An example shown of a time relay body is fabricated on the Davenport with the use of a special attachment designed specifically for this application.

Company Profile

Davenport Machine Tool Company was founded in 1894 by Mr. William Simeon Davenport in New Bedford, Mass. Initially producing clock pinion turning machines, the company progressed into the manufacture of intricate multiple spindle automatic bar machines. Mr. Davenport filed Davenport Machine as a corporation in 1919. As the business grew, the company began searching for a more central geographic location between the strong Midwestern and New England markets of the time. Later that year, the company established its new headquarters at its present location in Rochester, New York.

From the beginning, Davenport invention revolutionized screw machine technology. The remarkable 5-spindle Model B became a legend. The respected Davenport name embraces an ever-growing spectrum of finely engineered products and Brinkman International is committed to the industry. Davenport innovation will continue to make history for another 100 years.

Davenport OEM Replacement Parts: Unsurpassed in Quality and Reliability -

When parts break down, machines don't run, and idle machines mean lost profit. As the OEM, Davenport Machine manufactures replacement parts with the highest quality materials that are engineered to the tightest tolerances, allowing parts to fit better, run smoother, and last longer. This means less down time for the customer, and more run time to produce good parts. Innovations such as the 2 Station Servo Driven Back Working Attachment, which eliminates costly secondary operations, and the HP (High Precision) Head, that reduces costly spindle replacement, are a few of the ways Davenport's continued improvement programs are working to improve your efficiency.

Davenport Sees Rebound from Recession -

The recent recession may not be completely over but the economy is definitely picking up. The stock market is recovering, consumer confidence is rising and automobiles are starting to leave the factories again. At Davenport we see many customers who were down thirty, forty and fifty percent in 2009 from 2008 sales levels coming to life in 2010. Across most segments of our business incoming orders are escalating, machines are coming back to life and workers are being added to satisfy the larger demand. Many manufacturing companies are struggling to ramp-up production and Davenport can help.

Davenport Machine Rolls Out BIG Changes for the Davenport HP Machine -

The Davenport HP machine, making its first appearance in 2000 as the Davenport Servo B, is rolling out its 4th major product enhancement to meet the evolving demands in high-speed machining. In this latest upgrade, Davenport Machine focused on the Davenport HP machine’s usability and maintenance.

User Enhancements
For easier interaction, the Man-Machine-Interface (MMI) has been mounted on a waist-high pendant system that allows the operator to use the interface at the front, end or back of the machine. The newly upgraded sound enclosure has more windows to increase visibility of the machine while it is running. All lube and air gauges are now located outside of the machine enclosure to increase visibility when monitoring these systems. The controls for the machine have been mounted to the side allowing for the ability to be moved as one unit, thus reducing the amount of time required to power up the machine once its been moved.

Maintenance and Safety Enhancements
When it comes to machine maintenance and safety, the Davenport HP has never been more efficient. All controls and pumps have been moved off the floor. The coolant pump, mounted to the machine pan, is tucked under the stock reel cover to enable storage of stock. The lube pumps are now located at a more serviceable height for easier filling and maintenance. A drip pan has been added below the pumps to catch any spills while filling the tanks.

Emergency stops are now located at multiple locations around the machine to assist the operators, maintenance, and set up personnel in removing output power (both electrical and pneumatic) while working on the machine. The pneumatics package has been updated to include improved filtering and control through individually adjustable regulated valves. Improved coolant filtering reduces the cleaning frequency of the filter screens.

Davenport Machine manufactures the Davenport HP and Model B multi-spindle screw machines, custom application attachments for Davenport Machines, and provides training and technical services to customers for increased productivity.

Moving Up to CNC for Smaller Lot Sizes
This small shop has a large presence. CNC is playing a significant role in the company’s ability to deliver parts for the big stage.

Manufacturer Stays True to 106-Year-Old Niche
Finding a niche and sticking to it sounds like common sense. Sometimes, however, companies get distracted, even bored, with a niche. That’s never been a problem for the Fischer family.

High Precision Head as a Replacement Part
The company’s high precision (HP) head is now available for purchase as a replacement part.

New Features For Multi-Spindle Machine
Davenport Machine offers new features for its HP machine. The controls package has moved to a more ergonomic position and comes prewired to the machine. The coolant pump is located off the floor, multiple emergency stops were added and an additional viewing window is now in place.

Multi-Spindle Machine Undergoes Changes
The Davenport HP multi-spindle machine rolls out its fourth major product enhancement to meet the evolving demands in high-speed machining. For easier interaction, the Man-Machine-Interface (MMI) has been mounted on a waist-high pendant system that allows the operator to use the interface at the front, end or back of the machine. The upgraded sound enclosure has more windows to increase visibility of the machine while it is running.

High-Precision Orientation Attachment For Davenports
Davenport's High-Precision Orientation (HPO) attachment has the flexibility to eliminate the need for two of the most commonly used attachments: the 1380-SA Revinloc attachment and MBSL-200-SA 1800 spindle locating attachment (also the MB-2-SL-SA, 360-degree locator). This orientation optional attachment can be used in either the third or fourth position individually or both positions simultaneously. The HPO can be used to produce slots or flats on a part at 90 degrees apart (four tooth), 120 degrees apart (six tooth) and 45 degrees apart (eight tooth).

Five-Spindle Automatic Screw Machine
Davenport's High-Precision (HP) Machine comes fully loaded with a PLC for reduced setup times and a high-precision head as standard equipment. The HP head design has stiffened the machine revolving spindles by replacing bronze or needle bearings with ABEC 9 angular radial bearings. This improvement delivers spindle runout consistently less than 0.

Attachments For Multi-Spindle Machines
- World of Attachments catalog pictures some of the popular attachments for the Davenport Model B and Servo B machines- Servo threading, servo pickoff and backworking and bent shank tapping attachments are highlighted in this catalog- These attachments increase the flexibility and variety of parts that can be run on the Davenport machine.

Quick-Change Tool Spindle Box
The quick-change tool spindle front box from Davenport Machine was developed in conjunction with Davenport customers to cut hours off of every setup requiring a tool spindle change. The quick-change box allows the steel outer housing to be aligned and installed once, and interchangeable bronze liners can then be swapped in less than a minute. Changing from a stationary spindle to a revolving spindle or to a broaching spindle can be done without disturbing the spindle alignment.

Competing On A Multi-Spindle
For many high-volume applications, multi-spindle automatics are the right technology for production machining. Increasingly, that production efficiency has been pressured by changes in the needs of shops in the form of shorter run jobs and higher tolerances. This article looks at some of the steps one OEM has taken to address quick change-over issues on its multi-spindle machines and their tooling.

Coated Heads Show Zero Wear
The New Davenport coated head shows zero wear after producing one million parts in a test run on a customer's machines, the company says. Now, the same extended wear life found on the HP revolving head is available on standard 8-SA heads with standard spindles. Using a metallic hard-coating material on the bearing diameter bands, the 8-SA head has less friction and less wear.

Pipe Fittings Produced In A Single Operation
As with many manufacturers today, streamlining production to stay competitive in the global market has become increasingly important at this company. Thatýs why it sought out a machine to produce a double-ended pipe fitting in a single operation as opposed to having to do the back-tapping in an entire second operation.
