In addition to common turning or lathe processes, we also handle "live milling" (or live tooling). This improves workflow for complex parts that require more complex geometries that would otherwise require multiple machines and setup.
Live tooling is essentially just the integration of milling and turning operations on the same machine, in this case with sequential processes. But, by adding a third linear axis to the turning-center turret (a live Y-axis) this enables the rotary cutters to machine across the spindle center line.
Rather than take a turned part to a second machine tool when it needs a slot milled or a hole drilled, with live tooling we can do simple milling, drilling, and tapping, right on the turning center. This saves work and cycle-time, and that allows us to save money for our customers.
