What is CNC Turning
CNC turning is a typical reduction manufacturing process that uses cutting tools to remove part of the material from the outside. As the workpiece rotates (continuously rotates), excess pieces are chipped away until the desired shape, diameter, and dimensions of the final product are reached. CNC turning is suitable for cutting metals, wood, plastics and other polymers. In addition, because the process uses computer-generated programs and codes, its products tend to have high dimensional accuracy.
CNC Turning involves rotating and turning the work piece, usually the material being processed is cylindrical or circular. However, CNC turning can work with different shapes of materials when using compatible adapters. It is important to note that there are different tools on the turret of a CNC lathe or CNC turning center, and the more cutters that can be accommodated, the more complex the machine is and the better suited it is for complex designs.
Types of CNC Turning Perations
Straight line CNC turning: Linear CNC turning involves using a cutting tool to reduce thediameter of the workpiece evenly. The technology is designed to process the material to a specified thickness. It can quickly remove part of the material, thereby preventing changes in the diameter of the product. It is sometimes called a rough car and requires additional machining to obtain dimensional accuracy.
Knurling: This operation involves the introduction of jagged, angled, or crossed cutting patterns on the workpiece surface. The craft usually introduces a firm grip, as the pattern increases friction. It is also suitable for making bolts and nuts for threaded holes. It is worth noting that this operation may require a specially designed knurled tool.
Segmentation: Segmentation is a processing technique that uses a single point cutting tool to create a deep groove in the material to remove its internal components. As the name suggests, it results in producing parts or cutting off parts of the original.
Tapered turning: Tapered turning involves gradually reducing the diameter of the material from one end to the other. The angular motion between the material and the cutting tool causes the workpiece diameter to transition and decrease. As with most turning operations, the final product is cylindrical.
Thread machining: Threading is another CNC turning process that involves the cutting tool moving along the side of the material to cut the thread onto the external parts of the work piece. A thread is a spiral groove of a specific length and spacing.
Slotting: This CNC turning operation creates a narrow cut a groove in the workpiece. It involves the action of a sharp tool head on a material to cut at the same width as thecutting tool. With the help of a variety of cutting tools, wider diameter grooves can be machined.
