Sliding Head Turning

At Eaton Socon Engineering, our sliding head turning department is specifically engineered for the high-volume production of small, intricate components. By utilizing synchronized multi-axis technology, we eliminate the risk of deflection, ensuring that even the most slender and complex parts are manufactured with total geometric stability and exceptional surface finishes.

​

Our sliding head facilities are optimized for precision work, specializing in diameters ranging from 0.5mm to 32mm. Equipped with sub-spindles and live tooling, these machines allow for "one-hit" machining of complex parts—incorporating milling, cross-drilling, and tapping in a single cycle. This streamlined approach guarantees that your high-precision fasteners, pins, and medical-grade components are delivered with zero defects and maximum cost-efficiency.
