CNC Ball joint turning machine
Special purpose machines produced by TOS KUŘIM are designed mainly for the automotive industry. TOS ball turning machines are delivered as part of production lines for the manufacture of ball joints in several dimensions. These lines also feature a system of inter-station transport of workpieces between individual machines, including containers for semi-finished products.
The greatest benefits of TOS ball turning machines are the speed and precision of machining. Another great advantage is their flexibility. The machine as well as the workpiece handling and transport systems can be easily and quickly adjusted for machining another ball joint. This special lathe can also be used for turning other shaft components.
