CUBIC MACHINERY

CUBIC MACHINERY has put more of its machine videos up on YouTube—the most popular online video website.

The latest video has already garnered 1000 views after being posted for just a month. It is CUBIC’s most popular yet. The video shows CUBIC’s Swiss-type lathe (Diamond 20CSB) cutting a pagoda out of 20mm brass bar stock. The top of the pagoda has an small eyelet for a cell phone strap.

The pagoda’s octagonal shaped base is milled with the cross-working live tools. The drilling and rigid tapping operations in the middle of the video make use of the lathe’s spindle indexing capability. C-axis contouring capability is used to engrave CUBIC’s logo on the bottom face of the part.

Diamond 20CSB’s sliding headstock allows part turning and threading to take place close to the guide bushing for maximum rigidity. The enhanced rigidity makes it easy to create high-precision, complex part geometry. The entire part was created complete in one setup. This is the key advantage of Swiss-type lathes making them well suited for unattended production runs.

So perhaps you’ve had this dilemma before. You have a small diameter part that you’d like to cut in a single operation, but you don’t want to shell out the money for a full size Swiss-type machine.

Enter the Diamond 12. The economical Swiss-type lathe. The new Diamond 12 has up to 10 axes, a 13mm (0.51”) turning diameter, and is just 4 feet in length.

Available for order immediately.

Here’s a video showing OD & ID turning, cross drilling, hex milling and threading on a piece of 1.5” bar stock on the new GTV-42.

GTV-42’s larger spindle diameter allows it to work on larger parts than the original GTV, which we now call GTV-27.

We introdcue a new model in ourGTV gang tool lathe line up: GTV-42 has a larger spindle bore that measures 42mm (1.65”). The increased through hole diameter allows the machine to accept larger part diameter fed through automatic bar feeder using 16C collets.

This was from a time study we recently did for a potential customer.
