 |
Barfeed part done in one setup
This part is done from the bar in one setup. Both threads and the knerl . |
 |
|
Nozzle with angled holes
The 6 holes drilled in the face of this part are at an angle. A live drilling spindle mounted on the tooling plate at an angle was used with X and Z combined moves |
 |
Course pitch groove with cross holes
|
 |
|
Brass coarse thread with live tool hole
This part has s coarse pitch thread that is oriented with a cross hole. With the C axis it was easy to coordinate the two features. |
 |
Connector part
This part was made by first by using the C axis to hollow mill the three lugs on the OD. The left over material was then broached off |
 |
|
Threaded part around a radius to a straight turn.
Using the P command with arc and linear moves it is possible to thread around corners. Multiple angle threads are also possible. |
 |
Knurled and threaded steel
This part was made on a GT-75 with a magazine bar feed. The OmniTurn out produced the customers other CNC lathe by quite a lot. The threading was done with a die head for speed. |
 |
|
Rings and bands
The OmniTurn is used around the world for turning all types of rings and bands. Many of our cusomters also use the C axis for chanelling and settings. |
 |
Glass filled plastic
This part was made complete off a solid bar. The live tool cross drilling was done with a Foredom. On end is threaded on the ID. A back bore is done through the part. |
 |
|
Titanium secondary
The blank is made on a larger CNC. The OmniTurn does a secondary for the OD thread and a back bore. |
 |
Cross tapping and off center drilling
OmniTurn has a simple cross tapping unit. Here is an example with two 2-56 tapped holes in alluminum. |
 |
|
Body art
Here is a small selection of some of the body art done on OmniTurns. The drilling and tapping of the balls is done with simple automatic loaders and sensitive tapping heads. There is nothing that beats the speed and sensitivity of the OmniTurn for this application! |
 |
Offcenter Secondaries
This part is held in a 2 jaw chuck off center to drill and single point thread one hole. The second hole is done with a Suhner live spindle and form tool. |
 |
|
Copper part with slots
Done complete from solid bar stock. |
 |

|
Watch case front and back
A number of watch case companies have used the OmniTurn for producing the "snap" fit back and seat for bezel |
 |
High quantitny secondaries for the fastener industry
Here is an example where a form tool is used to finish both sides of the large diameter and complete both grooves. The operations are all done with one tool. The material was 1018. |
 |
|
Face drilling with the C axis
A single live tool is used to complete this part. |
 |
J slots in steel
This part is done complete from bar stock, drilling, knurling, and slotting. |
 |
|
Steel tube with ramp
Complete from bar. |
 |
C axis ramp in brass
This part is made complete from bar. The ramp is generated with the C axis. |
 |
|
Made from rock
This material is used for insulation. It is extreemly abrasive. The end users is very pleased that he can "rebuild" the slide with new ways and ball screws when needed inexpensivly. |
 |
Brass parts from bar work
There is more to this part than can be seen. On the small stem in the bore there is an undercut that is done with a small hook tool. |
 |
|
Simple brass parts
The size is what makes this interresting. Small parts, small drills. Fast cycle time! |
 |
Die cast secondaries
High volume secondaries for die cast parts is common. Here we are single point threading the OD as well as doing ID and OD turning. |
 |
|
CNC turning with C axis has shorter setup time
This part is made from a tube of brass. There are 4 sets of holes, one of them is different. Two live tools are used to do the holes. On the end with a radius we shape the tube with a forming operation. |
 |
Complete C axis setup drops complete part
This part is dropped off complete. There is a drilled hole on the end not seen. Therefore the threaded end is done on the "back" side. Cross drilling and knurling complete this difficult setup. |
 |
|
Bearing races
The race on the face is generated with a smaller radius tool. |
 |
Hard turning of headed part
The radius is the only feature machined by the OmniTurn. It is in the 50's on the C scale. This setup included an automatic loader. |
 |
|
Steel tube with slot milled on end
This part is made complete from the bar. The slot is milled and then the ID and OD are turned, then a reslot to deburr. |
 |
Headed blank, radius generated in one pass with carbide tool
This part is in 1018. The radius is generated in one pass in under 3 seconds. |
