CNC short turning - reliable, economical and highly precise
We are a manufacturer of short-run turned parts and produce them using CNC turning from raw material with precisely defined form and position tolerances. Our CNC short-run turning process handles workpieces made from bar stock up to Ø 65 mm and lengths up to 400 mm, as well as inserts (blanks) up to Ø 200 mm. We guarantee consistent precision and high surface quality. Short-run turning is particularly suitable for precision turned parts with larger diameters, short overall lengths, complex contours, and high dimensional accuracy requirements.
Precision turning enables the cost-effective production of rotationally symmetric components with complex internal and external contours. Thanks to highly dynamic axis drives, multi-channel controls, and automated tool changes, even complex geometries with surface roughnesses down to Ra 0.8 µm and tolerances up to ± 0.01 mm can be produced using short-run turning—economically, reproducibly, and with process reliability for any production volume.
As a manufacturer of precision short-turn parts, we combine CNC precision turning with automated feeding, integrated secondary machining, and controlled manufacturing processes.

Experience, automation, quality in CNC short turning
With state-of-the-art machinery and intelligent process controls, we achieve consistent precision in short-run turning. Automated short-run turning production combines short cycle times with high repeatability. Each batch is inspected inline, with measurement systems capturing dimensional, geometric, and surface data in real time. This combination of automation and measurement-based feedback ensures dimensionally accurate series production with documented process reliability. For developers, procurement professionals, and quality managers, CNC short-turning production thus creates a solid foundation for technically demanding series projects.

Our technology - highly automated short turning production
Our manufacturing environment is designed for maximum efficiency and precision.
CNC short-turn centers with hydrostatic guides, powered tools, and integrated measurement technology enable fully automated production of turned parts.
Using CAD/CAM systems such as Inventor or Esprit, geometries are programmed directly from 3D models for short-run turning. This ensures short setup times, rapid adjustments in response to design changes, and end-to-end traceability. Predictive maintenance analyses and closed-loop corrections ensure consistent quality even for large production runs.
