What Is CNC Turning?

CNC turning is the process of remove material from a rotating workpiece using the linear path of tools on a CNC lathe. In a simple perspective, the main elements involved in this process are the rotating spindle in which your work part is clamped and the cutting tool that is mounted on a turret.

Here at Wayken’s CNC turning center, we are highly capable of producing complex and critically dimensioned custom parts through our CNC lathes, providing high-quality CNC turned parts in metal or plastic for rapid prototyping or low volume production.

Why Choose CNC Turning?

• Parts with rotary surfaces that require precision machining
• CNC turning is the right process if your parts require controlled concentricity, stable runout, and accurate threaded profiles.
• Automated and cost-effective
• CNC lathes are highly automated, providing efficient products that can reduce labor; CNC turning is highly scalable and that makes this process adaptable to both low and high volume production without that much cost.
• Multiple compatible metals and plastic materials
• CNC turned parts can be made from an exceptionally wide range of metal and plastic materials. For example, metals include aluminum, steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, etc., as well as plastics ABS, POM, PEEK, acrylic, nylon, etc.
• CNC mill-turn lathe provides multi-tasking capability
• Multi-axis CNC turning centers and mill-turn lathes allow for multiple processes and multi-step machining operations on a single machine, making them a cost-effective option for complex geometries.

Basic Types Of CNC Turning Processes

The process range of CNC turning is very wide, which can be processed various types of rotary surfaces, such as external turning, internal turning, taper turning, parting, facing, boring, reaming, drilling, knurling, threading, grooving, etc.

O.D. and I.D. Turning – For machining precise cylindrical features.  For machining precise cylindrical features. Turned parts can continue to be machined in depth, with visible tool marks (Tool used: General turning tool)
Parting and Grooving – For parting off, or cutting a “groove” profile in either the internal or external part of a part (Tool used: Parting and grooving inserts)
Facing – Flattening the face of the workpiece (Tool used: Facing tool)
Boring and Reaming – Enlarging or finishing of existing holes to obtain highly accurate diameters (Tool used: Boring and reaming tools)
Drilling – Remove materials to drill holes from the inside of a workpiece (Tool used: Drills)
Threading – Machining of threads by turning, may be done in either the internal or external area of the workpiece. (Tool used: Threading tools)

Applications Of CNC Turning Services And Parts

• Prototype CNC Machining
• Prove and refine designs by verifying engineering-grade materials, complex geometries, tight tolerances, and testing components for suitability and manufacturability.
• Custom Parts Manufacturing
• Production-grade CNC turned parts custom-made to specific specifications and needs, meeting high precision and quality, as well as on-time delivery and cost effectiveness. Our subtractive manufacturing method provide CNC machined parts having particular form that also are highly use in medical devices with low cost.
• Rapid Tooling Mold
• Mold manufacturing requires considerable metalworking skills, including rapid machining as well as advanced cutting in different types of aluminum and steel, used to quickly create molds and fixtures.
