Orscheln's Screw Machine Division Installs Two New CNC Lathes
Orscheln's Screw Machine Division (formerly known as Qualico Precision Products), Moberly, Missouri has recently installed two new CNC lathes.
This Orscheln location offers screw machine products, plating and coatings and is a QS9000 registered company.
The two new lathes, EmcoTurn 420MC plus models, feature two spindles with two sub-spindles and auto bar-feeders.
"These lathes represent the newest technology available," stated Orscheln's Plant Superintendent Daryl Duchesne. "They will replace several manual screw machines as well as secondary equipment since they produce finished parts. This will improve our efficiency and help lower our costs, especially on machining-intensive parts."
The company has 35 other screw machines (single and multispindle) and various secondary equipment. It specializes in high volume, long run, precision screw machine components, but is capable of low volume orders as well.
The screw machine operation works with steel, brass, aluminum, copper, stainless steel and plastics up to 1.25" diameter in round, hex, tube and square stock.
