CNC Lathe with Live Tooling The All-in-One Turning and Milling Solution

A CNC lathe with live tooling revolutionizes modern machining by integrating milling, drilling, and tapping capabilities directly into the turning process. Unlike conventional lathes limited to rotational cutting, this advanced system features a powered spindle within the turret, enabling tools to rotate independently while the workpiece remains stationary or indexes precisely via the C-axis. This allows for complex operations—such as milling flats, cutting keyways, drilling off-center holes, or threading perpendicular surfaces—all in a single setup.

Key advantages include:

Complete Machining in One Clamping: Eliminates multiple machine setups, reducing handling errors and improving positional accuracy between features.

Significant time savings and enhanced machining flexibility: suitable for complex components requiring combined machining, such as hydraulic fittings, medical devices, or automotive components.
