CNC turning is one of the computer-controlled machining processes used to manufacture parts with tight tolerances and good surface. Although CNC turning and CNC milling are both related to CNC machining, they differ significantly in some ways. In CNC milling, the cutting tool rotates, while the workpiece remains fixed or moves along multiple axes; In CNC turning, the workpiece rotates at high speed while a stationary cutting tool removes material. The specific working principle of CNC turning makes it lower cost and easier quality control when it comes to mass production.
CNC turning is often used to make cylindrical and rotational parts made from aluminum, stainless steel, brass, titanium and other alloy materials, and precision CNC turning is rather suited for custom components that require tight control of dimension and concentricity tolerance.
Turned parts are also widely used in a large range of application industries, such as automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment, electronics, robotics, etc. These components usually include:
·Shafts and pins: the most common CNC turned parts that widely used for power transmission, alignment, and positioning. Different levels of straightness and concentricity are needed according to actual requirement in components assembly.
· Bushings and sleeves: cylindrical components that usually used to reduce friction, guide motion, or protect mating parts. These parts often demand specific diameter tolerances for sliding or interference fittings.
· Threaded Components: bolts, studs and connectors usually have non-standard thread types or tolerances to fit specific sizes in related assemblies, such as industrial equipment and energy systems.
· Rings and spacers: rings and spacers are important in alignment, separation and support function, especially in piping systems. Based on the overall design, the size and thickness differs significantly.
· Rollers and Pulleys: rollers and pulleys rely on cylindrical surfaces for smooth motion and long service life in belts and conveyors. They usually require precise sizes in diameter and roundness, and specific surface finish for wear resistance.
