A primary objective for multi-spindle screw machines, or any metalcutting machine tool, is to accurately and rapidly deliver a cutting tool to a workpiece while precisely controlling its cutting action.
Read MoreEvolving From Cam Multi-Spindles To CNC
There are thousands of cam-driven multi-spindles out in the field producing millions of parts 24 hours a day. And while there may always be a place for these machines when high volumes of relatively loose-tolerance parts are required, the tide is turning. CNC multi-spindles have emerged as a viable alternative now.
