MULTI-SPINDLE SCREW MACHINING

 

About Our Multi Spindle Machines & Process

The multi-spindle screw machine is a turning machine that allows multiple tools to cut multiple pieces of material simultaneously. Multiple spindles are carried in a precision machined drum that rotates in a horizontal orientation. The total number of operations needed to complete a part are divided among the number of spindles, so that a part is completed with one full rotation of the drum. DW Product’s multi-spindle machines are configured with 5 or 6 spindles with each spindle having a cross-slide and end-slide tool, effectively making each spindle a 2-axis lathe.

DW Products was founded running multiple spindle screw machines and 60 years later, we’re still at it producing millions upon millions of parts every year in our machining center. With our Wickman and Davenport multi spindle machines, capable of running up to 1-3/4″ diameters and an almost unlimited array of attachments, DW Product’s multi-generational professional machinists have the experience and ability to produce a complex precision machined part completely in one setup, without additional handling or operations. This saves time and money, which results in our customers getting the best price possible. High-volume screw machine parts produced here in the United States, are often more cost-competitive than parts from our offshore competitors.

As an industry leader in parts manufacturing, we understand that we’re producing machined parts that are critical to your product launches. Given the importance of quality components being delivered on schedule, our technical experts are involved every step of the way, from initial quote to final production, ensuring the success of your project. Productivity, efficiency, savings, and other value-added capabilities are what you can expect from DW Products’ Multi-Spindle Screw Machine capabilities.

Turnkey Multi-Spindle Screw Machining Services and Applications

A Multi Spindle Screw Machine excels in CNC machining because of its ability to handle multiple functions on the same pass. DW Products has multi-spindle machinery with attachment tools capable of cutting many shapes while accommodating various-sized parts. Because it can combine multiple functions on one machine, multi-spindle screw equipment is perfect for improving production speeds on high-scale production runs.

Among our extensive list of machines in our machine shop, we boast over two dozen multi-spindle screw machines that can handle various materials to deliver an extensive parts range, including 12 Davenport 5-spindle automatic cross drilling and slotting machines, plus 12 Wickman 6-spindle automatic back drilling and pick-off machines. Our knowledgeable and experienced engineering team can guide you through the equipment specifications and answer any technical questions about multi spindle machining or your manufacturing needs.

Multi Spindle Screw Machine Benefits

Besides the ability to perform multiple functions within a single drum rotation, the most significant advantages of using a multi spindle machine include machine efficiency and repeatability. The improved speed and functional capacity over conventional equipment provide value-added cost savings by eliminating secondary machine processes, offering shorter cycle times, and increasing production rate.

Additional benefits include the following:

  • Using fewer machines and processes results in improved energy efficiency and cost savings.
  • Multi-spindle machines offer higher levels of accuracy and repeatability within the production process.
  • Performing multiple functions on one pass reduces manned labor requirements.
  • Multi-spindle equipment can deliver speeds up to five times faster than single-spindle equipment, enabling mass production of manufactured parts.
