CNC lathes, also called live – tooling lathes, are ideal for making symmetrical, cylindrical, or spherical parts. They work by rotating a workpiece on a vertical/horizontal axis while a cutting tool moves linearly around it (a process called turning). Thanks to precision and efficiency, they’re widely used in manufacturing.
CNC lathes use G – Code and a subtractive method. A raw material bar is loaded into the lathe spindle’s chuck. As the spindle rotates, a stationary cutter removes excess material to shape the part, ensuring high accuracy.
The common types are 2 – axis and Swiss – type lathes. Swiss – type lathes have unique features like guide – bushing stock feeding, perfect for slender parts and micromachining. Some have a second tool head (acting as a CNC mill), enabling multi – operation machining and cost savings for complex parts.
CNC turning plays a crucial role in diverse industries, enabling the production of high - precision cylindrical components. Here are some key application areas:
Got questions about CNC turning, material specs, or project feasibility? We’re here to turn ideas into reality.
CNC milling and CNC turning are two distinct machining processes that differ in how they operate, the types of machines used, and the parts they can produce.
CNC milling uses a rotating cutting tool that moves across a stationary workpiece to remove material from its surface. The milling process can produce a wide range of geometries, including flat and inclined surfaces, slots, and grooves.
CNC turning, on the other hand, rotates the workpiece while the cutting tool remains stationary, shaping the material into the desired shape. It is typically used to produce cylindrical parts and is ideal for creating symmetrical components like shafts, pins, and bushings.
In summary, CNC milling is ideal for producing parts with complex shapes and geometries, while CNC turning is perfect for creating cylindrical parts. Both processes provide high levels of precision, consistency, and efficiency while reducing the need for manual labor.
CNC lathes and turning centers are not just two names for the same machine – they actually perform different tasks! Lathes generally rotate a part to create circular shapes, but with more advanced features like facing, threading, knurling drilling and reaming as well as taper turning capabilities; Turning Centers can help you produce even more intricate pieces.
Rough turning and finish turning are the two stages of the turning process used to make machined parts. Here are the primary differences between them:
Both stages are essential in the turning process, with rough turning used to remove bulk material and produce the desired shape, and finish turning used to refine the size and surface finish of the machined part.
Through the power of CNC turning, a multitude of parts necessary for production in a variety of industries can be crafted – from automotive components and aeronautical components to medical equipment pieces and toy parts. From hubs to flywheels, this technology is an invaluable tool that continues — day after day — powering countless essential items we use daily.
Higher Precision: CNC turning offers significantly higher precision than manual turning, allowing for extremely accurate machine parts.
Greater Efficiency: CNC lathes can complete multiple operations in a single setup, reducing the time and cost involved in producing machined parts.
Versatile Applications: CNC turning can be applied to an extensive range of materials, from metals to plastics, allowing for a diverse range of applications.
Consistent Quality: CNC turning ensures that every machined part is identical in design and output, guaranteeing consistent quality throughout production.
Lower Costs: With its high efficiency, automated operation, and consistent quality, CNC turning offers lower manufacturing costs in the long run, as compared to traditional methods.
