What is CNC Turning?

Turning is a machining process that involves the rotation of metal on a lathe while a cutting tool

moves linearly to remove material along the diameter, resulting in the formation of a cylindrical

shape.

By adjusting the angle of the cutting tool, various forms can be created. Turning can be performed

manually or with the assistance of a CNC turning machine. CNC machining is typically employed

when precise part measurements are essential.

Product Details

We have experience working with a wide range of materials, including carbon alloys, aluminum,

brass, stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, and engineered plastics.

If you're unsure about the best material for your specific application or if you're considering a

material that isn't listed here, our team can provide guidance and assistance.

Our tolerances for machined parts are typically within +0.005"/-0.005" for most metal geometries,

and within +/- 0.010" for plastics.

However, tolerances may vary for larger parts, especially when maintaining flatness over extensive

sections post-heat treatment.

CNC Turning Applications

CNC turning services find applications in various industries, catering to specific needs and

demands:

1. Transportation: CNC turning plays a vital role in crafting components for the aerospace,

automotive, mass transit, rail, locomotive, military, and trucking sectors.

These industries rely on CNC machines to produce essential parts like headnuts, gear blanks,

bearing blocks, levers, axles, and rotors for transportation equipment.

2. Construction: The construction industry requires robust components capable of withstanding

heavy loads.

CNC machining is frequently employed to manufacture bolts and screws from materials like

stainless steel and aluminum, essential for assembly and fastening tasks.

3. Automotive: CNC turning services are indispensable in the automotive sector, producing

critical auto parts including cylinder heads, connecting rods, camshafts, transmission components

like shafts and rings, suspension parts such as sway bars, control arms, tie rod ends, as well as

various items like bushings and bolts.

4. Aviation: The aviation industry heavily relies on CNC turned parts for customization and the

production of probes, joint connectors, fasteners, and engine and aircraft components.

Many aviation components utilize titanium due to its ability to withstand extreme temperature

variations, making it a preferred material for critical applications.

Reducing CNC Machining Costs

Achieving cost reduction in manufacturing requires a thoughtful approach that considers

various factors. Here are some general tips to help reduce production costs:

1. Material Selection:

Choose popular materials and compare prices across different types.
Keep in mind that harder materials like steel and stainless steel tend to be more expensive than

softer materials such as aluminum or plastic.

2. Design Simplification:

Opt for 2D parts made from sheet material instead of 3D parts from block material.

Consider stacking 2D parts or using bending techniques to create 3D shapes.

Design parts to be multi-functional to reduce the number of distinct part types.

3. Volume Optimization:

Increase the quantity of parts to take advantage of economies of scale and reduce the cost per

part.

4. Tolerance Management:

Use the loosest applicable tolerance to avoid unnecessary precision, which can increase production

costs.

5. Finish Selection:

Choose common and simple finishes to minimize costs.

Avoid multiple finishing processes whenever possible.

Consider using materials that do not require additional finishing steps.

6. Component Separation:

Convert single complex parts into multiple simpler components that can be assembled.

For example, when creating a large disk with a thin rod protruding from the center, design the disk

and rod separately rather than as a single piece.
This approach can reduce material waste and production costs.

7. Hole Tapping Optimization:

When tapping holes, avoid depths exceeding three times the hole diameter, especially when the

hole and bolt are of the same material.

Deeper holes often do not add significant strength but can substantially increase costs.

By implementing these cost-saving strategies, manufacturers can optimize their production

processes and reduce overall manufacturing expenses.
