At the Liberty Research Co., Inc. our  “State of the Art” European Mutli-spindle lathes outperform standard lathes in every respect.
 

RPM’s - Our spindles are modern sealed designs, which can operate at 300% faster  RPM’s, allowing Liberty to produce your part faster!

Hirth Ring Index – All of our lathes are equipped with this geared location mechanism which enhances accuracy by twenty fold.

Compound Slides – We can single point complex features such as lead screws or threads. 

Faster Idle Time – Less non-cutting time means more parts per hour!

Isolated Independent Cams – Each cutting tool is cammed at its optimum feed rate.   All cams are separated form the chip area to prevent random chips on the cams.

Micrometer Adjustments – All tools are more easily changed and thus more accurate parts are produced with less down time.

Servodrives – All of our lathes use servodrives to eliminate clutch slipping and the wearing of mechanical drive components.

Synchronous Drives – As our lathes are 100% Synchronous we can use advanced attachments to eliminate secondary operations.  These include polygon forming, thread milling, off center rotating drilling, back drilling and tapping, etc.

As a result of the above technology our lathes typically are producing components 24 hours a day at efficiency rates of 90% or better.
