CNC machining, standing for Computer Numerical Control machining, is a subtractive manufacturing
process utilized to fabricate parts by selectively removing material from a workpiece or workpiece
stock.
Precise control over the machine's movements is achieved through preprogrammed software and
codes. The scope of CNC machining encompasses various machinery types, including turning mills,
lathes, grinders, and plasma-cutting machines.
Product Details
CNC machining machines possess the versatility to cut through an extensive array of materials,
encompassing aluminum, bronze, copper, ceramics, plywood, diverse steel types, stone, wood,
zinc, and various engineering materials.
This broad range of capabilities positions CNC machining as an optimal solution for prototype
creation in product development. It facilitates the ability to make accurate and swift adjustments
until achieving satisfaction with the final product.

Typical Applications of CNC Turning
The applications of CNC machining are expansive, offering solutions across diverse industries.
In the realm of woodworking, CNC machines revolutionize the production of wooden furniture,
providing efficiency in both time and cost.
Intricate designs that once required master craftsmanship can now be achieved with ease.
For lettering and engraving systems, CNC technology becomes a tool for marking patterns or
text onto surfaces, catering to artistic and serialized needs.
The electrical industry benefits from CNC machining for tasks such as creating precise component
mounting holes in printed circuit boards and manufacturing heat sinks for electronics.
CNC machines also play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry, producing precise equipment
like metering pumps, ingredient-dispensing nozzles, and packaging components.
In the fast-paced consumer goods industry, CNC machining contributes to the creation of custom
material-handling machinery for the food and beverage sector, as well as molds for injection-molded
plastic used in food packaging.
