The SMB brand of Türkiye-based Akim Metal today builds lathes with servo-controlled twin turrets, programmable steady rests, live tools, programmable tailstock and integrated automation. To provide optimal process control in the hunt for ever higher component quality, repeatability and productivity, the company takes advantage of FANUC CNC systems.
