Types of Machining
E. J. Basler offers CNC swiss screw machining services and has a World Class Swiss Lathe department. We currently also have the largest Swiss type lathe in the world at our manufacturing facilities allowing working diameters up to 38mm (1.5”).
Swiss Lathes (also know as swiss machines, swiss-type turning machines and sliding headstock machines) were originally designed for “long and skinny” parts (typically 6:1 length to diameter ratio or larger). The principle behind the swiss machine is that the bar moves to the tool rather than the tool moving to the bar (in the Z direction). This vastly reduces the amount of deflection during precision swiss machining since the cutting action occurs closer to the guide bushing. E.J. Basler has the capabilities to machine various material grades including red metals, 303, 304, and 316 stainless steel, and aluminum.
E.J. Basler Acme screw machines utilize 8 spindles to put 8 tools machining the part simultaneously for greater efficiency and lower cost. Our machines can accommodate bar stock sizes up to 51mm or 2” in diameter.
Hydromats are the go-to machine tool for high volume parts and are known for front and back working parts. Up to 16 stations can produce parts in 8 – 10 seconds. Suited for industries like automotive, hydraulics, industrial, plumbing and military. Let us dedicate a Hydromat to your high volume part.
Davenports make small diameter parts very quickly. For a certain class of parts they are the most cost efficient way to manufacture. Brass spacers, connectors, inserts and intake manifold parts are some of the products we make on our large array of Davenports at E.J. Basler in Huntley.
We have twin turret Eurotech lathes that handle complex geometries with high efficiency and tight tolerances. In addition we have a multiple single CNC lathes by Miyano and Okuma that fill in for a wide variety of customer part needs.
We automate machine loading and visual part checking to drive down costs and quality costs. We design and program these systems in house and will work to find the right solution to solve customer long term part needs.
