Overview
The Davenport E2000+ is an enhanced version of the E2000 CNC 5-spindle automatic platform, incorporating additional axis capability, expanded live tooling options, and improved servo performance to address more demanding precision component applications. The E2000+ builds directly on the E2000's purpose-built CNC architecture while extending the machine's capability envelope to compete with higher-end applications that might otherwise require consideration of European CNC multi-spindle platforms.
The key differentiators of the E2000+ versus the standard E2000 center on enhanced programmable axis count, upgraded servo drives providing higher acceleration and improved positioning accuracy, and an expanded live tooling architecture that allows more complex simultaneous operations across the 5-spindle cycle. Where the E2000 provides sufficient capability for the majority of standard screw machine production, the E2000+ targets the more demanding portion of the market—tighter tolerances, more complex geometry, more challenging materials, or applications that require simultaneous multi-axis interpolation within individual spindle positions.
The 5-spindle drum architecture of the E2000+ retains the fundamental throughput advantage of the Davenport platform: five simultaneous machining operations produce one completed part per index cycle, with effective cycle time equal to the longest single-position operation time. For parts with demanding tolerance requirements—bore diameters held to ±0.0002 inches, surface finishes requiring precise cutting parameter control—the E2000+'s enhanced servo capability and axis accuracy deliver process capability that standard-class multi-spindle machines may not reliably achieve.
The E2000+ targets precision component applications in aerospace, medical device, fluid power, and automotive fuel systems where dimensional tolerances and surface finish requirements exceed what standard screw machine production can reliably deliver. These applications justify the higher capital investment of the E2000+ versus the standard E2000 through reduced scrap rates, reduced secondary operations, and the ability to hold tolerances that qualify the shop for precision component programs.
For Davenport shops already operating E2000 machines and encountering tolerance or complexity limitations on new programs, the E2000+ represents a capacity upgrade that maintains tooling compatibility and operator familiarity while expanding the range of work the shop can competitively pursue.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The E2000+ features enhanced servo drives for improved axis accuracy and acceleration, an expanded live tooling architecture with more positions and simultaneous operation capability, and upgraded CNC control options that support more complex programming for demanding applications. The result is tighter achievable tolerances and more complex part geometry capability than the standard E2000.
02
The E2000+ premium is justified when your production mix includes components with tight tolerances (bore diameters to ±0.0002 in or better), complex geometry requiring simultaneous multi-axis operations, or materials requiring precise cutting parameter control. For standard screw machine production, the standard E2000 delivers excellent value. The E2000+ pays off on precision programs that single-spindle machines currently hold due to tolerance requirements.
03
Aerospace, medical device, precision fluid power, and automotive fuel system manufacturers are the primary users of the E2000+ platform. These industries combine the high-volume production volumes that justify multi-spindle investment with the precision requirements that justify the E2000+ premium over the standard platform.
04
The E2000+ shares tooling compatibility with the standard E2000 and the broader Davenport tooling ecosystem. Standard Davenport cross-slide tools, end-working attachments, and most live tooling units are interchangeable between E2000 and E2000+ machines, preserving tooling investment when shops operate mixed fleets.
05
The Tornos MultiDeco 20/8b offers 8 spindles versus the E2000+'s 5, providing higher throughput for multi-operation parts and the ability to dedicate more positions to complex operations. The MultiDeco also has strong European precision engineering credentials. The E2000+ advantage lies in lower cost, North American support, and operator familiarity for Davenport shops. The right choice depends on bar diameter range, required throughput, and existing shop expertise.
