Machining Capabilities


Multi-spindle Precision Turning
This process uses cam-automatic technology and is best suited for components requiring high-volume production with close tolerances. Suitable for parts with OD tolerances down to 15 microns, ID tolerances down to 12 microns and flatness requirements to 10 microns. Equipment capability in place for diameters up to 25 mm and lengths up to 80 mm.
Equipment List


Single-spindle Swiss-type Precision Turning
This process is appropriate for parts with long length-to-diameter ratios (3:1 to 25:1). Uses both cam and CNC technology. Cam machines up to 7 mm diameter. CNC machines up to 20 mm diameter. Capable of tolerances below 10 microns on diameters.
Equipment List


CNC Multi-axis Turning
This process is best suited for components with complex ID and OD features -- particularly parts with several critical features related to each other. Bar capacities up to 50 mm diameter. Tolerances typically 15-25 microns, but capable of tolerances of 5 microns in some applications.
Equipment List


Ultra-precision Turning
This process is excellent for finish machining on parts with size, flatness, and roundness requirements below 5 microns. Capable of tolerances of 1 micron in some applications. Also, submicron surface finishes in some materials.
Equipment List


CNC Multi-axis Milling
This process is used for repetitively-manufactured prismatic components requiring multi-plane machining. Parts range in size from 12 to 300 mm with feature tolerances down to 13 microns.
Equipment List


CNC Infeed Centerless Grinding
This process is best suited for high-volume components with complex OD features and difficult-to-machine materials. Equipment capability in place for lengths up to 150 mm and diameters up to 50 mm. Capable of tolerances of 15 microns on diameters and lengths, and roundness below 3 microns.
Equipment List


CNC Throughfeed Centerless Grinding
This process is typically used to achieve fine finish and close OD tolerances with an appropriate length-to-diameter ratio. Capable of holding OD size to less than 5 microns, roundness below 2 microns, and very fine surface finishes.
Equipment List

Secondary Precision Machining
These processes are best suited for high-volume applications requiring complex hole configurations or unique OD and ID configurations. Machining can include drilling, milling, broaching, surface grinding, coining, hard turning, honing, burnishing, gun drilling, and ballizing.
Equipment List


Multi-discipline Manufacturing
This comprehensive approach allows Autocam to improve customers' supply chain costs by combining manufacturing, assembly, testing, packaging, and logistics.
Equipment List


Finishing and Special Material Capabilities
These secondary processes include deburring, surface finish cosmetics, extrude honing, marking, and ultrasonic cleaning. In addition to conventional materials, Autocam has the capability to machine ultrasonic and implant-grade titanium, specialty medical-grade stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, and other specialty alloys.
