Why CNC Sliding Head Machines Are Perfect for Producing Complex, High-Tolerance Parts

When it comes to creating intricate, high-precision parts, CNC sliding head machines are a game-changer. Whether you’re working in aerospace, medical, or any other industry that relies on detailed, tight-tolerance components, having the right equipment makes all the difference. Here at Bon Precision Engineering, we use a mix of Star and Citizen sliding head machines to ensure we can handle even the most complex jobs with ease.

What Makes Sliding Head Machines So Special?

Unlike traditional lathes, CNC sliding head machines allow the material to move through the machine while being worked on. This makes them perfect for smaller components where precision is key. Our machines can handle components up to 20mm in diameter, and the sliding head feature ensures exceptional accuracy, no matter how detailed the design.

Ideal for Tricky, High-Tolerance Parts

Sliding head machines are fantastic at producing complex parts that need to meet really tight specifications. Whether it’s tiny medical components or high-performance parts for the automotive sector, the ability to do everything in one smooth operation is a huge plus. It cuts down on setup time and reduces the need for extra steps, which means faster turnaround times, lower costs, and a reduced chance of errors.

At Bon Precision Engineering, we use our sliding head machines to make sure your components are manufactured with the highest precision, from start to finish.

A Wide Range of Materials

We know that different jobs require different materials, and that’s why we’re equipped to work with a variety of them. Whether you need Stainless Steel 303 or 316 for its corrosion resistance and durability, mild steel for strength, or lightweight aluminium, we’ve got you covered. We also work with brass, and for those who need parts made from plastics, we offer machining for acetal and nylon too. Whatever your material of choice, our team ensures a smooth, high-quality finish every time.
