Swiss & conventional CNC turning — round parts, repeatable.
Round parts from .020" ID to 12" OD. Swiss turning for high-volume, tight-tolerance components. Conventional turning with sub-spindle and live tooling for done-in-one production. AS9100D + ITAR. Quote in 24 hours — every turned part tracked end-to-end in K+G Ai ERP.
Swiss for the tight, conventional for the heavy.
Material, diameter range, and tolerance drive the machine choice. Swiss for small-diameter precision parts at production volumes. Conventional turning with sub-spindle pickup for larger work that needs both ends finished in one cycle.
Swiss-type turning
CNC Swiss lathes with bar feeders for diameters from .020" to 1.25". Sliding-headstock design eliminates deflection on long, thin work — common for medical instruments, connectors, hydraulic spool valves. Sub-spindle handoffs for done-in-one cycle times.
Conventional turning
Sub-spindle lathes with live tooling (Y-axis, C-axis) for parts up to 12" diameter. Pick-off + back-turning + cross-drilling in one chuck cycle — no second op. Bar work or chucker style depending on geometry.
Production runs
1 piece to 50,000-piece releases on the same equipment. Setup once, run the lot. The platform's scheduler factors bar consumption, tool life, and inspection cadence so multi-day runs land on the promised ship date.

CNC turning questions, answered.
What's the maximum bar diameter you can turn?
Up to 3.5″ bar through the multi-axis turn-mill centers. Larger work runs on chuck setups with custom fixturing — quoted to print.
Can K+G turn parts complete in one setup?
Yes — done-in-one is the design point. Live tooling, Y-axis, and sub-spindle let us mill, drill, thread, and cross-bore on the lathe. Production parts come off the machine finished, not staged for a second op.
What tolerances do you hold on turned parts?
±0.0005″ standard on diameters and lengths. Repeatable ±0.0002″ on tight callouts. Surface finish to 16 µin Ra without secondary.
What materials work best on multi-axis turning?
Free-machining steels, 303 / 304 / 316 / 17-4 PH stainless, 6061 / 7075 aluminum, brass, Inconel for high-temp, Ti-6Al-4V for aerospace. Engineering plastics too.
