Bar Machines
Bar Machines
CNC solutions designed for high-volume, bar-fed production and lights-out efficiency.
Bar machines are designed to manufacture small, complex, and high-precision components directly from bar stock. These advanced CNC systems combine turning, milling, drilling, and tapping operations in one setup, enabling complete part machining and minimal operator involvement. When paired with bar feeders and automation, they deliver continuous, unattended manufacturing for maximum spindle uptime and throughput.
From Swiss-type lathes and mill-turn centers to multi-slide screw machines and multi-spindle automatics, Absolute Machine Tools offers one of the industryโs most comprehensive selections of bar-fed machining solutions. These technologies serve a wide range of applications โ from intricate medical and aerospace parts to automotive, defense, and general precision components โ helping manufacturers achieve higher accuracy, efficiency, and profitability.
