Specializing in CNC turning and milling for defense and medical sectors, producing precision mechanical parts.
In high-stakes industries like defense and medical manufacturing, precision is non-negotiable. CNC turning for defense applications demands ultra-reliable components, while mechanical turned parts for the medical sector require biocompatibility and micron-level accuracy.

CNC Lathe Basics
A CNC lathe uses subtractive machining to create the desired shape. After the G-code is generated, a blank bar of stock is loaded into the lathe spindle's chuck. As the spindle rotates, the chuck holds the workpiece securely in place. Once the spindle reaches the set speed, a stationary tool engages the workpiece and begins removing material until the desired geometry is achieved.

4.Quick proofing, short delivery time, usually is 3-15 days
There are many types of lathes, but the most common are two-axis CNC lathes and Swiss-type lathes. Swiss-type lathes are unique in that the stock material is fed through a guide bushing, allowing the tool to cut closer to the fulcrum. This design is particularly suitable for long, slender CNC lathe parts and micromachining.
Similar to CNC milling machines, CNC lathes can be easily set up for high repeatability, making them ideal for a wide range of products, from rapid prototyping to low- and high-volume production.
