Start with our core strength in multi-spindle turning. Explore the machining, finishing and inspection that bring a production part together.
01 / OUR PRIMARY CAPABILITY
Multi-spindle
turning.
Our core strength.
Multi-spindle turning is Liberty’s primary focus. Several bars are machined at the same time, with turning, drilling and other operations taking place at different stations. Each index moves the work to the next set of tools.
Overlapping those operations reduces the time between finished parts. With dedicated tooling and a balanced process, we combine high precision with short, repeatable cycles that help bring unit costs down on sustained production runs.
01
Parallel machining.
Several operations share the same production cycle.
02
Repeatable precision.
Dedicated tooling supports consistency throughout the run.
03
Efficient unit costs.
Balanced cycles make volume production more economical.

MULTI-SPINDLE TURNING
Gildemeister
Production turning built around a repeatable sequence of operations. Our Gildemeister equipment adds another established platform for matching the process to the part.
MULTI-SPINDLE TURNING
Tornos
Our Tornos SAS machines bring cam-operated multi-spindle turning to repeat production. Simultaneous machining stations keep the process focused on efficient cycles and consistent results.
MULTI-SPINDLE TURNING
Schütte
Another proven part of our multi-spindle fleet. Schütte equipment supports dedicated production processes with multiple tools working together through the machining cycle.
02 / SWISS CNC MACHINING
Detail, under control.
Swiss CNC machining complements our multi-spindle production when a part calls for detailed features, a different machining sequence or a long, slender shape.
A sliding headstock feeds the material through the machining area. Support close to the cut helps control slender workpieces, while programmed tool movements bring turning and additional features into a repeatable process.
SWISS CNC / CITIZEN
Citizen B12
Compact Swiss turning for detailed components. Automatic bar feeding and programmed machining support repeatable production from bar stock.
SWISS CNC / CITIZEN
Citizen L20
A versatile Swiss platform for turned parts with additional features. The L20 family combines sliding-headstock machining with CNC control of the production sequence.
SWISS CNC / TSUGAMI
Tsugami
Swiss CNC turning that extends our process options for precision components. Bar-fed operation supports a sustained, controlled machining sequence.
03 / SECONDARY OPERATIONS
The next operation.
Engineered in.
Some features are best completed after primary turning. We develop secondary operations around the part, keeping the main turning process efficient while adding the details the finished component needs.
01
Milling & drilling
Additional holes, flats and machined features developed around the primary turned part.
02
Broaching & marking
Purpose-built operations for required profiles and part identification.
03
Custom equipment
Dedicated fixtures and equipment that make a repeat operation practical at production volume.
04 / FINISHING & CLEANING
Ready for
what comes next.
The condition of a finished component matters beyond its dimensions. Deburring, surface finishing and cleaning prepare parts for their next operation, assembly or delivery.
We select the sequence around the material, geometry and requirements of the job.
Deburring
Address burrs left by machining and prepare edges for the required condition.
Vibratory finishing
& blasting
Develop the surface condition using a process suited to the component.
Automated cleaning
Remove machining residue and prepare components for subsequent handling.
05 / POST-PROCESSING & QUALITY
Quality beyond
the cut.
Production capability includes the checks that follow machining. Automated screening, dimensional inspection and process monitoring work together around the requirements of each component.
Our quality equipment includes CCM vision inspection and Mectron laser inspection systems, supported by gauging, statistical process control and lot traceability.
AUTOMATED VISION INSPECTION
CCM
Rotary glass-dial inspection presents components to vision systems for automated checks. Feeding and screening support a repeatable inspection process for production parts.
LASER INSPECTION & SCREENING
Mectron
Noncontact laser inspection supports dimensional screening of turned components. The inspection approach is developed around the features and acceptance requirements of the part.
