Cellular Manufacturing for CNC Turning and Milling
At Superior Thread Rolling, we are committed to providing you with the optimum balance of pricing, quality, and performance. We utilize Lean Manufacturing principles throughout all our processes, and nowhere is this more apparent than our Lean CNC Cells. Each CNC turning and milling Cell is purpose-built to provide an efficient and economical solution to machining families of parts.

Clevis, Rod End, and Hook Cell
This cell machines parts from Square or Rectangular bar and is the only current cell with more milling than turning. The products in this cell have complex shapes, but are still threaded on one end. Common parts in this cell include clevises, rod ends, hooks, and latches.

- Clevises with Threads
Landing Gear Cell
Our largest lathe is equipped with an 18” chuck and 72” work length with steady rest. This cell machines landing gear rods, helicopter main masts, and other parts requiring an extra large work space. An overhead crane is installed for safety and efficiency.

- Large Threaded Stud
Small Bushing Cell
This cell utilizes barfeeding and a collet system to efficiently produce small bushings up to Ø1.50”. Typical parts here include bushings, spacers, washers, and inserts made from aluminum, bronze, stainless steel, or aluminum.
Large Bushing Cell
This cell machines larger round parts Ø1.50” to Ø6.00”. Typical parts include bushings, liners, and inserts made from heat-treated steels, aluminum bronze, and stainless steels.
Secondary Operations Cell
These machines are used primarily in machining operations that must be completed after thread rolling. Common machined features include hollow ends inside threaded parts, cross-holes, and keyways.
6-S Shop Organization
One of the key Lean Manufacturing principles used by Superior Thread Rolling to reduce costs and lead times is 6-S. The goal of a 6-S system is to put all the equipment, tools, and information needed by each member of our CNC turning and milling team physically within reach. A well-organized, clean, and safe work area reduces downtime, increases efficiency, and gives Superior Thread Rolling a competitive advantage in CNC turning and milling. (6S diagram)
