Modern screw machines are as varied as the parts they produce. The range of precision machined components is nearly endless, and each type of screw machine has been developed to meet the needs of this constantly expanding range of products.
Some components must be made in such large quantities that the multi-spindle cam automatic screw machine was developed, allowing the work to be distributed among each spindle and reducing the machine time required to produce each workpiece, maintaining tolerances as small as ¼ the width of a human hair.
Swiss CNC-controlled sliding headstock machines efficiently and accurately provide tight tolerances and excellent cosmetics on long, slender, or miniature parts with complex features for any number of applications, including medical, aerospace, defense, and automotive.
In contrast, due to their larger size and rigidity, components of larger diameter are better machined on a CNC Mill/Turn center. The latest designs are capable of turning and milling a component in a single setup, with some machines holding entire magazines of cutting tools that can be utilized completely automatically.
As manufacturing moves fully into the next industrial revolution, the addition of automation coupled with large scale data collection and analysis offers even more potential for advancement. Cox Manufacturing has sought after the most modern and advanced machining technologies for over 60 years and will continue to do so to deliver premier production machined parts.
