Our Production Turning Equipment
Our workshop’s production turning equipment includes:
- XYZ CT65 HD with Hydrafeed bar feed: providing a bar-fed option for suitable turned components.
- Ward 2DB 8 Tool Station Capstan Production Lathe: for small to medium batch machining.
- Emi Mec 10 Tool Station Mass Production Lathe with a 6-metre bar feed: for production turning requirements.
This combination allows us to assess both smaller batches and high-volume work. The appropriate machine depends on the part dimensions, material and operations required.
Turning Capacity for Larger Components
Our stated workshop turning capacities include:
- Components up to 1,200 mm long × 240 mm outside diameter.
- Flanges up to 450 mm outside diameter × 100 mm long.
These figures describe different component configurations. Suitability depends on the complete geometry, workholding and machining requirements, so please submit your drawing for confirmation.
For bar-fed production, contact us to discuss the stock size and finished component dimensions relevant to your project.
Planning for Cost-Effective Production
Batch size can affect the unit cost of a turned component. Setup and tooling costs are distributed across the quantity produced, while cycle time, material use and additional operations also contribute to the overall price.
Providing your expected volumes helps us assess the work in its production context. If you are comparing different order quantities, include each quantity in your enquiry so we can review the options.
For recurring requirements, tell us your anticipated order frequency and target delivery dates. This provides a clearer basis for discussing production planning and future supply.
