At Marion, we have invested in the capability to do multiple axis turning, with milling, in our dual-spindle CNC lathes. This production capability allows us to reduce setup and labor costs, therefore offering a highly precision part to our customers at a lower price point.
Utilizing the dual spindle, multi-axis lathes in our production machining operation allows us to fully machine tight tolerance, (+/-.000X), components, such as pistons, bearing cages, multi-groove pulleys, and carrier rings. This process is completed in one or two machining operations versus three to four machining operations. Doing so eliminates a wide variety of quality issues by reducing the opportunity for human error. We are then able to offer a higher quality product at a much lower cost to our customers.
