A steel blank is gradually transformed into a precision-machined component, one of the key parts of a CNC lathe headstock. We produce it by turning and 5-axis CNC machining with an accuracy of up to 0.05 mm.
Production process: turning and 5-axis CNC machining
The component goes through several manufacturing stages:
- turning and rough machining,
- finish turning,
- final machining on a 5-axis DMC 90 CNC machining centre.
Final machining is carried out in two setups with an accuracy of up to 0.05 mm. More than 500 kg of material is removed from the blank during machining.
Grinding at the customer’s facility
But production does not end there. At the customer’s facility, the component is precision-ground to tolerances in the thousandths of a millimetre.
Another component from the same headstock
We also manufacture the spindle shaft for the same headstock. You can read how it is made in our article Spindle Shaft for CNC Lathes.
