WHAT IS CNC TURNING
CNC turning is the process of remove material from a rotating workpiece using the linear path of tools on a CNC lathe. In a simple perspective, the main elements involved in this process are the rotating spindle in which your work part is clamped and the cutting tool that is mounted on a turret.
BENEFITS OF CNC TURNING
- Suitable for parts with rotary surfaces that require precision machining
CNC turning is the right process if your parts require controlled concentricity, stable runout, and accurate threaded profiles.
- Automated and cost-effective
CNC lathes are highly automated, providing efficient products that can reduce labor. CNC turning is highly scalable, making process suitbale for both low and high volume production at low costs.
- Multiple compatible metals and plastic materials
CNC turned parts can be made from an exceptionally wide range of metal and plastic materials.
- CNC mill-turn lathe provides multi-tasking capability
Multi-axis CNC turning centers and mill-turn lathes allow for multiple processes and multi-step machining operations on a single machine, making them a cost-effective option for complex geometries.
TYPICAL CNC OPERATIONS
The process range of CNC turning is very wide, which can be processed various types of rotary surfaces, such as external turning, internal turning, taper turning, parting, facing, boring, reaming, drilling, knurling, threading, grooving, etc.
- O.D. and I.D. Turning
For machining precise cylindrical features. Turned parts can continue to be machined in depth, with visible tool marks
- Parting and Grooving
For parting off, or cutting a “groove” profile in either the internal or external part of a part
- Facing
Flattening the face of the workpiece
- Boring and Reaming
Enlarging or finishing of existing holes to obtain highly accurate diameters
- Drilling
Remove materials to drill holes from the inside of a workpiece
- Threading
Machining of threads by turning, may be done in either the internal or external area of the workpiece.
