PLAM
Precision Turning

CNC and Swiss turning, Ø0.3–50 mm.

Multi-axis Swiss sliding-headstock lathes and CNC turning centers in aluminum, stainless, brass, carbon steel, and engineered polymers — to ±0.005 mm external diameter.

Live PLAM CNC turning operation on a precision metal workpiece

Axle shafts and Swiss-type sleeves.

Live-tooling sub-spindles handle threading, slotting, and cylindrical contours in a single setup — no second-op transfers, no fixturing errors.

Material Versatility

Active Material Grades

Turn key raw metals or engineered thermoplastics. We stock certified bar feeds in aircraft aluminum, surgical stainless steels, POM/Delrin, and high-temp PEEK resins.

High aspect ratio

Long-shaft turning

Hydraulic tailstocks suppress chatter on shafts up to 2,000 mm long, holding Ra 0.4 µm ground finishes.
