What is CNC Turning?

CNC Turning is a precise manufacturing process that uses computerized controls to operate cutting tools and shape materials into cylindrical parts. This method is essential for creating high-precision components used in various industries, ensuring accuracy and consistency in production.

Types of CNC lathes
2-axis CNC lathes and Switzerland type lathes are the most prevalent types of lathes. However, Switzerland lathes have unique features, such as feeding through guide bushings, which allow close cutting at support points. This property applies to slender turned parts and micromachining. In addition, some Switzerland type lathes are equipped with a second tool head that serves as a CNC milling machine. This feature saves costs because it allows the lathe to perform multiple machining operations without the need for another machine. Switzerland lathes are therefore cost-effective for complex turned parts.

How CNC Turning Works

CNC lathes use the subtractive method to achieve the desired shape, starting with the creation of G-code. Once the G-code is ready, a solid rod or blank is loaded into the chuck of the lathe spindle. When the spindle rotates, the chuck holds the workpiece firmly in place. Once the spindle has reached running speed, a fixed cutting tool is introduced into the workpiece to remove excess material until the desired shape is reached. This precise cutting method and advanced technology allow CNC lathes to create a range of shapes with high precision and consistency.

Surface Finishes for CNC Turned Parts

★ Standard Finishes: Our standard finishes include as-machined, smooth, and matte finishes. These are suitable for most applications where aesthetic appearance is secondary to functionality. The as-machined finish provides a clean, precise look directly off the CNC machine, with minimal post-processing required.

Advanced Finishes: For applications requiring specific aesthetic or functional properties, we offer advanced finishing options such as anodizing, powder coating, polishing, and plating. These finishes enhance the appearance, corrosion resistance, and durability of the parts, making them ideal for high-visibility or harsh environment applications.

What parts can CNC turning make?
CNC turning produces cylindrical and symmetrical parts around their axis. This process is typically used for manufacturing items like shafts, pins, rods, bushings, and pulleys. It’s also well-suited for creating external threads, internal boreholes, and even complex contours on cylindrical surfaces. The precision of CNC turning allows for tight tolerances and a smooth finish, making it ideal for parts that require exact fits and movements, commonly found in automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing machinery.
2
Can you produce plastic turned parts?
Yes, CNC turning is versatile enough to handle various materials, including plastics. Plastics commonly turned on CNC lathes include ABS, Polycarbonate, PTFE (Teflon), Nylon, and Acetal. Each material offers different properties; for instance, Nylon is known for its strength and friction resistance, while Acetal provides excellent machinability and dimensional stability. Turning plastics requires precise control of cutting speeds and tool selection to prevent melting or deformation, ensuring the production of high-quality, precise parts suitable for a range of applications.
3
What’s the difference between CNC milling and CNC turning?
CNC milling and CNC turning are both subtractive manufacturing processes, but they differ in how the material is removed. In CNC milling, the workpiece is stationary, and the cutting tool moves across multiple axes to remove material and create the desired shape. This process is ideal for complex parts with various features such as slots, holes, and contours. On the other hand, CNC turning involves rotating the workpiece while a stationary cutting tool removes material. This method is best suited for producing cylindrical parts, such as shafts, rings, and bolts. While milling can handle more complex geometries, turning is typically faster and more efficient for producing round parts.
4
What is a CNC turning center, and what types of parts can it produce?
A CNC turning center is a computer-controlled machine designed to manufacture cylindrical parts with precision. It is capable of producing a wide range of components, including shafts, pins, screws, bushings, and other intricate parts. Highly versatile, the CNC turning center can perform various operations such as facing, turning, threading, grooving, drilling, and even complex contouring. Its advanced automation allows for consistent production quality and efficient handling of both simple and complex CNC turning parts across different industries.
