Machines engineered specifically to perform skiving and roller burnishing operations deliver precise roundness tolerances and quality surface finishes.

The S-series machines are designed to use…

…combination skiving/roller burnishing tools to produce geometrically round holes with quality surface finishes for hydraulic cylinders.

Roller burnishing creates a mirror-like surface finish as smooth as Ra 0.05 micron.

Reinvestment in automation has spurred KCS Advanced Machining Service’s growth from prototyping to low-and mid-volume parts. The key to its success? A young staff of talented programmers.

The C 1100H is a heavy-duty flatbed lathe built with a monoblock cast iron bed that absorbs machining efforts and vibration, making it highly rigid, stable and accurate.

Explore five crucial ways equipping 5-axis CNC machines with Air Turbine Spindles® can achieve the speeds necessary to overcome manufacturing challenges.

AMPG can’t help but take risks — its management doesn’t know how to run machines. But these risks have enabled it to become a runaway success in its market.

The Modern Machine Shop editorial team highlights their takeaways from IMTS 2024 in a video recap.

Job shops are implementing automation and digitalization into workflows to eliminate set up time and increase repeatability in production.

Lee Wimmer invited us to tour his second-generation family-owned machine shop in Perkasie, PA. This video explores the production processes behind precision-machined parts for both Wimmer Custom Cycle and LS Wimmer Machine Co., and shows how ingenuity and determination are still at the heart of American manufacturing. Today, both companies are now managed by Wimmer’s three sons.
