What is CNC turning service and how CNC turning works - basics of CNC turning process
CNC turning is a special form of precision CNC machining process that holds the cylindrical workpiece in the chuck and rotates, while the cutting tool brings the piece and removes the material to obtain the desired CNC turned parts, leaving excellent surface machining that sometimes requires no post-machining. Turning can be performed from the outside or inside of the workpiece to produce tubular components of different geometries.
When it comes to the CNC turning process, the subtraction method of production is usually performed on a CNC lathe or turning center. Before cutting, it is necessary to prepare the G-code and the turning machine, then fasten the empty material bar in the clamping head of the spindle. The chuck holds the piece in place as the spindle rotates. With the spindle rotating to a certain speed, the stationary single-point CNC lathe cutter will move in a linear path parallel to the axis of rotation and remove excess material, reduce block diameter, determine dimension and create a smooth finish. specifications.
What is a CNC lathe - the difference between a CNC lathe and a lathe
CNC turning center, equipment or machines for CNC turning services, is a computer-controlled 3, 4 or 5-axis machine with the possibilities of turning, drilling, turning and milling, using live tools with rotating dome, double spindle, Y-axis and multiple domes . While the CNC lathe is a simpler two-spindle two-axis machine, which basically consists of a headrest, a trolley, a butt and a bed.
CNC lathes have a more complex structure than CNC lathes.
CNC lathes have greater production capabilities and versatility than CNC lathes.
CNC lathes are generally of the flat type, while the turning centers are usually oblique.
There is only a minimal protective housing around the lathe, while the turning center is usually equipped with solid housings to retain sawdust and spray coolant inside the machine.
CNC turning operations - Types of CNC turning
There are many types of CNC turning services for CNC lathes that can be performed on a live lathe in a CNC turning factory, including hard turning, splitting, coating, drilling, boring, turning, drilling, milling, threading, grooves, etc., comes with different tools, price and setup time.
Conical turning: produce a cylindrical part whose diameter decreases from one end to the other.
Hard turning: suitable for materials with Rockwell hardness greater than 45, typically performed after heat treatment.
Spherical generation: create a spherical finished surface by rotating around a fixed rotational axis.
Rotation: A rotation process in which a workpiece is machined to its center.
Separation: create deep grooves that remove a completed or partially completed component from its parent material.
Groove: similar to the separation, but cut only to a certain depth on the outside or inside of the workpiece.
Drilling: Remove the hole drilling materials from the inside of the workpiece with the drills resting in the rear or the tool dome on the lathe. Boring: enlarge or smooth out an existing hole.
Knurling: Cut a serrated pattern onto the workpiece surface with a cropping tool, to change or enhance the visual effect or handshake.
Re-drilling: remove a small volume of material from the drilled hole for highly accurate diameters.
Thread: turning standard and non-standard threads, generally means single-point thread.
Polygonal turning: non-circular forms of processing without interrupting the rotation of the raw material.
CNC lathes - Materials used for CNC lathes
The CNC turning service can be applied to a variety of materials, including metal, plastic and wood. Different lathes are needed for turning metal and wood. Depending on the types of materials processed, certain maintenance and safety measures may be required for the lathe. Here are some common materials for a CNC lathe manufacturer as below.
Metals: aluminum, magnesium, steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze, titanium, nickel alloy, etc.
Plastic: nylon, polycarbonate, POM, ABS, etc.
