The oil and gas industry demands components that are big, heavy, and incredibly durable—and that’s where a high-performance CNC machine makes all the difference. From valve bodies to pump pistons and flanges, rugged parts require equally rugged equipment.
Built for Large-Diameter, Heavy-Duty Turning
Oilfield components often exceed standard machining limits. That’s why Kent CNC’s horizontal turning centers are available with spindle bores up to 16”, swings up to 65”, and powerful spindle motors—like the 34 HP gear-driven headstock on the LL CNC 5 Bed Way Heavy Duty Extra Long Turning Center Series. These machines offer the torque and stability needed for long, heavy parts.
For even more demanding applications, the CNC Heavy-Duty Boring Turning Centers provide exceptional strength and stability. These are purpose-built for large-diameter boring and precision turning of thick-walled components commonly used in high-pressure pipelines and subsea equipment.
Precision Under Pressure
In an industry where downtime can cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour, accuracy and reliability aren’t optional. Kent CNC machines offer tight tolerances and consistent surface finishes—even when cutting alloy steels and other difficult materials. Their heavy-duty construction ensures they can handle the pressure of extended production runs in demanding environments without compromising performance.
Box Way Strength for Demanding Cuts
To ensure maximum rigidity and vibration resistance, our oil & gas-focused machines are equipped with box ways rather than linear guides. This makes them especially suited for deep roughing, threading, and interrupted cuts that are common in oilfield applications. The robust design ensures minimal deflection and consistent tool engagement across long workpieces.
Advanced Multi-Axis Capability
For complex parts that require multi-surface machining—such as impellers, couplings, and eccentric housings—Kent CNC’s 5-Axis Milling Turning Center Series combines turning and milling operations in a single setup. This reduces cycle times, boosts accuracy, and eliminates the need for multiple machines or re-clamping.
Whether you’re rebuilding fracking components or machining new wellhead parts, Kent CNC offers a full range of turning solutions—engineered for the rigors of oil and gas machining.
