Turn-Mill Center Aids Shop through Recession
Bryan Cardon chose multitasking as the solution to improve his shop’s workflow. He reduced cycle times and leadtimes for his customers in his Ogden, Utah, machine shop after implementing the Ganesh 32CS seven-axis, twin spindle, turn-mill center. The company also gained new customers and jobs because of this new machine and its capabilities.
A Look at High Precision
Here's an overview of the new features available on a series of multi-process machining centers designed for both bar-fed work and blanks.
Custom Turning with Only Two Operators

The Evolution of the Y Axis on Turn-Mill Machines
Introduced to the turn-mill machine tool design in about 1996, the Y axis was first used on a single-spindle, mill-turn lathe with a subspindle. The idea of a Y axis on a CNC originated from the quality limitation of polar interpolation and the difficulty in programming, not from electronic advances in controls or servomotor technology as one might commonly think.
Turn-Mill Classics
Here are trailers for some of the classic articles on turn-mill multitasking. This is a broad showing of turn-mill technology in the form of machines, processes, programming and applications.
Why a Y Axis?
As machine tool capabilities have advanced, many builders are offering Y-axis capabilities to turning centers and multitasking machines.
CAM Software Considerations for Bar-Fed Mills
Time will tell, but increasingly, there is evidence that points to the fact that bar-fed mills could well represent the future of complex, small parts manufacturing.
