I recently read an article from a machine dealer that said that, after years of inactivity, he has been receiving requests for turn key cam machines. These requests have been coming from Asian manufacturers. I believe, but am not sure, that cam machine production stopped completely around the year 2000, and now all single spindle screw machines are CNC. For us here in the United States, the move to CNC machining was necessitated by our changing job market. Our lot sizes became smaller, and the need for versatile set up and ease of programming became as important as, if not more important than, cycle time.
