy. \r\n\r\nHere's how it works: mill-turn machining, otherwise known as live tool machining, gives you an extra Y-axis. The trick is knowing when you need a Y-axis versus a C-axis, or 3-axis machine. You'll want to use the Y-axis when your part requires the machine tool to be pulled from the center and in any case where you want to reduce the number set-ups. The biggest time saver and benefit of using a mill-turn is that you only have one set-up which means higher-quality parts, less time, fewer operators, and faster delivery times. All of that means more money in your pocket!\r\n\r\nMill-turns are a great solution to stay competitive in today's marketplace, especially when you want to advance without breaking the bank on a fancy 5-axis machine. Many job shops see between a 15-30% improvement in their overall process time. It makes perfect sense when you visualize it: a bar stock on one side and parts that come out of on the other.\r\n\r\nProgramming made easy: one of the key components to success with a mill-turn is working with your supplier to determine the best programming software. It doesn't have to be a tough descision and we're here to help you figure out what is best for your shop's needs.\r\n\r\nContact us today to learn more about mill-turns and how we can help you improve your manufacturing process.","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,23],"tags":[24,25],"yoast_head":"\nKey Advantages<\/span><\/h2>\n
