Secondary operations can often be time-consuming and cost prohibitive. Many shops invest in expensive CNC lathes to get the precision finishes they need on detailed components and parts, while others try to accomplish the same precision with older machines at slower speeds. Neither is an ideal solution for larger production
Davenport & CJWinter are excited to announce that they will be attending the 2018 PMPA National Technical Conference from April 21-24 in Rosemont, IL. We will join other technical and quality leaders from across the country to exhibit the latest technology and machining capabilities used by precision machining shops today.
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
Basics of Multi-Spindle Screw Machines A multi-spindle screw machine is a type of lathe with more than one working spindle. Each spindle holds its own individual workpiece, with one or more opposing cutting tools to complete various machining operations. These spindles are contained inside of a revolving drum (see example
In the world of manufacturing, cam-driven multi-spindle machines will always be an important part of part production. When it comes to high-volume orders and those less constrained tolerances, cam-driven is the answer. But, as manufactured parts get smaller and technology grows more complex, we are also experiencing an industry-wide demand
The Davenport Hybrid Machine: CNC Precision and Efficiency, Higher ROI The Hybrid is the next generation of five-spindle screw machines. It combines the reliability of Davenport’s classic machine platforms with the accuracy and flexibility of CNC machining. The Hybrid significantly boosts production output, improves ROIs and enhances part accuracy by
Davenport Machine has a storied history and is an iconic brand. Its place in the pantheon of American machine tool builders is assured. However, in the multi-spindle world, it is the last company standing. At PMTS in April, the company announced a new machine, called the Concept, designed to help move
Most of the time, the information that’s revealed at PMTS is only available to those attending the show. This year, Davenport is excited to reveal our product news to our all of customers and contacts in real time! Davenport is excited to announce three brand new pieces of technology to
Thread rolling and screw machine experts CJWinter and Davenport Machine Tool Company will once again showcase at this year’s Precision Machining Technology Show (PMTS 2017). The sister companies will debut brand new machinery and updated product technology at their booth. CJWinter will show a variety of tooling including thread rolls,
One of the great things about the family was all the Aunts, Uncles and cousins. The family reunions were always a hoot with lots of kidding, yelling, singing and love. Beer and brats at Uncle Jay and Aunt Dot’s were always well attended family reunions. Dad used to bring the
