About CNC Turning Process

CNC turning is a precise subtractive manufacturing process that utilizes computer-controlled machines to shape cylindrical workpieces.  Material is removed from a rotating workpiece by precisely guided cutting tools, creating parts with intricate details and tight tolerances. This automated process, driven by CAD/CAM software, ensures repeatability and accuracy, making it ideal for both rapid prototyping and high-volume production.

Modern CNC lathes are equipped with advanced features, including multiple axes (often 2 or more, with some incorporating live tooling for milling operations), enabling the creation of intricate external and internal features, threads, and complex profiles. Expandable with automated bar feeders, sub-spindles, and a variety of accessories, CNC lathes provide a reliable and efficient solution for manufacturing parts with tight tolerances from a wide array of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.. It also allows the production of everything from simple shafts and bushings to highly complex components with intricate internal bores and external contours, all while maintaining consistent quality and reducing production time.

Deep Hole Drilling

Deep hole drilling is a specialized manufacturing process used to create precise boreholes with high depth-to-diameter ratios.

Compared to traditional drilling methods, deep hole drilling utilizes advanced equipment and specialized tooling, which results in significant advancements such as uniform wear and longer tool life. Deep hole drilling is essential for component functionality and performance, making it critical for various industries, including industrial automation, machinery, and other industries requiring precision engineering applications.

CNC Turning_Grinding (DSCF4681) wide.png

Grinding

Grinding is a precision machining process that uses abrasive wheels to remove material, achieving exceptionally fine surface finishes and tight tolerances on components. It is often used after initial machining operations to refine part geometry, improve surface quality, and achieve specific dimensional requirements. Grinding also plays a key role in removing tool marks and helps prepare surfaces for secondary operations such as coating.

Grinding is essential in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical, where high precision and surface quality are critical. It can be used to achieve better flatness, parallelism, and specific surface roughness values, ensuring optimal fit and function for components. It can also be used for better concentricity and circularity and lower run-out on circular features.

CNC Turning_Knurling  (DSCF4648) wide.png

Knurling

Knurling is a unique machining process that creates a patterned surface on a workpiece, enhancing its grip and aesthetic appeal. Unlike traditional machining that removes material, knurling displaces it, creating indentations that improve handling and provide a decorative touch. Knurling also finds application in press fit assemblies, where the increased surface roughness improves interference fits. Additionally, custom knurling patterns can be used for part identification and marking. 

The benefits of knurling include enhanced grip, improved durability, and customizability with various patterns like diamond, straight, or diagonal. Knurling tools can be integrated into various machine setups, including lathes and mills, providing flexibility in manufacturing environments.
