Begun in 1931, L. G. Evans & Company has a long history of providing manufacturing solutions and the finest machine tools to our customers.  Today, our primary focus is bar machining. We are the exclusive dealer for Citzen Cincom CNC Swiss type machines and Miyano fixed headstock lathes which come in single, twin and three turret models.  While there are considerable differences between the two types of machines, they do share some common goals and capabilities, the most important of which is the ability to drop parts off complete

Complete Machining is made possible by having multi-axis machines equipped with both main and sub-spindles that allow us to simultaneously do work on the main spindle and the cut-off end of the part.   The machines are also equipped with live tools, C-axes and Y-axes that enable us to perform drilling and   complex milling. We can also incorporate gun drilling, thread whirling, polygon turning and even gear hobbing.

In some cases we are replacing processes that previously routed the part across three, five or in one case, seven machines to complete the required operations.   Since nearly all machines are equipped with magazine barfeeds, you essentially have a completely automated cell. The barfeed continuously feeds the stock. When the bar is too short to complete another part, the remnant is retracted, pulled from the barstock collet and ejected to a collection tray. The next bar is released into the channel and machining is resumed. The whole process takes place in about 30-45 secends.
