Machining center with unique turn-face headstock. The ORBITEC 20 offers a groundbreaking approach to creating turned machining features on large, odd shaped parts, which are not conducive to normal turning operations. Large valves which require turning, threading, and tapered boring are ideal components to be processed on the ORBITEC 20. The headstock generates turned features on large parts by keeping them clamped and stationary, moving only the cutting tool. As an internally counter balanced system, the ORBITEC 20’s headstock keeps tool tips facing either toward or away from the centerline of rotation while tools orbit around workpieces. This provides stable precision machining and less part interference because tools do not protrude beyond the rotating headstock when working on larger diameters. The unique system combines a circle-within-a-circle design with linearly interpolated X-axis tool movement, as opposed to a linear slide.
