What's CNC turning service ?
CNC turning operations are designed for making final parts with axial and radial holes, internal diameters, grooves and slots.
Our CNC turning centres are capable of high-speed turning of both plastic and metals to create end-parts with complex external
geometries, cylindrical features, threads and internal bores.
Performed on a lathed part, CNC turning will produce parts by rotating the workpiece at high speeds around a stationary
cutting tool till the desired form is attained. The process involves the securing of a material bar in a chuck while rotating them
to a cutting tool to strip the original workpiece of material. The cutting tool will typically move along the X, Y and Z axis relative
to the part.
CNC turning parts is more cost-effective than CNC milling parts . This is because of their rate of production and suitability for larger machining parts.
The ideal CNC turning centre service will have more than one turret. The turning operation can be completed faster when there is a main spindle and sub spindle. The turning action will entail the main spindle machining the part to a considerable extent before passing it off to the sub spindle to complete the remainder operations.
After the part has been machined, deburring often follows. The part may then be transferred to a mill to add certain features
that may not be possible on the lathe.
