What Is CNC Turning?

CNC turning is a highly precise and efficient subtractive machining process that works on the principle of the lathe machine. It involves placing

the cutting tool against a turning workpiece to remove materials and give the desired shape.

What is the Difference Between CNC Turning and Milling?

While CNC turning rotates the part for cutting, CNC milling rotates the tool to cut the part.

Going further, CNC turning will typically be used for cylindrical parts, as you rely on the part itself to rotate and create the friction to

remove material when the cutting tool is placed against it.

On the other hand, CNC milling can create more complex parts as it is the cutting tool (rather than the material) that is spinning.

Our advanced CNC turning center routinely works with a wide variety of materials, ranging from copper, brass, stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and titanium. We can always choose a suitable precision turning process to reach your requirements. Our custom CNC machining services ensure that our customers receive the highest quality CNC turned parts.

CNC Turning Machine Parts

Acquiring familiarity with the parts of a CNC turning machine is essential to grasp the process of CNC turning. Turning machine parts vary by manufacturer, kind, and capacity. It’s important to note that all CNC turning machines have several common parts:

• Control unit: The controller is the brain of the operation, receiving input from the operator and translating it into actions
• Spindle: It is the part of the machine that holds and rotates the workpiece
• Turret: The turret is a platform that holds and indexes the cutting tools
• Tool holder: Tool holders are adjustable devices holding cutting tools on the turret
• Cutting tool: Cutting tools are used to remove material from the workpiece

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is your maximum diameter capacity for turned parts?

We can turn parts with diameters ranging from 0.5mm to 65mm for stock bars.

Our turning capabilities can reach up to 3000 mm for billets.

2. What’s the difference between CNC milling and CNC lathe?

The major difference between CNC milling and CNC lathe is in their machining process.

CNC milling involves rotating the cutting tools against a stationary bar stock or workpiece.

In contrast, a CNC lather works by rotating the bar stock or workpiece against a stationary tool.

CNC milling is more suitable for machining irregular and flat surfaces, while CNC lathes work best for

cylindrical or conical parts.

3. What parts can CNC turning make?

The CNC turning process is mostly ideal for cylindrical-shaped raw materials.

However, several manufacturers also use it for hexagonal and square-shaped workpieces.

It is a popular method for making machine parts for microfluidic tools, signage components,

surgical instruments, automotive frames, and aerospace parts.

4. Can you produce plastic turned parts?

Yes, our CNC turning services include plastic parts manufacturing. We can produce small or

large batch prototypes and production parts from various engineering-grade plastics.

Choose from our extensive range of plastic materials and upload your design file to get custom plastic components.

5. How about your quality?
Passed ISO9001 quality management system certification.
After the sample is approved, we will develop the operating instructions.
We will check 100% of the product before shipping.
