Machining
CNC Swiss Screw Machining
- – High-volume turned components manufacturing
- – Well-suited to long parts with tightly controlled turned diameters
- – Live-tooling and subspindles; capable of machining very complex
parts in single operation - – Single operation features more accurately placed on part and more
efficient and cost-effective
CNC Milling
- – Parts machined include any generally rectangular part that could not be efficiently produced by turning
- – Parts machined also include forgings and castings that require post-casting machining of thread and ports
- – Materials milled include brass, aluminum, stainless steel, bronze, and plastics
- – Quantities from a few pieces to thousands of pieces
- – Several of OEP’s VMCs include a 4th axis attachment allowing for machining several faces of a part in one chucking
CNC 2-Axis Lathes and Turning
- – Automatic magazine bar feeders allow for around-the-clock operation
- – Quantities for runs range from hundreds to tens of thousands
- – OEP turns parts in wide range of plactics such as Delrin ©, Ultem©,
PEEK© as well as metals such as aluminum, brass and stainless steel - – Rapid Prototyping
Multi-Axis Turning
Wide range of materials and quantities produced; low-prices, high-quality and short lead times
- – Create complex parts by moving multiple complex tools (form tools) in one
axis - – Prices are more competitive with larger quantities
- – Some of OEP’s machines are hybrid with elements form both CNC control
and cam operation–set up and dimensional maintenance are more efficient
