What about threadcutting?
We install a high resolution encoder on the lathe spindle which enables all types of
threadform to be produced. Indeed, one of the best applications for our system has been the conversion of hollow spindle lathes for cutting
Hydril, VAM and API threads on oil pipe.
I have an exceptionally large, small, strange lathe, etc. Is
it suitable?
Give us a challenge! We've converted over 70 different types including DSG, Ward, Herbert, Churchill,
Warner Swazey, Mazak, Tos, Colchester ......
What about long bed lathes ?
These are often used for machining critical end detail on long components
such as hydraulic cylinders, threaded pipe, etc. In this case we can mount a short two axis unit to the lathe saddle
where it can be positioned anywhere along the bed to suit different length components. Strange idea - but we've already proved
it out many times over - it works!
What controls do you use?
Industry standard controls that are supported world-wide - the
Vickers A2100, Fanuc 21i, Allen Bradley 9/230, Osai 10 series and the 8601. We are approved
retrofitters for all these leading companies.
What options are there?
We fit manual quick change toolposts,
bi-directional indexing turrets, spindle control, C-axis swarf conveyors, barfeeds, hydraulic/pneumatic chucks, work
handling systems, probing, etc. Our modular approach means that you can order what you need now, and upgrade later.
