RingTech

What RingTech does

RingTech, a division of TURNEY CO INC, designs and manufactures CNC mill-turn lathes purpose-built for the wedding band and jewelry manufacturing industry. Founded in 1997 in Avondale, Arizona, by engineers with aerospace, medical, and defense backgrounds, the company targets the niche of manufacturers transitioning from bench production to CNC machining of precious and alternative metals (gold, platinum, palladium, silver, titanium, cobalt chrome, Inconel, Damascus steel, zirconium). Its RTL-series product line spans the RTL-2000 2-axis lathe, RTL-3000 turn-mill, and RTL-4000 4-axis mill-turn, all controlled by proprietary RingTurn v6 software and built on FAGOR 8055i controllers with NSK linear motion components and a distinctive vertical machine architecture that uses gravity for chip collection in precious-metal work. The portfolio includes configurable add-ons (tube feeders, part catchers, adaptable spindles, probing systems, Y-axis, live spindles up to 80,000 rpm, WIFI interface) and a comprehensive proprietary tooling catalog (diamond tools, mill grain rollers, hard material tooling, faceting and internal collets, profile holders and inserts, cutoff and grooving tools, gang tool holders).
