The European automatic turning industry is undergoing significant changes and companies today are facing major technological and economic challenges driven by several factors:
- The redefinition of workers’ expectations and skills
- The introduction of new lead-free materials as part of the European Union’s Green Deal
- Increasing attention to energy consumption, promoted by Industry 5.0
- The reduction of individual production batches due to new production systems
- Competitive pressure from regions with significantly lower labor costs
This is where Autor comes in, with a highly specialized in-house technical department that researches, designs, develops and creates solutions from scratch.
Autor’s strength in multispindle automatic lathes: innovation and development
Autor boasts advanced know-how, the result of over 45 years of experience in designing multispindle automatic lathes.
Starting from market demands and clients’ specific requests, Autor develops highly innovative solutions—both mechanical and CNC—that involve not only the machines themselves but also the dedicated accessories.
Whether yours is single-product company or a contract manufacturer with specific requirements for complex parts, Autor is the right partner to:
- Upgrade existing machinery, converting mechanical cam lathes into CNC multispindle lathes;
- Obtain CNC accessories to overcome technical limitations of cam lathes;
- Integrate mechanics and electronics to improve performance and precision.
From Problem to Solution, Step by Step
Every project starts from a concrete question: “How can I produce this part?”
The Autor technical team evaluates all possibilities:
- If an existing Autor lathe meets the requirements, it is proposed and configured specifically for the part.
- If a compatible mechanical or CNC accessory exists, ensuring maximum efficiency, it is proposed directly.
- If no solution exists, a custom accessory is designed and developed to perform the required machining operations.
All solutions maintain maximum efficiency, safety and reliability.
Mechanics and electronics: a combination that makes the difference
Autor accessories stand out not only for build quality but also for design precision and the careful interface between accessory and machine, both mechanically and electronically.
Each solution is designed to:
- Be easy to install, reducing setup times, also thanks to our modular system for multispindle lathes
- Ensure perfect integration with the machine.
- Offer modularity to control costs.
A concrete alternative for upgrading your machine fleet
Many companies choose Autor to repurpose their multispindle automatic lathes by converting them to CNC and updating their operating principle, making the machines ready for future technological challenges. In other cases, companies turn to Autor to integrate CNC accessories into cam-type lathes, designed for new processes or innovative materials, with a significantly lower investment compared to purchasing a new machine.
This approach allows increased production efficiency while keeping costs under control.
