Brass Fittings

This Kaufman CNC Model KMC-1124 Reaming and Single Point Threading Machine included eight two-jaw self-centering chuck assemblies positioned on four locations around the dial plate. Each of the three machining units featured dual heavy duty block type boring spindles mounted to independent rectangular hardened way-type slide assemblies and vertical columns.

The machine processed a variety of cast brass components in cycle times ranging from 12 to 14 seconds at two parts per cycle. The machine performed precision boring and single point threading operations utilizing CNC drawbar-actuated feed-out heads. The machine featured Kaufman’s PC based CNC system controlling both hydraulic servo and ball screw type units.
