What is CNC turning?
CNC turning is a precise and automated manufacturing process for producing rotationally symmetrical parts. In contrast to manual turning, the control is computer-assisted (CNC = Computerized Numerical Control), which ensures consistently high quality and repeat accuracy.
During turning, a workpiece is clamped in a rotating clamping device (lathe chuck) while a stationary tool removes material. Both simple and highly complex geometries can be manufactured efficiently using precise programmed movements.
How does CNC turning work?
CNC turning parts are manufactured on CNC lathes, where the workpiece rotates while the tools move linearly. This process allows for high material removal rates, making turning highly cost-efficient.
Unlike CNC milling, CNC turning keeps the tool continuously engaged, preventing interrupted cutting conditions. Additionally, CNC turning machines have a simpler mechanical design, making them more cost-effective than milling machines of equivalent performance and size.
In CNC machining, combined machines with driven tools and milling spindles are often used in addition to pure lathes. With such millturning machines, the complete machining of workpieces is possible in a single clamping operation.
Advantages of CNC turning
- High precision and repeat accuracy
- Efficient manufacturing of complex geometries
- Cost-effective production of small, medium and large series
- Automated processes for fast delivery times
