For many medium to high volume parts with normal tolerances, the most economical method of manufacture is a cam operated single or multi-spindle automatic turning machine. Your part requirements will be quoted based on the most economical manufacturing equipment and process we have. Considerations include: volume, set-up time, tooling cost, cycle time, and quality requirements. HMP has a variety of conventional turning solutions for our customers.
Multi-Spindle Automatics
For medium to high volume parts between ¾" and 2-1/4" diameter our thirteen six spindle National Acmes or New Britains can likely do the job. For high volume parts ¾" diameter or smaller our ten Davenport five spindle automatics may be the most cost effective solution.
Single Spindle Automatics
For medium volume parts up to 1-1/2" diameter our twenty Brown & Sharpes are ideal, especially for long parts (up to 15") that can benefit from automatic bar loaders on several of our machines.
