A single source of supply for machined lead screws and ball screws
ABSSAC has invested strongly in its in-house machining capability for lead screws and ball screws, meeting the needs of customers for whom consistent quality and rapid delivery of custom machined parts are crucial.
By relying on ABSSAC, customers can be assured of receiving products that perfectly match their drawings, are well packaged, and delivered on time. This eliminates delays in their own production and ensures customer satisfaction, leading to repeat orders.
To ensure the accuracy of consistency of products, ABSSAC sources high-quality materials from reputable suppliers, delivered in pre-straightened lengths. From this point, ABSSAC's investment in advanced CNC machinery, coupled with skilled operators, ensures consistent quality, backed by ISO 9001 accreditation.
As well as machining the screw thread, ABSSAC's CNC machining prepares the screw ends for additional components. Common operations include turning journals to specific diameters, threading, milling for keyways or flats, drilling and tapping. ABSSAC also supplies compatible support bearings and drive interfaces (such as couplings or handwheels), ensuring a seamless integrated solution.
Sourcing these pre-machined components from ABSSAC provides a number of advantages:
Efficiency - ABSSAC's expertise and dedicated tooling for lead screw and ball screw machining allow for rapid and high-quality production.
Material waste reduction - Subcontractors often scrap material, leading to delays and increased costs for the customer.
Integrated solutions - By purchasing screws, bearings and couplings from ABSSAC, customers receive a complete and compatible system.
ABSSAC leverages its 40 years of expertise to address application-specific needs that catalogues may not cover. By stocking lead screws, ball screws, bearings, couplings and linear guides, ABSSAC can recommend the most suitable components and machining requirements, streamlining the design process and accelerating time to delivery.
