Machine Turning
C-Axis offers advanced machine turning capabilities to produce precise, round, and highly detailed components for implantable, surgical, and minimally invasive medical devices. Our CNC turning centers deliver exceptional accuracy, concentricity, and surface finish, making them ideal for cylindrical features, shafts, housings, and small complex parts. From quick-turn prototypes to validated production, our turning operations ensure reliable consistency at every stage.
Our machine turning processes are designed for efficiency, repeatability, and tight-tolerance performance. With multi-axis CNC lathes, high-speed spindles, and expertly optimized tooling strategies, we produce components with excellent roundness, straightness, and dimensional stability. Supported by robust quality systems and advanced inspection technologies, C-Axis delivers turned components that meet demanding medical device requirements with confidence.

We look at C-Axis 360 as an opportunity for our customers to save weeks of development time by having their project team come into our facility. Here they are assigned a C-Axis team (an Engineer, Technician, and Machinist) to work with to complete multiple iterations in one sitting, helping to improve the R&D timeline. Instead of doing things in series, our customers can do multiple potential design iterations in parallel and save six or seven weeks in their NPD cycles. — Olson
