Introduction to CNC Turning
CNC turning is a metal machining process used for producing high-precision cylindrical parts. Computer-controlled lathes ensure stable and repeatable manufacturing of components with tight tolerances. The lathes in our machine park support both turning and milling operations along the C and Y axes. Driven tools make it possible to perform various milling and drilling operations which, combined with turning, enable efficient production of highly complex parts.
The CNC turning method is used to machine cylindrical parts by removing material from a rotating workpiece using a cutting tool controlled by a CNC system.
It is most commonly used for the production of:
- shafts and spindles
- bushings and bearing seats
- threaded elements
- flanges
- precision cylindrical components
- parts with tapered or profiled surfaces
CNC turning enables operations such as:
- external and internal turning
- drilling and hole enlargement
- thread cutting
- grooving
- taper and profile turning
Thanks to numerical control, this process ensures high precision, repeatability and stable quality, which is why it is widely used for manufacturing parts for the mechanical, automotive, medical and electrical industries.
CNC turning offers an optimal balance between production speed and precision, making it ideal for prototypes, small batches and high-volume production.
CNC Turning Services
Precision Turning of Cylindrical Parts
We manufacture various types of cylindrical components based on technical documentation or sample parts. Special attention is given to dimensional accuracy, surface finish and part functionality in operation.
Threading and Tapered Elements
CNC turning enables the production of external and internal threads, as well as special tapered geometries used in mechanical and energy systems.
Machining of Complex Turned Components
Live tooling, that is, driven tools, enables material machining with milling cutters and other tooling for the production of irregular forms. Combined with advanced CAM software, multi-axis machining on our CNC lathes provides a competitive advantage over conventional turning processes.
