The 1605-SA Pneumatic Collet Chucking unit is an update to the classic lever operated chucking mechanism. On machines equipped with pneumatic control systems, the addition of this unit can be a great way to improve the user experience and remove a possible source of error. On standard lever actuated chucking mechanism, operators have to hit the lever repetitively throughout the course of a job to load bars and set collet tension. The pneumatic system can be used to open/close the collet during bar loads to lessen operator fatigue, and remove a means of direct operator to machine interaction. The use of pneumatics allows for easy pushbutton operation as opposed to repeatedly hitting the lever open or closed. The 1605-SA includes mounts, modified lever, control valve assembly, and other necessary hardware to connect the unit to the electrical/pneumatic systems.
Key Features:
Eliminates need to manually close chuck, switches action from lever to push button.
Improves setup time and minimizes recurring problems

The Davenport Screw Machine enclosure has recently undergone a variety of improvements to enhance the overall user experience, as well as to bring the machine into compliance with modern safety standards. With improved noise abatement and the addition of the door interlock system, the enclosure now offers a safer, code compliant working environment for the operator. Other changes to lighting, visibility and the wiring layout combine to add value to what is now standard for many new enclosure configurations. New HP machines come standard with the door interlock system and updated enclosure. Machines with enclosure model DSM-2000 and newer are compatible with the interlock system. If the enclosure model is DSM-85 or DSM 90 XL, it will require an enclosure upgrade to use interlocks. Depending on machine configuration, the interlock system may need auxiliary components in order to work properly.
Key Benefits of an Updated Enclosure, and Door Interlocks:
LED light upgrade, with more protection for lighting and longer working life
Large windows in 4 doors is standard in new enclosures, for better machine visibility
Electrical wiring is routed through opening on top of the enclosure to eliminate oil running down the wires onto the floor, as it was in older models
The door interlock system gives the operator a more safe and effective use of the machine, without any compromise in functionality
Interlock system allows the machine to run automatically with all doors closed
The Interlock system allows for a jog only condition while doors are open
The Interlock system brings guarding and safety features into alignment with updated workplace safety standards
When a new enclosure is purchased with interlocks, most integration can be done in our Rochester, NY facility to minimize installation time. New machine controls may be required and can be integrated into the enclosure as well.

A CNC (or Computer Numerical Control) machine is an electro-mechanical device that uses computer programming inputs to operate machine shop tools. CNC machining is one common way to create prototypes (the other method being 3D printing).
While there are advantages to both, CNC is faster and stronger as it involves creating something new out of an already solid material. CNC machine programming offers many production advantages over previous methods of machining and is an indispensable tool across many industries.
How CNC Machines Work
Running on a set of prescribed digital instructions, CNC machines use computer files to execute a project. These digital instructions are created in either Computer Aided Design (CAD) or Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) files.
Once the program is uploaded, an operator runs a test program, often referred to as “cutting air.” This trial run is an important first step to verifying both speed and tool position because any discrepancies can result in damage to the machine or the part being created.
To maximize efficiency, CNC machines combine multiple tools into common cells or units. They produce the desired end product by removing material from the original stock source. This results in a stronger, more durable finished product.
The Two Types of CNC Machines
Conventional Technologies
Drills – These operate by spinning a drill bit and cutting it into a block of stock material.
Lathes – These are the opposite of drills. They spin the stock material against the drill bit instead of spinning the bit and cutting into the block.
Milling Machines – These use revolving cutting tools to remove material from the block. They are the most common type of CNC machine used today.
Novel Technologies
Electrical Machining – This highly specialized technology is common in special cases for mass production that use a certain type of material.
Other Mediums – Examples of this CNC machining technology include water-jet cutting, plasma cutting machines, and laser cutting machines.
Advantages of CNC Machines
They can run for 24 hours a day.
They can product jobs with higher accuracy and precision than other manual machines.
Operators can make changes easily, which reduces the delay time.
Fewer workers are needed to operate these machines, which saves labor costs.
CNC machines have the capability to create complex designs with high accuracy in a short amount of time.
The modern design software for CNC machines removes the need of producing a prototype or model before executing a project, which saves money and time in the long run.
CNC machining is vital part of many industries, such as aerospace, medical, automotive, and mining. Davenport Machine brings 100 years of innovation to each project, so every client has a product that meets their specifications and industry standards.

Multi-spindle screw machines are turning machines that use a number of tools mounted on a central spindle to simultaneously operate on material pieces. A precision-machined drum carries multiple spindles while typically rotating horizontally. To complete a part in one full rotation of the drum, the machine automatically divides the total number of operations between the spindles. With one part completed per drum index, multi-spindle screw machines deliver a highly efficient production process.
Basics of Multi-Spindle Screw Machines
All multi-spindle screw machines include accurate and rigid spindle-carrying heads. New machine models use angular contact radial bearings in the place of bronze or needle bearings, reducing runout for spindles to consistently less than 0.0005 in.
Cross drilling (drilling multiple holes at varying timed positions)
Thread rolling
Shaving
Swaging
Stamping
Burnishing

Parts of a Multi-Spindle Machine
Multi-spindle screw machines consist of three main components: the multi-spindle drill head, multi-spindle drill head attachment, and either a single or automatic multi-spindle lathe.
Multi-Spindle Drill Head
Multi-spindle screw machine drill heads typically contain numerous spindles mounted on ball bearings and driven by gears. The distance between the drill head’s spindles governs drill head bearing choice.
Multi-Spindle Drill Head Attachments
Multi-spindle screw machines incorporate fixed and adjustable drill heads.
Adjustable drill heads allow the drilling spindle’s center distance to vary according to specific requirements.
Fixed drilling heads have invariable center distance, allowing more precise drilling.
Multi-Spindle Lathe
A lathe rotates worked material on its axis to facilitate performance of operations including cutting, deformation, and turning. It operates by applying tools to the worked material as the lathe spins.
Mass production prefers multi-spindle lathes because they boost production rates four to six times greater than a single lathe machine.
Multi-Spindle Automatic Lathe
Automatic lathes for multi-spindle screw machines perform a range of operations, including:
Turning
Chamfering
Threading
Grooving
Boring holes
Drilling
These processes operate by moving the worked piece between the screw machine’s six to eight positions.
Types of Multi-Spindle Screw Machines
Davenport Machine’s multi-spindle screw machines deliver the most efficient production method for high-volume parts. Our selection of elite screw machines includes the Davenport HP, the Model B, and the Chucker.
