A unique machine in this family of high-efficiency turning machines is the CTR center drive lathe. Parts are gripped in the middle while complex machining is performed on both ends at the same time. No re-gripping or relocating of the part allows the highest specifications to be met. The result is dead true tolerances, held end-to-end, unmatched by any other configuration of turning center. 

For those operations that require parts with complex machining on both ends, the opposed twin spindle SS model is the right choice. While it's machining the back end of one part, at the same time it can machine the front end of the next part for maximum productivity. When combined with a Bardons & Oliver handling system, any length finished workpiece can be produced. 

For parts that require complex machining on the leading end of the workpiece and only OD operations on the second end, there's the single spindle big bore BB model. This machine is ideal for parts such as welded construction hydraulic cylinder tubes and rods. Finished components ready for assembly are produced in one operation. 

Precision Cut Blanks – Lathe Tolerances From a Rotary Head Cutoff The RH-700HP is capable of producing finished workpieces in a strict Cpk environment requiring a length tolerance down to +/-0.005”. The raw material loss of a sawed blank when compared to a precision blank from our rotary head machine, the RH-700HP can amount to thousands of dollars per year. Length tolerance control and parallelism means less material lost during downstream finishing operations.

When your operation requires cutoff AND end finishing including chamfering and counterboring (both the I.D and O.D simultaneously), bevels, O.D. steps or shoulders and more, you need the NEXT generation Bardons & Oliver RH-Series Rotating Head Cutoff Machine

Seven different models of our rotary head cutoff machine allow for the processing of material with maximum outside diameters ranging from 5" up to 16", utilizing quick set-up with programmable size changeover.
