After one side of a part is finished the double spindle lathe (DMG NLX-2500/700 SY), will spin and work on the other side without an Airman having to manually reposition the part. The tools that are in the machine spin at up to 10,000 revolutions per minute in order for the machine to perform milling operations while the part is already spinning.
