Sliding Head Machining

NC Precision is one of the UK’s leading CNC Sliding Head machining companies. Sticking to our roots by using Cincom controlled Citizen CNC Sliding Head technology we have built up an excellent reputation for the manufacture and supply of the highest quality turned parts.

We have made substantial investment in our people, equipment, systems and technology. Our Citizen machines offer a single set-up solution to even the most complex parts which helps reduce cost and improve production times.

These machines are able to perform simultaneous multi-task processing e.g. Turning, Drilling, Boring, Screw-Cutting, Grooving, Milling, Broaching, Cross Drilling and Tapping. All of our machines are fitted with IEMCA magazine bar feeds which facilitates non-stop production.

Sliding head turning enables the machining of the secondary process on the rear spindle whilst the next component is being made on the main spindle. This can often result in cycle times being half of what they would have been on a traditional fixed head CNC machine.
