Two Machine Setups Required for a Single Component?

The Problem: Secondary Setups Causing Runout & Handling Queues

When components require machining on both front and rear faces (such as electric motor rotors, pulleys, or gear blanks), traditional manufacturing transfers parts to a second CNC lathe for back-turning. This second setup requires manual reclamping, doubles machine labor, creates intermediate inventory buffers, and introduces concentricity errors.

Application-Focused Tooling Architecture

Q Tech Products designs specialized back-turning and under-shoulder cutting tools. These tools reach behind the component shoulder during the primary clamping cycle, executing reverse turning and back-facing operations in the same setup.

Srimukha Precision Products - Rotor Machining

Machining electric motor rotors required 2 separate lathes. Q Tech engineered a custom back-turning tool completing both front and rear operations in a single setup, eliminating the second machine entirely and ensuring concentricity < 0.005 mm.
