Automatic Turning Lathes

A feature that sets the Index lathe apart from others on the market is the kinematic actuation of the three turrets, rather than via standard compound slides.

“It results in fast movements both in and out of cut as well as high stiffness and rigidity, helping us to hold tight tolerances and the fine surface finish our customer requires.”

Portsmouth subcontractor DKW Engineering prides itself on an ability to value-engineer complex components and invest in new equipment to fulfil production economically. A good example is the re-engineering of a family of 316 stainless steel parts that go into flow meters used in the medical industry.
