Screw machine products and turned parts are made on automated lathes which can quickly mass-produce parts from bars of raw stock. A screw machine uses cutting methods similar to that of a lathe but is highly automated. Screw machine products and turned parts are typically used to produce mid to high-volume, low-cost parts. The traditional screw machine automatically turns/faces the part, cuts it off, and advances the rod for the next part.
Screw machine products are used in various industries and products from computers and military communications to automotive and medical devices. Screw machine products and turned parts can be manufactured from aluminum, tool steel, stainless steel, titanium, brass, bronze, and plastic.
