What is CNC Turning?
CNC turning is a subtractive manufacturing process that involves rotating a bar of material while a cutting tool is fed to the piece to remove material and create the desired shape. It is primarily used for cylindrical parts and is suitable for producing fast and repeated symmetrical or cylindrical parts with a high production volume. The process is controlled by a computer and can produce parts with high quality and a smooth finish. CNC turning is best suited for parts with cylindrical or rotational symmetry, and it is capable of various operations such as drilling, boring, reaming, and taper turning. The main difference between CNC turning and CNC milling lies in the workpiece motion, where in CNC tunring, the workpiece rotates while the cutting tool remains stationary, allowing for the creation of axially symmetric parts with precision and smooth finishes.

If you are considering different manufacturing processes for your part, it’s important to evaluate the suitability of CNC turning based on factors such as part shape, material properties, tolerance requirements, complex geometries, and size limitations. CNC lathe turning is well-suited for materials that are easy to machine, such as aluminum, brass, and plastics, and it can achieve high precision and tight tolerances. However, it may not be suitable for parts with intricate or non-rotational features, as well as for larger-sized parts due to machine limitations.

In summary, CNC turn machining is a versatile manufacturing process suitable for producing cylindrical parts with high precision and efficiency. It offers unique advantages for specific part geometries and production requirements.
What is CNC turning parts?
Used for processing metals and other hard materials. On a CNC lathe, the workpiece is secured to a fixture and material is removed by rotating the workpiece and the movement of the tool to obtain the desired shape. It’s called CNC turning parts.

 

The main application areas of CNC turn machining include but are not limited to:
1. Automotive industry: CNC lathe turning machining is often used to produce automotive parts, such as engine parts, suspension parts, transmission parts and body parts.
2. Aerospace industry: The aerospace field requires multi-coordinate, high-precision processing equipment, such as aircraft structures, aeroengine fuselages, impellers and blades, etc.
3. Machinery manufacturing industry: CNC turning parts is widely used in the field of machinery manufacturing, including the production of small and medium batches and even single workpieces.
In general, CNC lathe turning is widely used in manufacturing industries, including automobiles, aerospace, machinery manufacturing, etc., and is suitable for producing parts of various complex shapes.

 

The processing technology of CNC turned parts includes a variety of methods, mainly including external turning, internal turning, end turning, taper turning, etc. Among them, cylindrical turning is the most common one, which removes metal material from the surface of the workpiece by rotating the workpiece and cutting tools to achieve the purpose of processing. Internal turning involves placing a cutting tool inside the workpiece and rotating the workpiece to machine the cylindrical surface inside the workpiece. End turning is to place the workpiece on a lathe and use a cutting tool to remove the end face of the workpiece. Taper turning places the workpiece on a lathe and uses a cutting tool to remove the tapered surface of the workpiece. These methods can be selected according to different workpiece shapes and processing requirements.
