Gent Machine Company

SWISS CNC MACHINING

Gent Machine has 10 Marubeni Citizen Cincom Swiss CNC machines. We have both A and L series models of 20mm and 32mm diameter machines. Our Swiss CNC Machines are equipped with LNS automatic bar loaders to ensure they operate as efficient as possible. Swiss CNC machines are known throughout the industry, when compared to conventional CNC machines, as a "sliding head stock" machine. This means the bar stock slides in and out and the tools move left and right as the part is made. The machine has a guide bushing which supports the bar within an inch of most tools and then a collet further back to clamp and move the bar through the bushing and machine. The guide bushing layout creates the most rigid method of cutting material while minimizing tool deflection, therefore holding dimensions within tenths of a thousandth of an inch (.0001) and at sizes as small as the eye can see.

Our Citizens computer numerically controlled (CNC) can be used for smaller quantity orders requiring tight tolerances, fine finishes and exotic materials. They are also used to run extremely difficult parts, which require multiple cuts, asymmetrical milling and drilling, off center milling, and many other operations our other equipment could not handle. These machines kept us up to date in the world of high production turning.
