Turning operations are a specialized type of mechanized metal machining in which the workpiece rotates on a dedicated machine, while cutting tools (a drill or a turning tool) sequentially remove layers of excess material to obtain a part of the required shape and dimensions.
Modern CNC turn-mill machines operated by New Standard are capable of producing cylindrical surfaces, steps, grooves, holes, and threads in accordance with a technical layout agreed in advance with the customer.
Metal Turning Operations | Main Types
A CNC lathe is automated equipment used for high-precision machining of rotating metal parts. A CNC machine is controlled by a computer program, which eliminates the human factor, ensures high accuracy, and provides excellent repeatability for mass production.
Most commonly, metal turning involves machining workpieces made of low- and medium-carbon steels, stainless and alloy steels, aluminum and aluminum-based alloys, copper, titanium, bronze, brass, and other non-ferrous metal alloys.
The main types of CNC turning operations include:
- Turning — forming smooth cylindrical surfaces of the required dimensions on a metal workpiece.
- Facing — machining the end faces of a workpiece.
- Drilling — creating and machining technological holes in the workpiece.
- Thread cutting — producing external and internal threads.
- Groove and slot machining — cutting technological grooves and slots in the workpiece.
CNC Turning and Milling Operations Make It Possible to Manufacture
- Fastening elements — bolts, nuts, screws, studs, lugs, and other components.
- Working mechanisms and machine parts — shafts, rotation axes, bushings, couplings, pulleys, rollers, and other components.
- Connecting elements — fittings, nipples, adapters, and flanges for hydraulic and pneumatic systems of various designs.
- Precision components — drills, industrial cutting knives, and parts for marine, river, automotive, and railway transport.
- Structural components for special-purpose equipment — parts of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, manifolds, rods, pistons, housings, and other components.
- Other elements — augers, clamps, connectors, instrument housings, and much more.
