Utilizing CNC Machining Centers for Custom Precision Machining

The mathematic accuracy and high efficiency needed for manufacturing quality parts is successfully guided in part by computer numerical control (CNC) machines. CNC machines play a critical role in creating precision machined parts for any project, big or small. If you’re in need of high tolerance production for complex parts, Bowman Tool & Machining can meet your project demands with our comprehensive precision machining.

 At BTM, we utilize CNC programs with a range of equipment, including our vertical and horizontal machining centers, lathes, and mills ranging from 400mm to 1000mm. With a total of 54 different CNC machine tools, BTM has the capabilities to manufacture a wide variety of parts for your project.

 A significant component of our CNC machining capabilities are our vertical and horizontal machining centers and our vertical and horizontal lathes, which allow machining at virtually all angles around the axis of a part.

Vertical

The vertical machining equipment at BTM that utilizes CNC programs for ultra-precise production include our five vertical machining centers and our three vertical lathes.

Our CNC vertical machining centers offer the usage of 20 tools for a range of cuts and a maximum travel range of  40” on the x-axis, 20” on the y-axis, and 25” on the z-axis.

Our CNC vertical lathes offer the usage of 12 tools for a range of turning applications, a maximum swing of 28”, and a maximum length of 29”.

With mathematically-precise, computer-controlled tooling action, our vertical CNC machining equipment offers comprehensive cutting, slotting, hole-making, and detailing on a wide range of parts.

Horizontal

BTM offers over 40 horizontally-oriented machining options with up to 160 tools within a single twin pallet center.

Our CNC horizontal machining centers are capable of work up to 2000mm (80”) in size and offer a maximum travel to 66.93” along the x-axis, maximum travel to 55.12” along the y-axis, and maximum travel to 60.04” along the z-axis.

Our CNC horizontal lathes offer up to 12 tools per turret with a maximum swing of 28” and a maximum length of 36”. Both 2-axis and 4-axis horizontal lathes are available, as well as two multi-spindle machining centers with live tooling.

Every axis of a part is machinable with our range of computer-controlled equipment. Vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers and lathes get the job done with our experienced engineers and technicians managing equipment and projects.
