Sliding Head CNC Lathe Products

Why does Meadowlark Precision use sliding head lathes?

With its improved performance characteristics, sliding head cnc lathes are able to produce specialised products at the right time, and for the right price.

These specialist lathes are claimed to be more accurate than conventional machines, the implications of this are that more demanding work can be undertaken

This improved accuracy sometimes means that secondary processes like grinding are no longer necessary. In time critical runs this could be significant.

Furthermore, by virtue of their design they are claimed to waste less material and so production runs can be achieved at lower cost. Where materials contribute a significant production cost this can be a formidable advantage.
