CNC Turning Complete machining
in a single setup

For us, rotational symmetry doesn’t mean simplicity: Modern turned parts feature milled contours, cross holes, and threads—and still need to be manufactured cost-effectively. That’s what our turning process is all about: The main and counter spindles, driven tools, and Y-axis perform turning and milling operations in a single setup. The part leaves the machine fully finished—without re-clamping and without a growing chain of tolerances.

Why End-to-End Processing Matters

Every setup costs twice: production time and component precision. With a counter-spindle and Y-axis, both are eliminated—the back side is automatically indexed and finished, and milling operations are performed within the same program. For you, this means: short turnaround times, consistent dimensions, and a price that remains competitive even for complex turned parts. The bar feeder can be used to achieve low-labor series production upon request—even overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum diameter that RK-tec can machine?

Up to Ø 200 mm – with a main spindle and counter spindle for complete machining of both sides in a single setup.

Can turned parts also have milled contours and cross holes?

Yes—powered tools and the Y-axis perform milling and drilling operations directly on the lathe. The part comes off the machine fully finished, without the need for a second setup on a milling center.

Is CNC turning at RK-tec worth it even for single parts?

Yes. Custom parts and replacement parts based on drawings are part of our daily routine—CAD/CAM programming directly implements your data, which makes even single-unit production cost-effective.

How does RK-tec produce turned parts in series cost-effectively?

About the bar feeder: The machine feeds the material automatically and ejects finished parts on its own—minimal-labor production, even outside of shift hours.

What materials are turned?

Aluminum, steel, stainless steel, tool steel, and special-purpose steel, as well as plastics. For specialty materials, just ask—we’ll give you an honest answer about what’s possible.
