Nexturn Swiss CNC lathes are engineered to maximize accuracy and economy in the production machining of reliable precision parts used in the defense and firearm industry. Nexturn lathes include basic guide-bushing-equipped machines with maximum bar capacities from 12mm to 38mm diameter; removable guide-bushing machines from 20mm to 38mm capacity, and non-guide-bushing machines with 26mm to 51mm bar capacity. In addition, Nexturn provides turret-type non-guide-bushing sliding-headstock machines to process 45mm, 56mm and 67mm diameter bars.
Six different Nexturn swiss lathe series are designed to meet specific production and economic requirements.
Quicktech Milling and Turning Centers are the perfect machine for dropping complex parts complete in one cycle. For example, the popular Quicktech T8 Hybrid is built with 9 total axes, 2 turning spindles, 2 live milling spindles, a B-axis and a minimum capacity of 38 tools. The machine’s main and sub spindles are built with P4 high precision bearings for solid stability and heavy cutting, and are synchronized for fast accurate part transfer. The main spindle’s tooling system features a rigid 12 station BMT-55 live turret with a 5HP spindle motor and 80mm of true linear Y-axis travel. All 12 stations can be live. The sub spindle features a unique 4-axis gang tooling slide system and a rotary 360 degree B-axis. The sub spindle tool post features 5 OD turning tools, 9 ID turning tools, and 12 live tools. Rigid tapping is standard in both the turret and the B-axis.
AccuteX CNC Wire EDM machines come standard with the industry’s best and most reliable Automatic Wire Threader. How can we stake this claim? Because AccuteX’s patented annealing wire threader is proven every day by the best sources … our customers. One gun manufacturer performs over 750 wire threads per day and another manufacturer claims thousands of hours of unattended operations due to the reliability of AccuteX’s patented wire threader.
Seiki vertical mill/drill/tap centers are the fastest CNC milling and tapping centers in their class. These machines will exceed the demands of any manufacturer with high volume, high precision machining needs.
The accuracy and quality achieved with Seiki’s machining centers along with the compact footprint and competitive price make this mill a valuable addition for shops producing firearm components. These mills can be utilized for both complete parts and secondary operations. The intricate milling abilities that Seiki machining centers provide make these mills great for final machining of metal injection molding (MIM) parts. Precise dimensions and tight tolerances have been proven on many applications, including bolt carriers, triggers, hammers, and more.
