CNC Machine Tools Built In Our Own Plant

Five families of metal-cutting machines, from a 630 mm manual lathe to an 8.5 m gantry centre. Every one is cast, scraped, assembled and laser-measured on our site in Suzhou, so one contract can equip a whole workshop.

Family 01

Lathes

Turning covers the widest span of anything we build: instrument parts on a gang-tool machine at one end, 2.5 m flanges on a double-column vertical at the other. Bed type, chuck and turret are chosen from the part rather than from a standard package.

Choosing A Machine

Send The Part, Not The Model Number

Four details settle which family fits and which model inside it: the largest dimensions and the material, the tightest tolerance on the drawing, the parts per year, and where the machine is going. With those in the first email you get a model and a price band back, usually within a working day.

  1. Count the faces

    Machined from one side, a vertical centre is cheaper and easier to load. Three or four faces in one clamping, and a horizontal with a pallet changer pays for itself in setup time.

  2. Weigh the cut

    Heavy roughing and interrupted cuts in cast iron want box ways for the damping. High-speed contouring in aluminium wants linear guides for the acceleration. Both are built here.

  3. Size the table for the fixture

    Allow for workholding, not just the part, and check the Z travel clears the longest tool at the part’s tallest point. Table load rating matters as much as table size.

  4. Say where it is going

    Voltage, frequency, certification and crating all follow from the destination, and each of them affects the delivered price. Shipping and voltage detail.

No minimum order. Single machines make up most of what we ship, and they are quoted on the same basis as a multi-machine contract.

Buying FAQs

Choosing From The Range, Answered

Can one supplier really equip a whole workshop?

That is the point of building five families on one site: lathes, machining centres, drilling, boring and grinding machines, from a 630 mm manual lathe to an 8.5 m gantry centre. One contract means one acceptance standard, one spare-parts channel and one engineer to call, instead of five suppliers pointing at each other when something drifts.

How do I shortlist from five machine families?

Start from the part, not the catalogue. Four details settle it: the largest dimensions and material, the tightest tolerance on the drawing, the parts per year, and where the machine is going. Send those in the first email and you get a model and a price band back, usually within a working day.

Are all five families tested to the same standard before shipping?

Yes. Every machine, whichever family it comes from, is laser-measured to ISO 230-2 over its full travels, cuts a test piece, and ships with a serial-numbered report carrying the measured values. If a machine misses on any line it goes back into the shop until it passes.

What if my part sits between two families — say turning plus milling?

That boundary is exactly what the Y-axis turn-mill centres exist for: a power turret and C axis finish turned, milled, drilled and tapped features in one clamping. Where the volumes justify separate machines instead, we will say so — a lathe plus a vertical centre is often cheaper than one combined machine standing idle half the day.

Do you keep machines in stock or is everything built to order?

Standard configurations are usually in stock for fast delivery, and customised configurations are built to order with a confirmed lead time — typically 30 to 60 days for standard builds. The confirmed date goes into the contract rather than being left as an estimate.
