Sliding Head Mill-Turning
We have 3 sliding head lathes here at Prototype Productions.
The first being purchased in 2014; with the more recent one being purchased in 2021. These machines can reduce our cycle times drastically, as well as produce components to the highest quality.
Our Sliders are extremely Rigid, versatile, and accurate. Holding tolerances to a matter of microns.
Our sliding head lathes can machine up to 35mm diameter; using a range of fixed and live tooling gives us the capabilities to produce simple parts in huge quantities, as well as much more intricate components.
On our sliding heads we can and have machined components smaller than 1mm in diameter.
