FAQs For CNC Turning
What's CNC turning?
CNC Turning is a precision machining process where a computer-controlled lathe rotates the workpiece while a stationary cutting tool removes material to shape the part. It is primarily used to create cylindrical or symmetrical parts, such as shafts, bushings, and threads. CNC turning is ideal for producing high-precision components with tight tolerances, often in industries like automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
Is CNC lathe and CNC turning same?
Yes, CNC lathe and CNC turning refer to the same process, but from different perspectives:
CNC Lathe: Refers to the machine itself, which rotates the workpiece while the cutting tool removes material. A CNC lathe is the equipment used for CNC turning.
CNC Turning: Refers to the machining process that occurs on a CNC lathe, where the rotating workpiece is shaped by the cutting tool.
In short, a CNC lathe is the machine, and CNC turning is the process it performs.
What are the disadvantages of CNC turning?
What is the difference between CNC turning and CNC milling?
What is the difference between rough turning and finish turning?
The main difference between rough turning and finish turning lies in their purpose and precision:
- Rough Turning:
- Purpose: To quickly remove large amounts of material from the workpiece, shaping it close to the final dimensions.
- Precision: Less accurate, with a rough surface finish and larger tolerances.
- Cutting Depth: Deeper cuts with higher feed rates to maximize material removal.
- Finish Turning:
- Purpose: To achieve the final shape and smooth surface finish with high precision.
- Precision: Very accurate, with tight tolerances and a smooth surface finish.
- Cutting Depth: Shallow cuts with lower feed rates for finer detailing.
What parts can be made with CNC turning?
Plastics: CNC mills can also shape various plastic materials, including acrylic, PVC, polyethylene, and nylon, among others. These plastics are often used in the manufacture of medical devices, consumer products, and electronic components.
Composite materials: CNC mills can machine composites, which are a combination of materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar. These composites are often used in the aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods industries.
Ceramics: CNC mills can precisely shape and cut various types of ceramics, including alumina, zirconia, silicon carbide and silicon nitride. Due to the brittle nature of ceramics, the milling process requires special attention to factors such as cutting speed, tool selection and cooling to prevent cracking or chipping of the material.
