Affordable, Flexible Production Turning
A newly introduced bar machine from Romi Machine Tools is purpose built to perform both mid-range production (500 to 10,000 pieces) and short run, high mix applications.
Pipe Fittings Produced In A Single Operation
As with many manufacturers today, streamlining production to stay competitive in the global market has become increasingly important at this company. Thatýs why it sought out a machine to produce a double-ended pipe fitting in a single operation as opposed to having to do the back-tapping in an entire second operation.
Staking A Claim In the CNC Multi-Slide Niche

Seeing A Multi Through Different Eyes
Sometimes if you don’t 'know' any better, applying technology in new ways simply makes sense. That’s partly what helped drive this family-owned OEM to acquire its first, and so far only, multi-spindle to help it get a better handle on production and inventory control.
Complex Angular Dental Implants...on Multi-Axis Automatic
Just like a car or a machine, the human body benefits from the technological progress of small parts turning equipment. Precision and stringent requirements for safety and stability are essential in the medical industry. In fact, the demands made on surgical screws (bone screws, maxillary-facial screws, implants and so on) and bio-implants can be much greater for the human body than for many industrial and commercial product applications.
Military Supplier Delivers On Spec, On Time
When your only product is socket set screws and your primary customers are the demanding aerospace and military markets, quality and uptime are paramount. Your multi-spindle machines need to be reliable and easily reconfigured to produce a new part at a moment’s notice.
CNC Upgrades Breathe New Life Into Brownies
Used in lean manufacturing processes, multis can suffer from long setup times. Upgraded Brownies often compete very favorably with multis on medium-length runs.
Monitoring Perishable Tools On Automatics
Monitoring tool wear is an essential component to getting greater productivity and lower costs from a machine tool.
Meeting China's Challenge, British Style
This British shop is writing off simple, low-margin jobs, concentrating instead on tough-to-make parts in medium to high volumes for its new CNC multi-spindle machines.
Think You Can’t Afford New CNC Multi Technology?
At first glance, one might not think that spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on new CNC multi-spindle technology could actually improve a shop’s financial statement within several months, but it can and has at 64-year-old Kaddis Manufacturing in Rochester, New York.
