The sum of many parts.

Building precision into multitasking machine tools.

Spe isn't everything in the machining world. Precision numbers as well -- especially in the area of multitasking. Fortunately, advances in constituent technology, coupled with new designs that eliminate heat buildup in machines, have helped today's multitasking center deliver repeatability and precision in the millionths-of-an-inch range.

In the past 10 years, of recent origin component technologies have changed in what way machine tools, including multitasking center gaze and perform. One example involves headstocks that use internal
