What Does CNC Turning Involve?
CNC turning companies offer precision machining services using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) turning machines. This advanced process involves computer-controlled tools shaping materials to craft precise cylindrical or rotational components with remarkable accuracy.
CNC turning machines are versatile, accommodating various materials from metals like steel, aluminium, and brass, to plastics and composites. The material choice is tailored to each client’s project requirements.
The precision, consistency, intricate detail, and customisability inherent in CNC turning make it the ideal method for producing components vital to various industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, and more.
How Our CNC Turning Process Works
Prior to the start of the machining process, we engage closely with our clients to fully understand the design and specifications of the parts they desire.
Subsequently, we develop a CNC program that serves as the guiding blueprint for the CNC machine, instructing it on how to cut and shape the chosen materials to exacting specifications.
Setting up the CNC turning machine involves several key steps. First, we secure the workpiece firmly in the chuck and load the appropriate cutting tools into the tool turret. Then, we meticulously calibrate the machine to ensure precise positioning and alignment.
With the setup in place, the CNC turning machine executes the programmed instructions with precision. It rotates the workpiece while the cutting tools deftly remove material from the outer surface, crafting the desired shape, dimensions, and features, including holes, threads, and grooves, among others.
This process is highly versatile, accommodating a wide spectrum of customisations, allowing clients to fashion parts with specific shapes, sizes, and features perfectly tailored to their unique needs.
Should you have any questions or seek more insights into the CNC turning process and how it can address a diverse range of requirements, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to help!
