What is CNC turning?
CNC turning is a machining process usually performed on a CNC turning center or CNC lathe, also known as CNC lathe machining.
In this process, the spindle rotates at high speed to drive the raw material or casting. A turning tool mounted on a tool holder is formed to produce a variety of features on a typically round workpiece.
These functions include turning faces, internal and external diameters, arcs, tapers, boring, eccentricity, embossing, cutting, grooving and threading.
CNC turning consists of CNC (computer numerical control) + turning.
- “CNC” refers to a computer-controlled program that uses tools or parts to move.
- “Turning” refers to the process of rotating (turning) materials or castings.
CNC turning parts find extensive applications across various industries because of their ability to precisely manufacture a wide range of complex components, meeting the diverse needs of different sectors. These include automotive engine components, flight control systems, medical equipment parts, electronic device components, gas turbine components, wind turbine parts, pumps, valves, bearings, marine propulsion system components, door and window accessories, and more.
