Detailed description of CNC Turning

A lathe produces CNC Turning and a computer controls the lathe. A center lathe or lathe produces metal components and performs the Turning. By turning rods or bars of material and by feeding a cutting tool into the turning material components are produced by CNC and CNC milled parts.

In industrial mechanical industries, CNC turning machines (also known as CNC lathe machines) are most needed so that it can perform variety form of operations including drilling, cutting, and sanding. Turnaround time is effectively reduced by these machines and it boosts one's profitability over a long period of time.

At different angles, the cutter can be fed into the rotating or precision CNC turning workpiece and many different shapes of the tool can be used. There are many reasons for which the shape of the cutting tool will vary such as the shape of the cut or the type of materials that are required in a particular workpiece.

To produce parts that are commonly symmetrical about an axis of revolution (a rounded doorknob for example) it provides a very economical way. With the use of CNC turnings, the shapes that are produced can include a wide variety of plain, contour, taper,  radius and fillet profiles, it can even produce threaded surfaces.

CNC turning by rapid CNC turning services in China is capable of producing shapes in many different rigid types of materials, and some of these can include:

• Bronze
• Brass
• Nylon
• Acetal
• Aluminum
• Titanium
• Acrylic
• Steel

There are many turned parts that use a single axis of revolution with the process of turning, and there are multiple axes to follow to allow more flexibility; camshafts. Very often the process can be combined with the process of CNC milling and other processes so that it can produce more diverse and intricate shapes and applications.

 Few examples of CNC turned components can include:

• Automobile parts
• Motorcycle parts
• Doorknobs & knobs
• Toy parts
• Shafts & flywheels
• Pulleys

CNC turning can minimize the amount of material that is removed, reduce the complexity and can help avoid difficult shapes such as turning long thin structures.
