Spex produces complex turned parts up to 2-5/8" diameter using Davenport multi-spindle automatic screw machines. Our multi-spindle capabilities enable simultaneous operations on 5 spindles, reducing cycle times by 80% compared to single-spindle turning. The multi-spindle department maintains tolerances to ±0.005" while achieving production rates up to 400 pieces per hour. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified machine shop specializes in high-volume production runs exceeding 10,000 pieces.
Multi-spindle machines perform 5 simultaneous operations per cycle, and index workpieces through 5 positions, completing turning, drilling, threading, and forming operations in a single cycle. Each spindle position contains dedicated tooling optimized for specific operations, eliminating setup changes between features. This parallel processing delivers finished parts at rates up to 400 pieces per hour.
Multi-spindle machining produces high-volume precision components where production efficiency drives cost reduction. The process completes complex features in single cycles, achieving tight tolerances on turned diameters, threads, cross-holes, and formed features. Parts combining multiple operations benefit from the parallel processing capabilities of 5-spindle production.
Industrial Pump & Hydraulic Systems
Pump systems require high-volume precision components machined from carbon and stainless steels. Multi-spindle machines produce shaft components, housings, and hydraulic fittings with tolerances to ±0.0005" for proper system operation.
Power & Electrical
Power distribution systems use brass and aluminum components produced at high volumes. Multi-spindle machining creates terminal connectors, bushings, and fasteners combining turned features with cross-holes and threads. Production rates of 400 parts per hour reduce component costs.
Agricultural & Heavy Equipment
Agricultural equipment relies on robust steel and stainless steel components produced in large quantities. Multi-spindle operations manufacture pins, bushings, and hydraulic fittings with formed features and precise thread specifications for reliable field performance.
Our quality control team inspects parts throughout the production process to ensure they meet customer specifications. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system maintains consistent standards from first article to production runs. Documentation includes material traceability, inspection reports, and First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR) based on customer requirements.
