Types of CNC turning services
CNC turning is an operation on a lathe that removes material from the outer surface of a workpiece. Types of CNC turning services below:
Cylindrical processing
It is a process that uniformly reduces the diameter of the workpiece,
to prevent changes in cutting diameter.
Cone processing
It is a process in which a blank with decreasing diameter is created into a cylindrical shape.
Cutting
is a type of CNC turning process in which a narrow
the cavity is formed by pressing a forming tool into the workpiece.
Separation
is the process of cutting a piece of workpiece while it is held in
lathe. For this process it is specially used
formed incisor.
Spherical Shape Generation
The shape is created around a fixed axis using a program to reduce the diameter to zero to obtain a perfect spherical shape.
Knurling
The knurling process is a process in which the workpiece is cut
jagged pattern. It is used for materials requiring
additional grip on the surface.
Thread processing
Thread machining is a type of CNC turning. It helps create grooves that allow for easy screwing
procurement to other objects.
boring holes
Single-point tool feeds linearly, parallel to the axis
rotation, to the inner diameter of the existing hole in the part.

How does CNC turning work?
CNC turning is a manufacturing process that involves rotating a workpiece around its axis while a cutting tool removes material from the workpiece to create the desired shape or size. The process is automated and controlled by numerical control software.
Here are the main stages of CNC turning:
Preparation of the workpiece:
The workpiece is mounted on the lathe spindle. A lathe may have a chuck or chuck head to securely hold the workpiece.
Tool setup:
The cutting tool is selected depending on the desired shape and material of the workpiece. The tool is mounted on the turret of the lathe.
Programming:
CNC software is used to program the lathe with the required dimensions and shape of the final product. This includes the speed and feed of the cutting tool.
Turning:
The lathe begins to rotate the workpiece at a specified speed, and the cutting tool moves across the surface of the workpiece, removing material to create the desired shape.
Finish:
Once the rough shape is obtained, the cutting tool is replaced by a finishing tool, which creates a smooth surface on the workpiece.
Quality control:
The finished workpiece is tested for compliance with the specified characteristics.
