At Hinz Company, we understand that modern manufacturing demands accuracy, consistency, and the ability to handle difficult, large-scale machining challenges. That’s why our investment in advanced CNC machining technologies—especially our CNC integrated vertical turning lathe capabilities—has become such an essential part of the services we provide to our customers. When companies come to us looking for large-diameter, heavy, or intricately machined parts, we know they’re counting on a partner who can do the job right the first time. We take that responsibility seriously.

Over the years, we’ve built a strong reputation on three pillars: precision, experience, and innovation. Our CNC vertical turning services blend these strengths seamlessly. With state-of-the-art equipment, skilled machinists, and a customer-first approach, we deliver parts that meet the highest performance standards while supporting a wide variety of industries and applications.

What CNC Integrated Vertical Turning Means to Us

When we talk about CNC integrated vertical turning, we’re referring to a machining process where the workpiece is held vertically on a rotating table while computerized controls guide the cutting tools. This differs from a traditional horizontal lathe and gives us significant advantages when machining:

• Large-diameter components
• Heavy workpieces
• Precision faces and bores
• Complex contours and geometries

Because the workpiece sits vertically, gravity helps secure it, especially when parts weigh hundreds or even thousands of pounds. The CNC aspect means every movement—every cut, tool change, feed rate, and spindle speed—is governed by programming rather than manual operation. This combination of stability and automation allows us to consistently achieve tight tolerances and repeatable results.

Why We Use a Vertical Turning Lathe

For us, a vertical turning lathe isn’t just a machine—it’s a capability that expands what we can do for our customers. Many of the industries we support rely on components that simply cannot be machined effectively on traditional horizontal lathes due to their size, shape, or weight. Vertical turning gives us the ability to take on these challenging parts.

We typically turn to our VTL equipment when a component is:

• Wide in diameter
• Too heavy to safely hold horizontally
• Required to meet high-accuracy specifications
• Designed with broad surfaces that need uniform machining

Our customers count on us to produce parts that must function reliably under extreme conditions—from heavy industrial loads to high-speed rotational forces—and our vertical turning capabilities play a key role in that reliability.

The Types of Parts We Produce with Vertical Turning

One of the strengths of our CNC vertical turning service is its versatility. We produce a wide variety of parts across many sectors, each with its own challenges and requirements.

Large-Diameter Components

When diameter matters most, our VTL machines shine. We routinely manufacture large circular parts such as:

• Gear blanks
• Wheel hubs
• Brake discs
• Flywheels
• Turbine rings

These parts often require perfect roundness and precise concentricity, and our vertical turning technologies are extremely effective in achieving those results.

Precision-Machined Faces and Bores

Many components we machine require smooth, accurate facing operations or deep, aligned bores. Our vertical lathes allow us to produce:

• Pump housings
• Valve bodies
• Compressor rings
• Pressure vessel flanges
• Hydraulic system components

These components often serve as critical sealing surfaces or structural interfaces, and we take great care to ensure every dimension is machined to specification.

Heavy and Complex Components

Some projects simply demand the power of a vertical turning environment. For very heavy or unusually shaped parts, vertical orientation is the safest and most effective approach. We regularly machine:

• Structural mounting rings
• Bearing housings
• Large couplings
• Support plates

Thanks to the stability inherent in vertical positioning, we’re able to maintain accuracy while also ensuring safe and efficient operations for parts that would otherwise be extremely challenging to manage.

How CNC Integration Enhances What We Do

Our CNC-integrated systems allow us to produce exceptional quality, regardless of whether we’re machining a single prototype or running a large production schedule.

The advantages are clear:

Repeatable Precision

Every tool movement is digitally controlled, meaning we can reproduce the same part with the same accuracy across long production runs.

Higher Efficiency

Automation significantly reduces machining time. Tool changes, speed adjustments, and feed movements are all programmed for optimal performance.

Superior Accuracy and Tolerances

With CNC control, we maintain precise control over every cutting variable, allowing us to hold tight tolerances—even on challenging materials or complex designs.

Cost Savings Through Reduced Waste

CNC machining minimizes human error and material waste, ultimately lowering the cost per part for our customers.

Flexibility for Any Production Scale

Whether you need one specialized part or hundreds of identical components, our CNC capabilities allow us to adapt quickly and efficiently.

What Sets Hinz Company Apart

While we take pride in our machinery and technology, it’s our people and our commitment to quality that make our service truly exceptional.
