Automatic SCREW MACHINING

Cost effective in high volumes
Traditional Brown & Sharpe screw machining are primarily realized in very high-volume production of relatively simple turned parts where the long setup time can be amortized, and their mechanical speed and robustness lead to a low cost per piece. They occupy a specific niche where these factors outweigh the flexibility and broader capabilities of modern CNC equipment.

Brown & Sharpe Screw Machining at Weber
Unlock cost savings for simpler parts
At Weber Machining, we specialize in Automatic Screw Machining – for high volumes at lower costs.
Our Brown & Sharpe Ultramatic line of screw machines are traditionally cam-operated. These are the classic, highly successful automatic screw machines known for their mechanical automation driven by precisely shaped cams, gears, and levers, not electronic CNC controllers. They are workhorses for high-volume production for many decades.
For your high-volume production runs of simpler, stable-design parts—think hundreds of thousands—our cam-driven screw machining delivers significant cost savings per piece. Once set up, these incredibly robust and reliable machines operate with exceptional speed for basic turning, forming, drilling, and cutting operations, thanks to direct mechanical actuation. This high-speed efficiency, combined with dependable output and the ability to amortize setup costs over massive quantities, translates directly into a highly competitive and often lower unit cost for you compared to traditional CNC methods for these specific, long-running jobs.
Low Per-Piece Cost - Once the complex and time-consuming setup (designing/cutting cams, setting tools) is complete, these machines can run very quickly with minimal labor per part. For production runs involving hundreds of thousands or millions of relatively simple, identical parts with stable designs, the low operating cost and speed can result in a lower per-piece cost compared to CNC, as the extensive setup cost is amortized over the massive quantity.
High Speed for Simple Operations: The direct mechanical actuation driven by cams can be extremely fast for basic operations like turning, forming, drilling, threading, and cutting off parts. For components well-suited to the machine's capabilities, cycle times can be exceptionally short.
Ideal for Dedicated Production: They excel when a machine can be set up and dedicated to running a single part number continuously for long periods (months or years). This maximizes the return on the significant setup investment and leverages their speed and reliability for consistent output.
