Live tool lathes are ideal for complex parts that require both turning and milling features such as flats, slots, cross-holes, keyways, and off-center machining.
These machines are commonly used in aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, defense, and industrial manufacturing.
We machine a wide range of materials including stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, carbon steel, titanium, and engineered plastics.
A CNC multi-axis live tool lathe is an advanced turning center that combines traditional turning with powered tooling and multiple axes, allowing turning, milling, drilling, and tapping in a single setup.
CNC Multi Axis Live Tool Lathes are advanced machining systems that go far beyond traditional turning. In addition to rotating the part for turning operations, these machines use powered live tooling to perform milling, drilling, tapping, and cross-hole machining without removing the part from the machine.
Multiple axes allow the cutting tools and the workpiece to move simultaneously in different directions. This enables the production of complex components with angled features, off-center holes, flats, slots, and intricate contours in a single setup.
By completing multiple operations in one continuous cycle, multi axis live tool lathes reduce setup time, minimize part handling, and significantly improve dimensional accuracy.
