CNC Multi-Spindle Machining
Speed and accuracy on a vast range of parts
Speed and accuracy on a vast range of parts
CNC multi-spindle machining is the most cost-effective process for high-volume precision turned components. Rather than machining one part per cycle, multi-spindle machines operate on multiple workpieces simultaneously, significantly reducing cycle time and cost per part without compromising dimensional accuracy or surface finish.
Turnspeed's multi-spindle machining capability is among the most extensive available from any UK sub-contract precision machining supplier. With 25 years of multi-spindle experience and a broad suite of machines spanning a wide range of bar diameters and part types, we deliver high-volume turned components at a cost per part that sliding-head and fixed-head alternatives simply cannot match, typically for batch sizes of 1,000 parts or more.
Our CNC-controlled multi-spindle lathes feature Y-axis movement and driven milling capabilities, meaning turned components that also require milled features can be completed in a single operation. This reduces handling, shortens lead times, and keeps cost per part competitive.

Turnspeed operates 10 Index Six Spindle machines, state-of-the-art spindle lathes with innovative rear-end machining for the latest high-volume production requirements:
We also operate an Index MS22 8-spindle machine: a 22mm model with twin pickoff that, with two additional spindles over a standard twin-spindle machine, can achieve cycle time reductions of up to 50% on suitable components.
The Tornos CAM MultiSwiss 6x16 is among the fastest and most precise machines available today for small-part manufacture, producing parts as small as 4mm at high volume.
2 x Index MS52 Machines at 52mm bar capacity
2 x Index MS40 Machines at 40mm bar capacity
6 x Index MS32 Machines at 32mm bar capacity
Turnspeed also operates three Pfiffner Hydromat rotary transfer machines, a capability that is genuinely uncommon within UK sub-contract precision machining. Hydromat technology combines hydraulically controlled rotary transfer with CNC precision, making it highly effective for complex, high-volume components that would otherwise require multiple setups with conventional turning or multi-spindle approaches.
Our Hydromat capacity consists of one 12-station machine and two 16-station machines, all capable of producing unique high-volume parts depending on order requirements.
