To be a competitor in today’s
metalworking market requires the creativity to
address both simple and complex tasks with unconventional
strategies. For this reason, John Prosock Machine,
Inc. has made the sensible decision to invest
in various Computer Numerical Control (CNC) precision
machines. John Prosock Machine, Inc., a leading
CNC machining company, offers customers metal
lathe turning for high levels of metal removal
and accuracy.
John Prosock Machine’s metal
lathes are designed to remove metal from a workpiece
through the use of state-of-the-art CNC cutting
tools. Cutting internal or external screw threads
is an important feature of this type of equipment.
At John Prosock, commonly turned metals include
aluminum, brass, and steel. However, we are capable
of working with a range of materials to meet customer
requirements and expectations. Metal turning is
primarily limited by the strength of the cutter
and the cutting speed. For this reason, John Prosock
Machine has invested in high-end cutters in our
high-tech CNC turning centers that provide excellent
spindle speed for exact tolerances and rapid turnarounds.
Benefits
of John Prosock Machine’s
Metal Lathe Turning include:
- Multiple operations can be performed
in one process
- Workpieces can be modified through
easy programming changes
- Different forming parameters
are quickly altered
- Tight tolerances
- Consistent repeatability
- Short lead times
- Lower tooling + production costs
= a BIG value to our customers!
How
CNC Metal Lathe Turning Produces
the Parts You Want at the Speed You Need
John Prosock’s machinists program the CNC
turning machine with the necessary data to perform
the required operations. A cutting tool is used
to remove metal from a workpiece. This cutting
tool is attached to a moveable-mounting device,
called an indexer which moves against the workpiece
through computer controlled motors. Leadscrews
are operated by motors that position the tool
in a variety of planes. The turning tools are
what produce the cuts that turn the stock into
the parts that match customer expectations. With
CNC technology this process can be completed accurately
and efficiently.
Years ago, training for metalworking
involved an older, more experienced machinist
who taught a young apprentice how to operate machines
as well as master turning and milling techniques
on the production floor. With the advancement
of technology, machine tools have become more
sophisticated providing the opportunity to produce
parts meeting the high demand for tighter tolerances.
Now, many CNC machining companies
have been implementing formal training programs
to enhance their long-term strategies for advancement
in addition to growth and John Prosock Machine, Inc. is no exception. At John Prosock Machine,
every machinist undergoes a rigorous training
program. They are taught how to use the CNC software
to visually simulate chip formation action, turning
processes, and how to predict feed rates and speeds.
Additionally, they learn the importance of efficiency
and productivity in machining.
