Description

Product Overview

Yubao Transmission Technology operates 35+ CNC lathes and Swiss-type machines covering φ21–350mm outer diameter range with maximum machining length of 1500mm, capable of processing complex multi-step structures. With automated loading/unloading systems and in-process inspection, we achieve high-volume precision manufacturing with outer diameter tolerance ±0.003mm and shoulder face runout ≤0.01mm, meeting demanding accuracy requirements for high-end equipment.
